If it's a government agency, what is the mandate and charter ? Is it not like opening a can of worms ? Will it not backfire ?
Remember, this never needs to go public. If bitcoin gets taken down, we will only know that it happened, not who did it or why. Even if it is later discovered who did it, the damage is still done. If people lose millions of dollars and the Big Problem of the bitcoin protocol is exposed, I don't really see how it will backfire. All of a sudden now the general public is going to run away from big banks and government aid? Not likely.

Then again the best interest of a bank could very well be to adopt the technology instead of trying to make as if it was never invented.
Highly unlikely. The Rothschild era of bitcoin has come and gone and the players are already decided with little chance of big banks making much headway. They are not going to relinquish control of money to the early adopters.
but yet you were willing to try and start an alt chain by the name of Encoin which apparently has failed since i don't see it in your sig anymore.
if it had been successful then YOU would have clearly been an early adopter and stood to gain the most from its success. i guess in that scenario an alternative form of money would be OK, right?
but since you're clearly not a Bitcoin early adopter, it must be a bad thing and is highly likely to be destroyed by these big entities? stop with the FUD.
