I highly doubt that they would invest in it.  Rather they would figure out the best way to get their cut through taxation.

I think the government is probably scheming to secretly undermine bitcoin.

If they can't destroy it then they'd be stupid not to invest in it instead, which of course would increase the value of the coins due to limited supply if it happened.  Of course though there's now other competing cryptocurrencies and I'd rather that the government didn't get involved, they always ruin everything that they touch.

2015 wollen NSA und DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) ein neues Datencenter in Betrieb nehmen. Der Bauauftrag im Wert von 565 Millionen US-Dollar wurde im März vergeben, wie Erick Möchel berichtet hat. (D Sokolo) / (anw)

For it to be successful?  I feel that even if exchanges can't convert BTC to USD there will always be individuals willing to do it for a fee.  It will just become more expensive.

I have a friend that is thinking of investing in Bitcoins.  He's the conspiracy theorist type and dug up the story below.  I don't agree with many of the points in the author's argument, but I wanted to post a link to the story here to get thoughts from some cryptocurrency investors with more experience and knowledge than myself.
