So far I think its only people or organizations that are trying to create a new crypto currency to just be out there and maybe one day compete with bitcoin. But what if a government decides to create a country's own and legit altcoin? How would that affect the whole scenario? Will it be an instant success, especially if the country is big enough in population or has decent enough international trading going on.

Not sure if its really possible for a country to have thier own altcoin, country's central bank would mean useless.
But granting this can happen, bitcoin might just be one of the coin with high value. It will be good for us.

as per my view it will be success but it will take time and manipulation will also be high as the coin will be used by all the people just like fiat currency but even then i think main Bitcoin wont get affected much as it is used by full world and who ever is in crypto world will be knowing this

This idea isn't strange for me, because there are few countries declared that they will create their own digital currencies, China one of them, they want to hire blockchain experts in order to create a digital currency, I also heard the same about Sweden.

What they are trying to do is to counter the effect Bitcoin in particular is havingor going to have on their on central banks. Most people that are into Bitcoin now prefer to have thei money in BTC rather than save it banks and if this trend continues they are in for a big problem because it will be difficult to control bitcoin

This should have little affect as it would be controlled which sort of defeats the object of crypto.

i don't think that government will do this because they should know about the technology first and make a study and research before they want to apply this. i think it will make an affect with crypto currency business but its not a big problem with other altcoins since the coins from the government is new and people still don't know what is the main benefit of that coins. if there is many of benefit from the coins, then people will be make use in trading like other altcoins.

Yes you are right, the government will not do this because country has it's own fees structure on banks, as bitcoin free structure is very low so government won't show much interest on other altcoins, now many countries are impressed with bitcoin technology so the government will plan to install this new technology for further access of buying and selling bitcoin, same as other commodities.

DECENTRALIZATION - that is what crypto is all about. A Gov is just another form of centralized fiat for the fractional banking system. That can not compete.

As we know bitcoin first then altcoin second so the risk for being second is it must work harder to make it better than original !
But sometimes life can change based on luck so if you want to keep inventing another altcoin, you need learn more and more since there will be new altcoin that keep occur and keep competing !

Probably, it's a big maybe like if US creates a altcoin and doesn't have any taxes on its transactions then it may become successful, but the thing is ultimately it will still be a altcoin and it's price will depend on the traders and miners. Still I think it would be more successful than the current altcoins atleast.

I think yes there will be a great chance for that altcoin if the government will push that project to create their own specific altcoin that is exclusive in their country. If a country has a great government and fair enough amount of investors then the coin will become a successful coin because of its high potential.

I guess you were sleep this all time dude, governments are already doing this just by transferring bits of code as valued credits and then you could get your hands on paper cash at the end just like any crypto currency.
Also using open source ledger stops the governments influence that's why they use as closed source.

everyone is talking about government issues altcoins these days for some weird reason! and i think if they do this we are all going to use it as we are using fiat right now without any problem and thinking twice but at the same time that doesn't mean that altcoin can replace or threaten the place that bitcoin and some of the altcoins have, because simply put nothing can beat decentralization.

@FAILCommunity

A state/government can just create its own currency and you can use it via CC for example. You don't need to "touch" it. Most of the money in circulation are just numbers on someone's screen. Sweden is soon most likely to be the first cashless country in the world. The question here is not IF, but WHEN. Blockchain technology can be still considered as fragile and it would take (imho) at least 5-10 more years, until banks implement it.

people make altcoins to make more money from pump and dump and this is true about 99% of them.
that leftover 1% are some projects that the developers try to make something good but they usually don't succeed!

it would not be a success.
it may be used but since there is no difference between a government created altcoin and fiat, people won't be so willing to switch to it. whereas they use bitcoin because of what it offers: the decentralization mostly.

I think explaining part won't be much hard, the tough part would be to convince them to use or persuade them to switch.

IMO it would be impossible Cheesy

From the other hand if you look from the governments perspective it could be success if they would try to introduce in multiple steps, lets say in first step would be able to pay their taxes came from online incomes, since these people probably are more familiar with these online and virtual stuffs.

What government can do in near future is;
Create own blockchain based currency backed by their own fiat/paper cash to digitize their ecosystem. But this can't compete with bitcoin as all this tokens/coins will be just like the way you have electronic banking system with full control of banks/governments in your money.

Just the tech behind bitcoin and these coins could be same but they can't have same functions and properties or even get international acceptance.
