The hypothetical situation that I brought up and the hypothetical situation that you brought up are really rather pointless though, due to to the fact that government will never be able to buy up 20,999,999 bitcoins - even if they tried, they would make multi-millionaires and multi-billionaires out of the people they are buying Bitcoin from once the supply falls due to their massive demand. As we all know, money moves markets and controls government, so due to the massive amounts of wealth they've handed out to millions of people around the world they will be in a very bad financial position themselves, and will have empowered the very people they're trying to stop - libertarians, agorists and free-thinkers - by making them some of the wealthiest people in the world, guaranteeing the destruction of government in the process.
