That part also jumped out to me as a leap in logic, but I think there’s a case to be made for that scenario, that gives it some chance of happening (~50%). It would be the first crypto accepted by the US government. That’s a great marketing tagline, and even if the US created some random crypto linked to gasoline, tobacco, or marijuana taxes it’ll probably be hyped. Also, it seems that almost anything marketed as a cryptocurrency leads to speculation, even though this proposal is actually more like a digital asset or security.
Reasoning about crypto value is difficult, or maybe impossible. There’s a large amount of complexity in
which pretty much removes any importance of the rest of your scenario.

That’s a great point, thank you for bringing the idea back down to earth.
