That's true. Nation's are the people group. I think @ken means states/governments.

states/govs is even worse... A gov can't manage a BTC wallet. It comes the question: for WHO they manage that wallet?
  • for the CORPORATION government?
  • for gov members?
Then why rest of the people have to pay for that wallet if they do not use it? It is kind of moronic to think that a gov will manage a BTC wallet.
Bitcoin is for individuals not for governments.

The state is a corporation. I agree with that analogy. Its evil. Its oppressive. It doesn't matter if they "can" manage a BTC wallet. I don't know what your point is...
Corporations are just legal entities that only exist if we accept the system in which they exist. We live in a world where most people accept this. They don't even think about it. Same goes for the state.
So.... we get it. Most don't. And now what?

'Im sick of all this statism.'
Then go live somewhere there is no functional government...
Oh but wait- you won't do that because in reality you are as much dependent upon the state for your wealth and security as everyone else!
Actions speak louder than words...

Libertarians struggle to understand that the wealth of nations is largely dependent upon their governments.
That is why a nation might operate a Bitcoin wallet.

Do you really think nations care about how some citizens feel about them holding bitcoin? You don't think they will do anything to stay alive? To preserve power?
Just seems a bit naive.

To be clear with words. Here's the definitions I follow
Nations = people group Country = land State = government.
Governments claim to represent their nation (citizens if you will) and when the trust the people have that this is happen weakens the state fails. I agree with you. The state and its actors care about maintaining power at the base. In reality they don't care what the plebs think beyond losing trust in them.
