I doubt it. If the establishment tries to talk about bitcoin, it will attract a lot of attention and nocoiners will get more curious to understand. Once they understand, they will try to get in. From the establishment viewpoint, they will try to silence any mention of it, not blast the word from a megaphone. Attempts of bad publicity will backfire.

So the question is whether more commoners will discover it on their own when shit hits the fan.

They don't have to discuss the benefits to label Bitcoiners as tax dodgers, scammers, greater fools, parasites of various stripes. That will give them cover in a crisis to bring in punitive laws that target the UX of self-custody and herd people custodial solutions where they can be 6102'd.

Self-custody is non-negotiable. We take it up to the Supreme Court, and if the Supreme Court doesn't side with us on that point, it's time to clean house.

They can make it difficult without making it illegal
