It's just the Liz Warren / Jamie Diamond "only drug dealers and terrorists use it" scare tactic. You just have to counter that with "you've never heard of a government supporting those things before?"

And, "the US and its allies could eradicate WMDs if they were the only ones who possessed them, but they aren't, so therefore they can't give them up. And by that same logic, I will never give up my Bitcoin, which subverts all state violence and agents like Epstein"
