I see a certain level of immaturity in a lot of bitcoiners. They have this naive idea that if groups or people use bitcoin in ways they don't like that will affect bitcoin... It doesn't. If it did, bitcoin would fail. What does affect bitcoin is the code, the nodes, and the miners. If people wanna be stupid and give their precious money to someone else that's on them. They will lose it. They will have to learn their lesson the hard way.
When you act all concerned about people using bitcoin in ways you don't agree with you come off as insecure and insecure about bitcoin's strength. Governments will try to destroy it, when they fail they will try to control it. They can't. They can only control those that allow themselves to be controlled. Let the fools be fools. Be a light. Be a citadel. Do things the right way and people will come and find you when they are ready.
