The next few years are gonna be where either see an attack or don't see one. I think the likelihood of direct attack gets smaller every day. They appear to be attacking indirectly already and I suspect this will continue for the foreseeable future.
One huge advantage we have is that the state is full of individuals that have their own agendas. The state is not a well oiled machine. It is powerful but it is not a singular all powerful force.
That is a good point. However, I don't believe those are the ones Bitcoin needs to be worried about. I'm thinking more in lines with the CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies and dark/shadow organizations that have a sordid past at the behest of the rich elites.

Yeah, valid. But I'm actually referring to those agencies as well. Historically they compete, have differing goals, and often fight each other. Same goes for the elites. The transition is not gonna be fun for sure. To me, bitcoin is more like a life raft. I truly believe it is beyond the point of being stoppable. Now, bitcoiners can be stopped, for now at least.

Agreed; it's beyond stoppable unless the gov. goes full China on our asses.
