4) use propaganda to spread the "awareness" of how many baby seals bitcoin mining is killing
5) "embrace" bitcoin through etfs so "bitcoiners" are happy and distracted
6) more propaganda: we're not banning bitcoin, your bank is selling you "bitcoin" now, we're friends, vote for me.
7) attack privacy technologies that interfere with your surveillance
8) but NgU, orange man good, cypherpunks forgotten
