Jimmy Song and all the "let's teach government officials about bitcoin" people probably backfired and accelerated Bitcoin's demise in the US. If you want to poison rats, don't tell the rats about the rat poison.

Much more likely it had zero effect. Bitcoin is 15 years old. People are beginning to understand it finally. It’s not as niche as it used to be.

Yes I'm not hand-holding govt. agencies to do this/that with Bitcoin exactly, but at the same time mg education is open for all to join.
I don't KYC people/segregate who join our educational meetups
What you describe is very different than pounding doors at the capital begging for meetings with staffers
Net neutral is best case scenario. It's nost likely net negative imo
