I agree with this. The framing would be bad and could be used against bitcoin, but I fail to see how this would be any different than saying a car that was used to run over people was a weapon? I don’t think it’s anything to worry about, and bitcoin will just keep going regardless of what people want to call it. I might be wrong, but they’ve tried everything and it hasn’t worked.

I’m more concerned about them tieing it to a nation we are in a hot war with, and using that to wrongly link anyone who uses it as supporting the enemy, or any enemy of the state. This is a story that the majority of people would fall for.
