Bitcoin must become a 3rd rail of US politics similar to entitlements(social security or Medicare). If politicians vote against it they know they’ll be instantly voted out.

If you are in a swing congressional district, your US representative actually cares a lot if they receives lots of emails from voters on an issue. If they get a few hundred or thousands emails saying “hey I will vote for the other guy if you try to crush Bitcoin” we would sway a lot of votes. It won’t get everyone or override big campaign donations, but all else equal we can swing a meaningful number of votes.
