Yeah. I 100% agree with you, these are the kinds of risks in front of us. Which is why we spend so much time in front of and educating lawmakers to avoid overly burdensome legislation and regulatory rule-making. I get frustrated by the extremists among us who just assume this is a battle of civilizations, there's no point engaging with the government at all, and just asserting that bitcoin exists as an extra-legal jurisdiction that is beyond the reach of the state, and that the state is on the way out anyways. These are the most counterproductive attitudes I encounter.

A good example of this, is those who act with moral outrage and/or surprise, when the government enforces laws against engaging in financial transactions on bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies) *at* *all*. It's almost like people are saying "don't you understand the rules of anarchy apply, government?" It's hard not to worry such people are not completely in fantasyland.
