Only Gary and maybe Ted and Cynthia see any difference between Bitcoin and crypto. The White House is pissed BTC hasn't switched to POS, while Gary would call it a security if it did. If you still think Chokepoint is only after crypto, you're dreaming.
In fact stablecoins, even the sketchy one, Tether, freezes coins when they get a call from Uncle Sam. Bitcoin? Not so much. Gary's opinions on things might not represent all of the government's and some "Bitcoinfluencers" haven't updated their narratives that they may be in an adversarial country.
