Even for them, there are far more important concerns than bitcoin. Let's not make the mistake of elevating bitcoin to be more than it is -- it is the best money ever invented, but money is just a tool for social coordination. Good money will help to improve many societal ills that are currently symptoms of corrupt money, but good money will not fix everything.
I happen to believe there are higher order concerns (things of eternal nature), but even if you are strictly focused on civil society, we need to foster virtue to have any chance of long-term success.
