The thing about Bitcoin in politics is that it threatens the apparatus of The State, in 2000 when Republicans held the power of The State The Democrats were "libertarian" but now Democrats hold the apparatus of The State Republicans are "libertarians" but in ~20 to 50 years from now when Republicans regain the apparatus of The State they will threaten Bitcoin by it being a National Security Threat but Bitcoin will be so normalized like Marijuana by then that any attempt to shut it down, or outlaw it will loom silly.

Even right now Bitcoin is too big to stop but this is probably the last chance the government has for a chance to shut it down before it goes super viral.
