Bitcoin was forged to be unstoppable in a hostile environment, but let’s be perfectly clear: surviving and thriving are two different things. Just because Bitcoin can withstand severe political antagonism doesn’t mean we should want that antagonism, nor does it mean we shouldn’t do everything possible to foster a favorable environment that accelerates adoption.
