This is only vaguely related but:

At first everyone's like "Yeah, fuck state government and central authority. We don't need them to run our economy! Let the people take their money into their own hands! Bitcoin FTW!" In fact, this forum is full of slogans like that.

But as soon as people lose their precious coins due to their own carelessness and greed to a dubious enterprise in the East they all go running for law, police and central authority to rescue their asses.

And you know what happens when you ask authority for help: they will place their protective palms on your butts and slowly move their middle finger up your cavities.

I'd rather have a glass of champagne with that Chinese millionaire and take a look at his relic collection (and maybe steal one) than listen to a heard of sheep whining and complaining to authority.

Most of y'all early adopters will lose most of their coins anyway and still end up richer than today. Just you wait!
