Bitcoiners,

I thought it is a good idea to bring many angles in this forum together, because many of them touch this question:

How to grow the Bitcoin idea and avoid that governments shut it down?

I would like to see some answers / opinions on how to make Bitcoins widespread and more and more valuable, but at the same time do it in a sensible way to avoid that it will be shut down.

Related to this, the founders must have thought about this question, so how did they address this question?
