My response is always: bitcoin is not your forum to push your ideology.
If you like bitcoin and want to see it used worldwide, freeing people from their central banks, then we need to do what we can to push back when illegality is associated with bitcoin.
While it may be worth a try, I'm afraid your efforts may be futile. Firstly, you just revealed to your enemy what you are afraid off and secondly, they control the media and media likes sensationalist stories. They will manipulate how Bitcoin is perceived regardless of what we do. The only way we will come on top is if we have indestructible infrastructure. Only then will people start seeing Bitcoin for what it is - the free, worldwide currency that belongs to them. And only then they will dare use it
