After all, Bitcoin is here to set us free from the heavy chains of our current monetary system.
But that's exactly what you are not supposed to be in their eyes. That's why there is so much focus on destroying what Bitcoin is and it has nothing to do with stopping criminals, pedophiles, and whatnot. It's about stopping all of us using and trusting something out of their reach. It's the same as with the POW mining objectors. It's not about having people move to clean energy sources or incentivizing them to do so, it's about attacking a core feature of Bitcoin in an attempt to give it a hard hit that would be difficult to recover from.
