Well, it's a war and maybe those who don't have the stomach for it shouldn't participate.
Bitcoin's very existence where it gives the option to the average Joe to stop using the corrupt banking system is a threat to the corrupted entities. Everyone should know that they won't just stand around and watch. Sometimes it is just propaganda and FUD, sometimes it is legal battle, and sometimes it is outright banning. On top of that we also have the abusers, trolls, criminals, scammers, etc. who would stop at nothing to do damage.
That doesn't mean we should stay silent either or discourage others from joining in the battles. Sometimes people forget the Bitcoin ethos and need to be reminded of them. They need to be reminded that bitcoin isn't just something you buy to make profit...

Your post reminded me of someone's post well let me mention it here: post is in URDU so i will interpret it in English in short.
A government officer is accused of taking bribe in crypto and an investigation is started by FIA. well crypto is ban and no fix punishment is declared for user of crypto, in Pakistan. so the gov officer did not mention in the statement of property that he own 30,000$ of crypto in his wallets. Well the investigation team after taking 15 Lac PKR bribe from that accused person, freed him, well the turning point in the story is during the investigation they (FIA team) withdrawal all the 30k$ worth crypto from his wallets. And when the accused officer asked the FIA about his money than they simply replied. You said you have only the mentioned property in statement then how can you demand us the money that you do not own. hahaha. well these are the scenarios are going on here.
In result, no doubt if there is good use of crypto there than bad use is also there. the results depend on the uses.
