An example of some of these people are members in this forum, so I am want to ask a personal question, do you think of yourself as a bad citizen for disobeying the government? Do you agree that you are a violator for breaking the law? Now see things from a religious side as well, by disobeying the government and investing in bitcoins, are you committing the sin of direct disobedience?
do you think every law that the government have passed should be followed? Do you follow every law the government have passed? do you consider yourself a bad citizen for not following all the law the government have passed? the thing is, it doesn't make you a bad citizen if you do not follow certain laws, especially if the law you are breaking does not affect anyone in any way, including the religious side as well.
Citizen should follow the law imposed by the government. Else there will be chaos everywhere. The government is established to give a standard set of rules so that a country will live in harmony but of course that will not always happen.
If a citizen does not want to follow the law of its country then that citizen is better to look for another country where his ideal fit in. Any one violating the government law is a bad citizen but it does not mean that that citizen is a bad person.
especially if the law you are breaking does not affect anyone in any way
I believe if you break the law it automatically affect someone. or something, specifically the government imposed law....
Bitcoin is still very illegal in many countries and to many governments, but in many of these countries, what is surprising is that you will still find investors in bitcoins who are going against the government and secretly buying and investing in bitcoins.

Violators? Has this country really guaranteed the welfare of its people and given them decent jobs? This must be what the governments that illegalize crypto think, assuming that cities are violating their laws. But meanwhile they have not been able to provide a decent life and facilities to their citizens. Hmm, this actually doesn't need to be answered. Because never mind, we ourselves go through it and we know our own condition.
I think it is not about the performance of the government but the implementation of the law by the government. The government performance can be discussed in another topic... and yeah we all know that most of the government officials overpromised but under delivered worst many are corrupt.
