Although they are all financial markets, there are some differences: the gold market and the stock market are markets that have existed for hundreds of years and have reached maturity. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency is like a newborn baby and everything is still in its infancy, so it will need government support to mature. The gold and stock markets were able to mature as they are today thanks to government support, so bitcoin is no exception if we want it to develop like the other two markets.
What you say is not wrong but it is inevitable. Do you have any ideas to stop the government from interfering in the crypto industry? Do you have a solution to help bitcoin achieve global popularity and a market capitalization of tens of trillions of dollars like gold or stocks without the need for governments?
I'll answer both to these, but i don't think that's an answer you are looking for.
The fact that people are seeking for government support for something, that drives the value from the very idea of being resilient against governments oversight... that is still mind-boggling to me.
I don't think the main goal of bitcoin should be more global popularity. That seems forced, as it's popular as hell already. Nor the main goal should be pumping value to it with the help of a government. Let bitcoin itself prove to be valuable, so it will get as valuable as markets want it to be.
Also how can trump be pro-crypto, when he obviously haven't got a clue what the whole concept is?
Do you think Harris knows everything about bitcoin?

Frankly i am not sure. But if i had to guess, she probably understands the basics on a same level as majority of cryptocurrency holders, which isn't much. But i definitely think that she would have capacity to understand it deeper, if/when ever she has time to dig into it. And unlike trump, she is able to listen experts and advisors, so it wouldn't take long for her to comprehend it.
