That was really the fundamental purpose of bitcoin, no? It operated even without the government but it was fine when only a few people were using it but then it got so much attention that in the end the government started noticing it and setting restrictions against it. That’s why the hope for bitcoin, from not needing the government to now seeing the government be accepting of bitcoin as bullish signs, has shifted.
Some are still ignorant to BTC, some are more open to it; no matter what, eventually, everybody who did try to trust BTC would be rewarded, while everybody else - would be with their own thoughts, but without BTC and the progress it may of brought to them.
