It would have stayed apolitical if no governments would have purchased it or talked about creating a bitcoin reserve. Since big corporations are buying it, especially in US, it's not apolitical anymore. Just like oil, countries have already started building their Bitcoin reserve. So it's not apolitical.
That's why I never cheer when some big corporations buy bitcoin. Bitcoin should really have stayed with commoners like us. We really needed something of our own which is slowly becoming the puppet of the corporates and governments.
I agree with your statement that Bitcoin remains apolitical only if governments and institutions stay out of it. If governments or institutions remain entrenched in it, Bitcoin will potentially be impacted by any political or economic issues, whether it's a massive sell-off or other events that could potentially impact the price. While Bitcoin cannot be directly intervened, as more governments and institutions build their reserves, we will see an increase in centralized Bitcoin ownership, which is something we don't want.
