Yeah, imagine using Netscape in 2017 and not Chrome - that's pretty much how I look at Bitcoin.

The anarchists say how important Bitcoin is, yet, all they care is its fiat exchange ratio as all they care about - cash out their stash in fiat just right before it starts dropping in a get-rich-quick pipe dream.

Are you talking about any specific "anarchists"?

Well, those who express a pathological fear of governments, control, and so on.

It's not only anarchists that fear government control over private life (mass surveillance, the erosion of privacy and contract rights, economic centralization through regulatory barriers to entry and gatekeeping, etc are valid concerns that many have).
