They don't have great legal grounds to attack bitcoin imo, only threat to national security or treason or some bs

Well, rather than attacking alt-coins wouldn't lobbying for laws to allow them to block bitcoin exchanges (or tightly regulate them) as other countries have done be stronger evidence they were trying to undermine crypto?

The GP has drawn a strange correlation in my opinion that doesn't follow logic. But I admit I could be missing the logic.

Legit Bitcoin creates tax revenue so there is that too.
