People usually assume that only liberals espouse any form of regulation. The truth is that conservatives do too. It just depends on who they're regulating. (Liberals want to regulate Wall Street and the environment. Conservatives want to regulate gays and vaginas, or anything that threatens wealthy people.)

It is true that some liberals have come out against Bitcoin on the grounds that it could disrupt the effectiveness of monetary policy. And of course, "liberals" in Congress - especially Senators - are typically in the pocket of wealthy people who dislike Bitcoin.
