Politicians just most of people follow narratives. Who is creating and maintaining negative narratives against #bitcoin? If you follow it you get a reply where democratic states are heading blindly. China and other dictatorships banned or are at the process of banning #PoW and #bitcoin to preserve its benefits as their own privilege, just as dictatorships did with other freedoms. Unfortunately, most of people in democracies think that freedoms are guaranteed and you don’t need any more need to defend it. I assure you, that it is not a case at all. Freedoms are easy to lose and almost impossible, or only with a highest price you get back.
