In our natural world of existence, people tends to forget the many times you've helped, how you came to the rescue when there was no where else to turn, how you became a glimpse of hope and capitalise on the single wrong you've done. Your flaws always seems to over shadow your good. Although, the operations and functions of bitcoin is far from being the only symbol of hope for humanity but, it surely have its advantages and that shouldn't be over shadowed by the ills individuals get involved with and leveraging it for its anonymity.
Bitcoin has been linked so much to freedom and in many ways, it seems the only way to bring the common man and the first class citizens to an equilibrium. Where no one gets to define what you own or how we you use it. Hence, I see reasons as to why, th various human right activists has to step up to defend the freedom of the system and I am particularly proud that they recognised this fact and did.
It's also part of human nature to be egotistical and negligent with issues which don't affect them directly. That is why governments, politicians and regulators in general are so cold when labeling bitcoin. They have no empathy for those who live in devastated countries by war, economical crisis, scarcity and corrupt leaders. Bitcoin has been helpful and decisive in almost every corners of the world for many people, in almost every continents (with exception of Oceania, I suppose). If those politicians had to live for a time period in a chaotic region of the world, I think they would change or open their minds really fast to bitcoin adoption and integration on the daily life of citizens.
