Here's the thing -- the average BitCoin neckbeard is this anarcocapitalist/libertarian shithead who thinks that they're smarter than everyone else. They believe that they're too smart to need banking regulations, or hell, most of the normal functions of government. While I certainly believe in the progress of technology, they've taken it to this absurd extreme where they can overthrow the state. If you're skeptical of this digital funny money, you must be a statist/Federal Reserve shill/big bank shill/whatever because the power of bitscion is so supremely self-evident that anyone who looks at it must agree completely. (It is usually a coin flip if legitimate criticism of btc will be downvoted to oblivion in the bitcoin subreddits.)

So yeah, whenever these smug assholes get hoisted by their own petard, we like to point and laugh (or chuckle, or cackle, whatever). The odious political views make it easy to do this without feeling guilt (ancaps are frequently the sort who have no sympathy for the lesser-off of society as it is). Bitcoin is a libertarian experiment that is demonstrating the reason why all of these "statist" regulations exist.
