Maybe it has also something to do with the fact that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has received several million dollars in Bitcoin after the authorities had frozen him out of the banking system and seized his assets. Anyone just thinking Bitcoin is "bollocks" should see the world from a less priviledged first world viewpoint. There are millions of people who are unbanked or live in countries where assets can simply be taken away. It enables people to transfer wealth across borders just by remembering a seed phrase. This is a powerful technology.
