I think your premise is wrong.
lots of bitcoiners do this:
You can't have it both ways. You either believe bitcoin is the future of money, or else you believe its a niche cool band that only you and your buddies will know about.
Great point! it may be the entire point of bitcoin that enemies can use it together.
But is there a difference with pushing for publicly funded/gov't involved bitcoin reserves? I suppose not. Afterall, I probably would feel the same way if it came out that the gov't was surreptitiously buying bitcoin.
On the other hand, bitcoiners are also citizens/subjects of the states in which they live. Their feelings about what the state does are not the same as their feelings about what Bitcoin is. Can I believe bitcoin is permissionless money and yet also believe my government shouldn't acquire a stockpile?
Also, do you think the gov't is more or less likely to try to control bitcoin if it has a "strategic reserve"?
