Interestingly my answer is no. Because I will be die fighting before giving up my freedom of speech. Supreme court in the USA has already ruled: code is speech. Any attempt to "outlaw" bitcoin means outlawing speech and will illegitimize the tyrants attempting to do so.
There are people living outside USA too.

All Americans are stupid right? So stupid to have established freedom of speech and self-defense as God-given human rights? If I am a public figure or under legal challenge anywhere in the world, I will point to the concept of Freedom of Speech and use it to defend my RIGHT to run free and open source code. The constitution in the united states is an example to follow. Not the current tyrannical government, but the concept and tradition of Liberty. Running away from tyrants and hiding is not what we are supposed to do. Stay quiet, but if challenged we must defend our rights for the good of humanity yet to come.

Good luck in trying to get some liberties by pointing to US Constitution in, for example, Russia.

I said I would point to freedom of speech as a concept and fight for our rights as humans… what is your problem with my sentiment here?
So far you insult me and suggest fighting against tyranny will not work. Of course it doesn’t always work.
Cowards like you hide in your holes and pick up the pieces after the battles.
