Absolutely, but I also think it will survive even if politicians get involved.
@kepford has made this point a bunch of times: there's no way bitcoin succeeds without attracting the attention of people we don't want involved with it. If bitcoin is what most of us think it is, then they won't be able to hurt it.

But it would have been nice if it wasnt a huge political platform.

From what I understand, a 51% attack actually requires far more than 51%, because of the probabilities involved.
I suppose it's possible they would pursue that, but I don't think it's likely.

Wouldn't people just stop using it, though? It seems like a very crude and expensive attack on bitcoin savings. Considering that many mainstream investors hold Bitcoin now, I'm not sure why they'd want to do this.
