Bitcoin is a major problem for the collectivist mindset that permeates much of Western politics and media. This contingent requires the perpetuation of the fiat system and the ever growing powers of redistribution given to the government in order for their worldview to not crumble to pieces.

Couple that with the fact they are preaching to an audience who are suffering from serious consistency bias because they likely heard about bitcoin years ago and dismissed it as a scam, ponzi scheme, bubble etc and need to double down or admit they were wrong and missed out on being in on an early wave of adoption. That is another issue with the modern collectivist mindset, they are never willing to admit they are wrong. It is always someone else's fault.
