I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS
Since the 90s the US government equated the use of cryptography with supporting terrorism. After 9/11, some cypherpunks maintained the mailing list on the provocative domain al-qaeda.net as a form of satire against that criminalization. Bitcoin was born directly out of that mailing list.
So if you support cryptography and private bitcoin use, you’re a terrorist according to the US government.
