Everyone who has advocated for Bitcoin to be only a store of value is a bad actor, remember that.
Not being able to use Bitcoin as money is what governments want, because it prevents one of its main features, black markets and tax evasion, which is essentially preventing you from being robbed.
Governments love the idea of Bitcoin as a store of value, where it increases in price and you sell it through the cash register and pay taxes.
If you can afford to use Bitcoin as money, things change, because in that case, Bitcoin has an outlet beyond the traditional KYC circuits.
So anything that allows Bitcoin to be used as money is welcome.
