Although I agree with the sentiment, I really think we should be pushing more of a 'you do you' kind of thing.
Possibly you want to hold, I want to trade, and that other person over there wants to get BTC so he can buy stuff.
We should be helping people do what they want with no preconceived notions.
Yes, we can point out the good / bad / ugly of what they may or may not want to do. But beyond that, it's their coin. Do with it as they want.

Exactly this. I also believe, for annyone looking into Bitcoin without any of the idealistic/political motives, it's just a matter of time for them to get at least a basic understanding of where Bitcoin comes from in the first place and its potential for political/societal change.
Welcoming any positive adoption (except Ordinals - not true adoption, more comparible to spam-emails xD) is the way to go.
BUT we shouldn't forget that simply HODLing/owning Bitcoin could also be a kind of political movement, because its features could make Bitcoin weaken or break down political strongholds.
It might be premature to call it a revolutionary movement, but what were the motivations of the early cypherpunks when they were building their tools? Satoshi's message in the Genesis Block is also political.
Bitcoin is no longer a non-political issue for governments. Years ago, they did not care about it too much but many years ago, CIA already spent $3000 for Gavin to present about Bitcoin to CIA. It is political.
Last few weeks, Gensler, Chair of SEC. had to make a testimony at the USA. Congress, it's political.
In the USA. 2024 President Election and propaganda before it, Bitcoin will be one of political issues for President candidates and their campaigns to run to the White House.
You are right, Bitcoin has been on the radars of governments for a while now and is still gaining more awareness from these powerful institutions. While generally any established systems tend to see fundamental change as a threat, there are and will be exceptions that hopefully will alaways give enough breathing-room for the core fundamentals of Bitcoin to succeed.
