This creates the impression that it's only vested interests who
consider the whole idea a pump-and-dump scam. And that's not the case
at all.

As Richard Dawkins says to creationists, "debating me would look good
on your CV, debating you would not look good on mine." Bitcoin would
love an FSF-related imprimatur (and FSFE counts); feeding the vested
interests of the early Bitcoin adopters and their wish to con people
into buying their coins may not be in FSFE's best interests.
