Whether or not the U.S. government funds circumvention tools, or who exactly it funds and with what amount, it is clear that Internet users in China and elsewhere are seeking out and creating their own ad hoc solutions to access the uncensored global Internet.
The City of London has never been known for understanding technology and has never matched Silicon Valley's tradition of knowledgeable investment in technology start-ups, just as the U.K. government has never matched the vast investment made by the U.S. government.
Every time the U.S. government makes a low-cost loan to someone, it's investing in them.
If the U.S. government tries to restrict or clamp down, that just means there will be many more bitcoin businesses in Hong Kong and Singapore, and all those Americans will miss out on all the opportunities.

I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism.

And it's easy for us because it's just some oil.

Very few people realize that the U.S. government does not have the power to order the recall of contaminated meat.
