"Bush's first budget, written in 2001 — seven years ago — called runaway subprime lending by the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "a potential problem" and warned of "strong repercussions in financial markets."
At that time, the very definition of subprime was that Fannie Mae wouldn't touch it. Anyone who though that Fannie Mae was doing too much subprime lending at that point had no idea what they were talking about... like Greg Mankiw, who only argued for GSE reform but against banking reform. There were problems with the GSEs, but subprime lending was not one of them.
Eventually Fannie Mae did get into subprime... because they were forced by their shareholders who demanded a piece of all of the free money everyone else was making despite all of Fannie Mae's effort to explain to them what a terrible idea that was. The had a great presentation that was widely circulated at the time about the growing problem with subprime and CDOs and why any sensible person should stay out of it. The GSEs still keep their exposure to a minimum until they were renationalized to prevent the shareholders from destroying them.'
After all of the bank failures, the GSEs did end up holding a large chunk of subprime, but that was because they were some the the biggest entities that didn't fail, they had experience in the area, and since they had been renationalized the government just transfer the subprime it was holding from the bank failures from one hand to the other.
So history proved Barney Frank correct. Bush did sit by, but apparently not idly since he was putting effort into solving something that wasn't actually the problem.

The mythical "they" isn't going after Bitcoin because it's Bitcoin. They are going after entities who have happened to have been doing transactions in Bitcoin because those entities thing Bitcoin has magical law-repellent properties, and the mythical "they" haven't really been going after them disproportionately.

"What are these people of Rhth?"
Ron Thule's voice was a whisper from the darkness. "I come from a far world, by what strange freak we will not say. I am a savage, a rising race that has not learned the secret of fire, nor bow, nor hammer. Tell me, Shor Nun, what is the nature of the two dry sticks I must rub, that fire may be born? Must they be hard, tough oak, or should one be a soft, resinous bit of pine? Tell me how I may make fire."
"Why---with matches or a heat ra--- No, Ron Thule. Vague thoughts, meaningless ideas and unclear. I---I have forgotten the ten thousand generations of development. I cannot retreat to a level you, savage of an untrained world, would understand. I---I have forgotten."
"Then tell me, how I must hold the flint, and where must I press with a bit of deer horn that the chips shall fly small and even, so that the knife will be sharp and kill my prey for me? And how shall I rub and wash and treat the wood of the bow, or the skin of the slain animal that I may have a coat that will not be stiff, but soft and pliable?"
"Those, too, I have forgotten. Those are unnecessary things. I cannot help you, savage. I would greet you, and show you the relics of our deserted past in museums. I might conduct you through ancient caves, where mighty rock walls defended my ancestors against the wild things they could not control.
"Yes, Ron Thule. I have forgotten the development."
"Once"---Ron Thule's voice was tense---"the city builder made atomic generators to release the energy bound in that violent twist of space called an atom. He made the sorgan to distribute its power to his clumsy shells of metal and crystal---the caves that protected him from the wild things of space.
"Seun has forgotten the atom; he thinks in terms of space. The powers of space are at his direct command. He created the crystal that brought us here from the energy of space, because it made easy a task his mind alone could have done. It was no more needful than is an adding machine. His people have no ships; they are anywhere in space they will without such things. Seun is not a decadent son of the city builders. His people never forgot the dream that built the city. But it was a dream of childhood, and his people were children then. Like a child with his broomstick horse, the mind alone was not enough for thought; the city builders, just as ourselves, needed something of a solid metal and crystal, to make their dreams tangible."

Costs of cash transaction vs. cashless transactions are discussed here: http://www.riksbank.se/Documen...
tl;dr version: cash isn't free
The mythical "they" isn't going after Bitcoin because it's Bitcoin. They are going after entities who have happened to have been doing transactions in Bitcoin because those entities thing Bitcoin has magical law-repellent properties, and the mythical "they" haven't really been going after them disproportionately.
"why they're doing this"
This menacing "they" is not taking any particular action in this scenario.
If a government *actually* wanted to force all transactions to be cashless, they would stop printing cash.

You seem to be confused about which side is taking a lot of money to fudge the data.
If string theory is untestable in principle, how do you explain the existence of tests?
They start with the premise that string theory is untestable, and come to the conclusion that it is untestable.
Science is all models, so if it is a theoretical physics model then it is science.
