I think it's actually rather sad. I think there is a good chance that these in my opinion very important technologies will get a bad reputation because of this.

  You mean like the bad reputation that has been established for ages that decentralized technologies are "only good for" piracy, CP, etc.?

    Same with encryption, no? Also, you forgot to mention terrorism.

      Of course this is highly subject, but I think that the view of the general public is generally favorable towards encryption (as it also provides privacy), and governments/law enforcement agencies have again more recently tried to paint it in a bad light. I think the jury is still out whether that is successful, and the public will adapt that opinion too.
