See there's the problem. Libertarians are not right wing. Yet you seem to perceive it that way. The Overton window has shifted so far to the left that the center is now considered the right. Liberal is in the word libertarian. Because we believe in basic concepts of liberty.
Bitcoin does not care.
People however use bitcoin and people care. A lot of misinformed progressives think that bitcoin boils oceans and drains swimming pools and they may not listen to a righty telling them otherwise.
Let's give a hypothetical example:
Elizabeth Warren quotes nonsense about bitcoin transactions draining swimming pools, and there is a group of "progressives" that believe this nonsense.
If you want these progressives to know the truth who do you think would be more fitting to convince them? nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak or nostr:npub13lkyycj8s3da6fhndtj0wd6s3s2ahmq86s7wrruvzd4tnc66cgfqn4lpsy?
I am not trying to criticize anybody's standpoints or environmental viewpoints here, I'm merely pointing out that if you want more people into bitcoin you need all different types of people involved to help move things forward.
Discussion
I did not say that. I said bitcoiners right now tend to be Libertarian or right wing. I did not say right wing and libertarian are one in the same.
Currently in politics it's "left wing vs right wing". In my view libertarian's are separate from these two as an apolitical stance, especially since they don't really have any influence in North American politics. I know that sounds a little odd because why would a libertarian get involved but their influence over policy making could bring some much needed perspective over the nonsense that is going on right now.
My mistake. I thought you had conflated the two. It's been more of an issue as of late.
