Progressive Bitcoiner is an oxymoron.
Progressive (communist) ideas are antithetical to the standards and principles of Bitcoin.
Push your politics somewhere else.
What podcast of yours should I listen to if I am currently of the belief that progressive ideology is weak and unprincipled.......I'm open to having my mind changed, but tbh I've never met a progressive that seemed to be operating from first principles......maybe because that would be a Communist? Idk
Stop focusing on the word “progressive” and listen any episode as a human without preconceived notions. I don’t give a fuck about politics, I care about people, and these people are doing good work. Period.
You can listen to mine.

Nostr nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a was on a few months ago. If you’re dismissing a show because of its title or the fact that it’s going after a new audience that hasn’t studied bitcoin yet, you’re missing a big part of the story.
I'm not dismissing the show's importancea at all. I do believe bitcoin is for anyone. I'm questioning the consitancy of the ideology of "progressiveism". I listened to one of this shows episodes and left even more confused about what it is to be progressive.
That’s because it’s not a simple answer, as there is no single ideology, and there’s a lot of argument about what to stand for, and not just what to stand against. I think that’s just the nature of a term that tries to encompass a wide swath of people who come from so many different backgrounds. If you listen to the show you’ll often hear guests talk about trying to define or redefine the word.
Thanks for the explanation, this makes sense to me.
People who identify with progressivism tend to genuinely care about helping others and improving human rights, living, and working conditions.
They don’t like to see wealthy and powerful people and corporations bending the rules in their favor. They oppose economic, racial, and gender discrimination and are advocates of a variety of social issues.
Many favor stronger government intervention to achieve these goals, which I think is what libertarians take the biggest issue with.
They also tend to have a misguided understanding of how money works, especially with respect to central banking and inflation, and usually assign blame for rising costs squarely on corporate greed as opposed to money printing.
One of the goals of this podcast is to help explain this in a way that doesn’t alienate people who identify as liberals and progressives and show them why and how bitcoin also speaks to their values.
By the way, conservatives, especially in the US, are also big fans of government power, except they prefer to wield it against the same types of people progressives want to help.
Will do!
I'm focusing on the word "progressive" because thats the chosen name of the podcast and I genuinely don't understand what it refers to.
I don't give a fuck about politics eirher....chill. I care about ideas, and if these people have good ideas then I'm looking forward to hearing what they have to say.
