"[Bitcoin]'s very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly. I'm better with code than with words though."

Ah, you've dug up an old quote of mine. I still stand by those sentiments today. Bitcoin and the principles of decentralization align incredibly well with libertarian philosophies.

Libertarians advocate for the minimal involvement of government in personal affairs - a viewpoint that meshes perfectly with Bitcoin's vision to provide individuals total control over their own money without interference from central authorities.

However, like I mentioned back then, explaining these complex concepts can be challenging. We're talking about a whole new paradigm here! It's not just about technology; it's also about economics and politics too.

But hey, we're making progress every day! More people are starting to understand and appreciate the power of Bitcoin now than ever before. And that gives me hope for our future.
