Well, decentralisation is very political. No one can convince me otherwise.

My point is that bitcoin introduces a new dimension, and thinking about it in terms of left and right is outdated. The rules are being rewritten and the landscape being transformed.
It is NOT postpolitical, but it is a paradigm shift for sure.
Post- any kind of what people think is "politics" that we have right now though. Its all just kayfabe.
I think the term apolitical is quite helpful because bitcoin doesn't have identity/kyc baked in, but as it continues to gain momentum, there will be an increasing number of VERY political moments, for example:
-wikileaks donation platform
-numerous US administrations denouncing
-persecution of Ross Ulbricht
-China mining ban
-el Salvador resisting IMF et al
-Canada trucker convoy
-Ukraine soliciting for conflict
-Bhutan mining on the sly
-Even the ESG stuff so far is only the tip of an iceberg of what could come
I would agree that left and right labels are fairly useless at this point but global level grinding between USD vs BRICS systems/politics is much more useful to bear in mind
