Bitcoin is first and foremost a political and cultural movement to separate money and state. The technology is the necessary enabler. Without the culture, the technology cannot guarantee or preserve Bitcoin’s decentralization or sound money principles.

I respectfully disagree. Any technology is a product of a specific sub-culture or civilization, but after being invented it gains its own life, independent from the intentions and purpose of its inventors.
Fair point. Bcashers and eth heads, being their own sub-cultures spun off and now have their own tech.
