I hate these "why cant bitcoin be progressive?" thinkpieces. If it is true that bitcoin's social layer ranges from conservative to batshit heroin-in-vending-machines libertarian, it is a forgone conclusion that the majority of people enriched by bitcoin are your new free market extremist overlords. And the majority of them aren't selling.

Hand-wringing about the political landscape of the hodlers of the remaining two million bitcoin is sort of silly, innit?

Progressives getting involved in Bitcoin is how you end up with shit like Ethereum.

Also, Bitcoin only works because of it's rigid adherence to the principles of classical economics which are antithetical to progressives.
