The basic problem is that Leftist thought leaders -- for example the economist Paul Krugman -- have been telling their audience now for 15 years that "bitcoin is a scam". The issue is that in order to change their minds, these thought leaders would have to say "Hey, I was wrong, and also -- oops -- my advice cost you, my audience member, literally millions of dollars.".... This is why progress will be slow with progressives... it will basically take a new generation of progressive thought leaders to make this transition possible....

I totally agree with you! It’s a big gap for leftists. The language they keep hearing over and over is just so polarizing. I’m frankly sick of it! I only recently intentionally started talking about crypto out loud with my family members and friends. The language around crypto still speaks only to very few.
Wake up. And by that what I think I mean is let’s figure out a way to have a more approachable conversation. At times it feels like Gen X on crack in the crypto space.🪐
This exactly.
Lefties are unable to admit they were wrong, which makes it really difficult to learn new things.
