Replying to Avatar Trey Walsh

Many, many bitcoiners still to this day say “you can’t be progressive and be a bitcoiner.”

Honestly, I can agree in part while also mainly disagreeing.

Many progressives that learn about bitcoin adjust their worldview and solutions a bit. But the value set doesn’t change, just the means to get to the end.

I, and many progressives, find out how deficit spending, MMT, and ineffective climate protests with no solutions won’t bring about the change we want and often make things worse.

Bitcoin is an incredible tool that progressives will find is incredibly powerful for marginalized communities that have been discriminated against by Wall Street and the big banks, working class folks with no solution to financial sustainability in retirement, as a solution to profitable expansion or renewables and cleaning up otherwise wasted and flared gas, human rights use cases around the world, money for protestors and activists and beyond.

Bitcoin is changing hearts and minds for progressives that are open to it, and who have come to the realization that politicians and our government is not here to save us. But, we can reign in their power and influence, while the game theory plays out and some of these progressive politicians pivot to the will of the people.

I will do my damndest to help progressives see the hope and potential in Bitcoin, because it’s not enough for just Donald Trump and Republican bitcoiners to praise the technology. That would be a shame if it continues to grow more partisan.

theres a large gap in understanding of economics and the internet in progressive circles and an unwillingness to dive deep. the fascist libertarians who advocate for weaponizing the state to uphold property rights and the freedom to hire a wage slave dont help in bridging that gap or attracting many progressives to bitcoin.

Marx would have been pro bitcoin af and seen it as a global public bank that could dissolve the nation state and guarantee everyone's ultimate sovereignty. I want to use Nostr to bridge this understanding for my commie friends. its hard because the corporate media and capitalists in the government keep the scope of possibilities out of the forefronts of the minds of the masses. we have to deploy a big popular education campaign to have a chance at empowering the public with this kind of knowlege.
