There was a kind of libertarianism that shows increased rates of bitcoin ownership. Also self-identified libertarians were more likely to own it (still not very likely tho). But no relation on the right left scale or Dem-Republican.

The left/right scale isn’t really a coherent continuous scale that maps to reality. It’s two or more dimensions of various views mapped into one dimension, expressed as the bifurcation topics of the day. “The left” and “the right” are actually two incoherent mega parties where elements switch sides to reform constantly. Blue collar worker interests were apart of “the left” for decades and they have been in the process of resorting into “the right” over the past decade.

The terms left and right come from the two sides of the room during sessions where the monarchy would hold court.

It’s not a good framework for understanding the distribution modern political leanings. What you should do instead is take modern political distribution surveys that recognize this and add one question to the end about Bitcoin ownership. Capture basic demographics age, race, sex, etc Stand outside a dmv or hospital in the locality you want to represent and administer the survey. Then rescale the results to match the demographics of the locality you want to represent incase you over or under sampled anyone.
