As a progressive you’ll see me critical of some bullshit right-wing shenanigans I’ve seen in the Bitcoin community from prominent bitcoiners.

BUT, I’ve also had so many incredible interactions, online and in-person, with many right leaning bitcoiners who have been gracious, kind, and super supportive, with the simple message “bitcoin is for all.” Proud to fight alongside you all for that 🧡

Totally agree with you. There’s some outlandish things that some Bitcoiners say, but I’m glad that it’s not just another thing for one “tribe” vs. the other. If it’s going to serve as the global base settlement layer, it has to be truly ideology agnostic.

That being said, I’m not sure that the association with strong libertarian views is a net positive for promoting broader adoption. You shouldn’t have to be anti-government to be a strong believer in Bitcoin

True. What’s great about bitcoin is it can appeal to every individual for wildly different reasons. The conflating “bitcoin is __________ political ideology” is not going to get us anywhere. What someone is saying in that case is that if someone doesn’t follow their political/world view they don’t want them to have bitcoin. But clickbait is pretty easy to read out in my opinion.
