Do you think that if the Left was more aligned with the Democratic platforms of the 70s-2010 that you might have better luck convincing them that bitcoin circumvents the power of a large government / corporate machine oppressing the freedoms of the individual?

Soon after Occupy Wall Street, it feels like the Left aligned itself with a “govern me harder” platform vs. the previous focus of policies that prioritized the individual over the corporation.

Through the prior lens, pockets of Democrats might have been among the first groups to “get” bitcoin (i.e. Rage Against the Machine). However, now that the D platform aligns with a government / state-aligned corporation … a threat to centralized control is counter to the Left’s current priorities.
