Wait, what? How does bitcoin solve the problem of tyranny and authoritarianism? Just look at the number of bitcoiners who are lining up to vote for the most dangerous, fascistic leader in our lifetime. Bitcoin doesn't negate the human impulses, and self-deceptions that allow democracy to fall, and tyranny to rise in its place.

No matter which way you vote, in the end Bitcoin will ensure that we no longer have the tyranny of a currency monopoly. If nobody has a monopoly on “printing money” anymore, insane politicians who only finance themselves with soft money can no longer be financed. Suddenly money becomes relevant again as a vote, your purchasing decision, which was previously diluted by printing money, suddenly has weight again.
Money is a huge leverage point for the government to use to manipulate the populace. I agree this doesn't "solve" tyranny in large, but does take one piece out of the equation, money.
Next is censorship and government approved speech. Nostr takes this piece out of the equation, free speach.
Lastly is taking away ones ability to defend themselves but 3D printed guns and ghost guns takes this piece out of the equation, right to bear arms.
That being said tyranny is still not solved but it is kept in better check than before these technologies. To your point though, hopefully not that many bitcoiners are voting for Harris.
