I think Bitcoiners are one part of a deeper 21st century liberal movement and not at all at the center of it. I might say a lot of us in the Bitcoin community are disconnected from what's really going on because we are distracted by people identifying as cartoons online and suited moonbois pretending to care about freedom.
Discussion
Given a choice between two people:
1) Someone who is a Bitcoin maximalist and is supportive of welfare spending, taxation, govt spending and socialism
2) Someone who is a Bitcoin critic/skeptic but is supportive of free speech, free enterprise, free market capitalism and against govt interference in the economy
I'd consider the latter as more of an ally
The only thing that can stop Bitcoin is progressivism.
We like to pretend to be above the ideological fray, but progressivism is a deadly, host-killing parasite that doesn't care how much we don't care about politics.
Bitcoin is for everyone, yes, but we must be mindful and vigilant; like a parent watching their child on a busy playground.
The word I'd use to describe progressivism is 'Socialism'
The battle in the coming years will be between Socialism and Liberty in my opinion
We need to be on the side of the letter to protect our Bitcoin from being stolen by the government by force
