Many of us came to #Bitcoin because of this new system's potential to (re)distribute power.
Ideas from political philosophies such as #Libertarianism and #Anarchy permeated much of the early discours...
Listening now, really interesting...
What strikes me is something Vinay Gupta said a long time ago, which is that Bitcoin can't be divorced from a political ideology or philosophy.
The error I think is that a lot of "apolitical" people, who really were culturally aligned with the Right, got into to Bitcoin... Then were sort of "radicalized" by the events of the early 2020's into joining a political coalition with Trump.
And now they (hopefully) realize that they got played for Chumps.
This is I value libertarianism as a political compass: I know better than to align with either "side", because it always, always comes back to bite you in the ass.
