Great question, I have a hard time understanding how anyone could both actually understand the benefits of bitcoin and also be pro big gov. But that is probably my own mental biases as I tend to first approach things from a philosophical / ideological basis, then later decide if I like said thing....
If anyone is pro bitcoin and pro big gov, then it's likely because they have some view of the world that the wrong people are currently in charge and if only the right people were put in charge, that would solve our problems.
But I think that perspective fails to understand that power itself corrupts. Even if you put well-meaning people into positions of power, a significant fraction of those people will become corrupted.
that the wrong people are currently in charge and if only the right people were put in charge, that would solve our problems.
interesting version of it. Not sure that's what I'm getting from e.g., Jason Maier
ah, i didn't have anyone specific in mind. maybe just a caricature of the kind of leftists who hates the "banks" and the "establishment", but imagine a utopian government led by comrades and fellow travelers
So the age-old question, do leftists who find bitcoin become libertarian in time (=my prediction) or do they turn bitcoin into woke fest (what ostensibly seems to happen)??
