I am a Hero of Bitcoin, I have been on this forum for almost 3 years, with an older account that I lost before creating this one. In my 3 years of Bitcoin journey I have seen a dramatic shift in the demographics and the political ideology of bitcoin users, and this worries me a lot.

3 years ago this forum used to be very libertarian with tons of good people around here promoting personal and financial freedom ideas, many of these old people are not even active anymore or rarely come online. It was the core of bitcoin users, probably early whales, but also very inspirational people.

Now in since 2014, but definitely since 2015, I have observed the increasing number of leftists on this forum posting nonsense and trying to hijack bitcoin. Now there are 2 kinds of leftist: the trendy leftist & the activist leftist. The trendy one is probably just interested in the technology, and the social aspect, this is ok.

The one I find dangerous is the activist leftist. They are essentially trying to make bitcoin a socialist/communist system through installing a democracy to govern it.

And this can be seen with the whole 2mb block debate (used to be 8mb and so on), but also I've seen several people agreeing to modifying the 21 million limit ,essentially creating a fiat money system to "redistribute wealth". I am not making this up, this is really this bad, these people are literally thiefs, leftists love to shoplift for example, and not just love it, but they actually ideologically promote it. Now I wonder what kind of ideology these bitcoin scammers have, I bet most of them are leftists too.

So we are being invaded by hordes of thieves, and their activism is stronger and stronger, look how many people cry out for banning Theymos or censoring posts on /r/btc subreddit that call them out on their BS.

The left loves censorship & propaganda.

What is next? Installing a Pension System into the bitcoin protocol? Automatic wealth redistribution? They would want it all if they could get away with it.

So if you are a wealthy bitcoin holder, you are a primary victim of this. I am not wealthy but I don't want bitcoin to fall into a leftist hellhole because then it will be guaranteed destroyed.

If you hold a lot of coins, this should concern you a lot, the more dumb people come into Bitcoin, the easier is to setup a Democracy, where obviously the majority will outvote you, and your money will get confiscated by them.

So after seeing all the stupid people rush into Bitcoin in the past 2 years, this became very concerning to me, and I fear this is a fundamental risk of bitcoin that nobody talks about.

The left is always cunning and manipulative and their power is in their numbers, they want you to believe that they are your friends but they are not, they just want to steal your money.

Bitcoin should stay ungoverned, but the more leftist join us, the more easy it will be to install a leftist democratic governance on Bitcoin.

Democracy is the worst thing that can happen to Bitcoin, that will be the end of Bitcoin

So if you have a lot of coins, don't just hold, promote liberty ideas, educate people on money and economics and stop the leftist hordes.

By leftists you mean socialists,i guess.

Perhaps 90% of all bitcoin users are poor people,and the poor people are mostly socialists.

This isn`t something bad.Everyone has it`s own opinion and it`s own ideas.
