I want to bump this very old topic here on BCT due to relevance.

I'm reading the old posts around here. There are interesting libertarian topics like Tom Woods talks, anarcho-capitalism discussions, etc. Most topics which don't seem to exist anymore but were initially the backbone of the crypto world.

I truly don't understand why leftists would want to support a new system that is literally the opposite of everything they believe in. Hell, I see crypto twitter going on about sjw bullshit. It's quite amusing to me.

Crypto is wholly antithetical to all leftist values.

Unregulated. True freedom from Keynesian economics and debt-based welfare, leeching economy. Privacy from govt oversight. The possibility to not pay taxes. Middle finger to the media and mainstream. Middle finger to the state and the very system that leftists suck cock about everyday.

Summed up: being able to make your own financial decisions without a gun to your head; true economic freedom

Perhaps leftists just like the idea of convenient online transactions and haven't thought much about anything else. Regardless, do you realize you're supporting a system that is antithetical to your most strongly held convictions?

Or perhaps this is something that will be perverted as more leftists enter. I do see many people crying for regulation from daddy government.

Thoughts?
