Political? Maybe in the sense that there will always be "politics" involved in anything that includes a group of people, and that's true whether you're talking about a government or an office. But I'd call Bitcoin a politically neutral technology in the sense that it doesn't really care about who uses it. Libertarian free market supporters like it because it can be used to get around regulation and dodge the morality police to a certain degree. I could even see left-wingers, the ones who genuinely care about things like civil rights and equality rather than just using those terms like stone clubs to get their way anyhow, liking it because Bitcoin does not care about race, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin. If people have manipulated it for their own profit, they're usually the big players who have something to gain by creating chaos.
