I saw a post made by someone in which he told his story about his investment in Bitcoin and how it helped him go through the financially challenging times that the COVID-19 pandemic brought. A good, heart-warming  story by a fellow Bitcoiner, BUT we shouldn't forget that simply HODLing/owning Bitcoin could also be a kind of political movement, because its features could make Bitcoin weaken or break down political strongholds.

It might be premature to call it a revolutionary movement, but what were the motivations of the early cypherpunks when they were building their tools? Satoshi's message in the Genesis Block is also political.

 Cool

Its not political, its financial. The whole genesis block talked about the banks being bailed out, exactly what is happening today! When politics are involved this is when you get mixed messages. Everything political today is now "fake news" news has been bought out, you can't buy out bitcoin though! Bitcoin is everything but political its a system designed to take politics out of the money picture, bitcoin is just pure potential IMO!
