...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.

In this forum there is little left for Bitcoin to be political. In its origins it was a libertarian movement while you see today a lot of people on the forum advocating more state and more socialism, while at the same time a use of Bitcoin with maximum privacy, which is paradoxical to say the least.
Socialist and communist ideologies do not like Bitcoin because they cannot control it, someone who believes that individuals and not states are the best guarantors of rights and freedoms does like Bitcoin precisely because it escapes state control.
