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.

Just agree with what you said. Holding Bitcoin isn't just about investing, it's much bigger than that. By holding Bitcoin, it means that we have participated in building a decentralized financial ecosystem, which is free of intervention, anonymous, and empowers all users in it. A system which will disrupt the current traditional financial system and make it irrelevant, which will force them to innovate and abandon their old ways of manipulating people to follow what they want. This is a financial freedom which we all want and the government is afraid of it. And that's why I keep encouraging others to get into this circle and follow in our footsteps as Bitcoin militants.
