Bitcoin politics

I'm still amazed Bitcoin attracts both the far-left and the far-right, both the enemies of free speech and the rural resisters who hate Silicon Valley's technological overlordship.

Sadly, these polar opposites don't mix. And if, as we've seen with DeFi, we are going to live with "protocol politicians" to help guide our behaviors, Bitcoin is at risk of being hijacked by the likes of Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO and King of Censorship.

You can't mix freedom-of-money advocacy with freedom-from-money advocacy.

I wonder how Dorsey will prevent "people he doesn't like" from using cryptocurrencies. Probably block our bank accounts.
