I’m fully accepting that far left-groups, many of whom are my friends, will be some of the last people to “get” or be willing to accept the reality that #Bitcoin is here and not going anywhere.
Often times I find they have a cognitive dissonance that allows them to decide, on behalf of the world, that something is bad when in fact…it’s not. This is often due to their leaders and mentors speaking against Bitcoin, faulty data, or some sort of ideological dismissal based on some of Bitcoin’s loudest proponents. I would also argue many that have found a “home” in bitcoin’s “community” did so not based on principles and the fundamentals of Bitcoin, but rather some of it’s louder right wing and libertarian culture. You see this because many who I saw giving lifestyle maximalism arguments two years ago have already come and gone, and are evangelizing for other crypto projects now.
But, back to the left When presenting how Bitcoin is the antithesis to authoritarian governments and failings/predatory and exclusive nature of central banks, there isn’t an argument to stand on that THAT is better than Bitcoin. It’s not.
And entry to some from the far left to Bitcoin may actually (don’t shoot the messenger) be crypto. They may feel a sense of community they agree with in another crypto project, or a fundraising effort, etc., but then describing how xyz crypto project is actually not as decentralized as they may think, or secure, or its monetary properties are actually far less-superior to Bitcoin
I just think all roads lead to Bitcoin, in the end. Or at least I’m willing to have that debate. I believe Bitcoin is going to consume the world, and I’d like everyone to understand and be as prepared as possible for this*
*these thoughts were provoked from petermccormack (npub14mc…frlx) and dannyknowles (npub16le…ffxj) frequently thinking through how bitcoin may grow more adversaries as it grows across the world, and as people feel left out or not “early adopters”
