I agree with everything you said. I also agree with the article in that btc has a skewed right-wing label to it, as it on a superficial level or at first glance may seem more appealing to someone on the ideological right. Ironically, I think those on center / left - even those pretty far out on the left - will be appealed even more by what it’s actually about when they understand it. Status quo conservatives - particularly those who’re the biggest beneficiaries of the the current system & who’ve picked their political side strictly based on convenience - I think may even retract some of their initial enthusiasm once they truly understand btc. Time will tell - but I’m completely with you on the point that left/right labeling is not very helpful. The “progressive” part of the label I think just helps sweeten the saltier taste of bitcoin at first glance for those still viewing the world with fiat eyes - which is why I believe that name is effective. /P
