 You're just a special kind of stupid 
 I realize you may see “progressive” and want to scream.

I may not be the “progressive” you imagine, because bitcoin ushers in a new era. Scream at me all you want, but I’m on team bitcoin and better world for humanity.  I don’t think that’s stupid 🤙🏻 
 Someone asked Jeff Booth the worst thing about bitcoin we must accept. His reply was something in regards to how someone who dislike or don’t agree with Will own bitcoin, you have to accept that and accept that everyone who owns it benefits everyone else regardless of world view. 
 We don’t use the word, but Bitcoiners strongly disliking the IMF, World Bank, Fed, CFA, UN, Cantillon effect beneficiaries, fiat finance, authoritarianism, financial abuse of the developing world, US hegemony and interventionism et al. are expressing a political opinion that it’d totally be reasonable to call “Progressive” – against inequity, exploitation, colonialism, repression, injustice. It’s just that those from a Libertarian background don’t use that vocabulary and are conditioned to dislike those who do because it often comes packaged with non-voluntarist/statist socialism.

Bitcoin and the Occupy movement had an affinity for each-other because of this common ground - the progressive aspect of Bitcoin is undeniable
