 If bitcoin depends on ideology then its fucked. 
 #Bitcoin IS pure capitalism, which is not ”an ideologi”; it is a system for cooperation based on the RESPECT for the individual’s god given right to keep the fruits of his work, his right to possessions and his right to freely exchange goods and services with other free individual and organisations. And these god given rights have become so ”controversial” so they have become highly political. 
But that is only because we’ve been brainwashed to think it is normal for a ”free man” to pay half of what you earn into a black hole of buraucracy. #Bitcoin has the properties to fix this. 
 Sure but if it depends on the ranting of ideologues then it will fail. Which is a point the OP seems to me making. Bitcoin depends on game theory, incentives and network effects. Not ideology. 
 It will do what it does, and it is in line with the very natural but complex adaptive system that is capitalism🤷 
Communists can go fuck themselves, that is what I think 😅 
 The person you are replying to is a perfect example of a Bitcoin Cult member. An example of Brainwashing; a sample. A specimen. VERY SAD!
