A literal liberal, that is someone who wants free markets amd private property as derived from the non-aggression principle and the absolute right to oneself, yes, obviously.
Socialist progressives, who believe the State is a morally legitimate economic and social actor with the role to "redistribute" private property and "provide public services", not so much.
If they want to fool themselves either believing they are leftists while supporting an inherently anti-State technology, or by believing they can turn Bitcoin into a pro-State technology, that entirely a "they" problem, not a Bitcoin problem or a liberalism problem.
Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for writing it for me!
If you think the American Red Team are pro-freedom and the American Blue Team are anti-freedom you may want to get checked for brain worms. Neither is even remotely close to that consistent and both are pro- or anti-freedom on various specific issues. Bitcoin can absolutely speak to both of the American partisan teams depending on which features and groups of people you focus on.
I think the one who needs severe brain deworming must be you, because they worms are making you see and read stuff that I didn't made the slightest mention of, such as US partisan politics. I recommend a generous splash of bleach with your regular meals.
Go reread the op :)
Go read what I said, and what I replied to.
You should settle this over a beer. 🍻
