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
