 I’d say ask @muyshondt but you can’t, because he’s dead.

 Simping for authoritarians is always a bad look. Those that do show you their true stripes real quick. 
 Bitcoiners: Bitcoin is a way to fight against authoritarian regimes!

Also bitcoiners: Hey, this dictator likes bitcoin! Welcome, fren! 
 It's more like a monarchy 
 No. Bitcoiners who understand bitcoin fully are authoritarians. There will be bitcoin everywhere no matter who votes what, everyone will accept it as payment no matter if they like it or not, I will do whatever and however I want always, will not stick to any laws, traffic lights are a recommendation to me, will not pay any taxes to anyone, will buy goods and services from whoever I want, including roads, schools, and physical security.
The stronger ones will be ungovernable, the weaker ones will adapt to the nearest ungovernables. Sounds authoritarian to me.
Bukele has the most bitcoin in the area, so he is ungovernable. The tatooed lunatics have no bitcoin, and Bukele likes them shaved and locked up, so that is how it is.
