There is zero doubt in my mind that bitcoin was created by a libertarian or anarchist that understood free market capitalism and specifically Austrian economics. If you've read the white paper and understand these ideologies it is obvious. The idea that bitcoin's success is dependent on convincing people to accept these ideologies is deeply flawed. Most people are not interested in even attempting to learn more in these areas. In this article you can see the author's priority for not being in the out group. If we have to move the masses to become freedom minded and more importantly freedom oriented bitcoin will never win. Thankfully that isn't how the world works. Most people are completely intellectually inconsistent. Put simply, they act in their self interest often against their own stated beliefs. Most people are self contradictory and their egos will not allow them to see this.
Don't kid yourself though. Bitcoin is a threat to the state and its power. This include both clown parties. Both want to control the beast. Left and right politicians should hate it and try to stop bitcoin. This fact should wake up those that vote for these clowns but it won't. Bitcoin will win regardless because it works. The masses will use it because it works even though they don't understand why or how. I say this because this is the way it has always been. The masses don't understand the world around them. If we had to convince the masses by explaining how everything worked we would not have most of the tech we have.
For the bitcoin maxis I would say you be you. Seek to learn for yourself. Speak when you think you should. Be kind, don't be nice. Speak the truth but be true and real. The answer is not to water yourself down. We don't need to moderate to make bitcoin more "appealing". We bitcoiners need to know the tools, why they work, how they work and be ready to teach others that are open to learning. Also, we don't have to orange pill everyone. We need to target those that want to learn. The curious. Those that want freedom and autonomy. But really, being toxic isn't appealing. Be joyful and successful. It is contagious. Be someone that others want to emulate.
