You would think Bitcoin would open peoples minds, but I don't believe so. It causes the same behavior that regular fiat does. It amplifies the person you already are. I think what you are seeing is actually just Bitcoin attracting people who's intent was to change in the first place, because they want the world to change.

I have seen several Bitcoiners say they have adopted the same mentality of improvement and then double down on their biases political narratives. These people don't intend to change themselves beyond the marketing of it but do intend to change the world. But not in a way that benefits humanity.
