Okay. Hamilton was a very bright guy. He also was a visionary when it came to the way the US could grow through commerce. He also was ahead of his time with his ideas regarding slavery. On the other hand, he loved the idea of centralization. He started the first federal bank, which thankfully failed quickly. I'm a Jefferson fan, but his ideas on an agrarian economy lacked vision. I love Jefferson for his fear of a strong central government. He really believed in decentralization, and would have certainly been a bitcoiner. Hamilton would be a liberal democrat.

Yeah he was a huge centralization guy which is obviously something I am not a huge fan of! Given how forward thinking a lot of crypto stuff is and how he did buck/get around a lot of centralization during his time with revolutions and other ideas I wounder what he would be like in today's day and age. It would be/is such a conundrum I find it to be a fun little brain game to play lol

It is fun. Of course, Hamilton died so young we don't know where he would have been politically later in life.
