Liberal here 🙋‍♂️… been called a statist plenty of times. What you describe is what I like about Bitcoin and nostr, too. Protocols should be application (and content) agnostic. And yet if I had a Satoshi for every time someone has told me, in so many words, “Bitcoin isn’t FOR you, lib” … seems like there are still plenty in the space who don’t grasp what you just articulated.

Kinda depends on what "liberal" means. If modern liberals were as they were in the 90's, I'd be one of them. That's not even all the way back to classic liberal, but close enough. Modern liberals, though, are not critical thinkers, and their efforts have destroyed too many lives.
