That's provocative but simplistic and not true. Bitcoin is money. With a specific set of characteristics that differentiates it from other money. But these characteristics are not connected to capitalism or any other economic philosophy/system.
Communism can be summoned up in ONE sentence according To Marx: ”The abolishment of private property”… what is #Bitcoin IF NOT the ultimate PRIVATE property?!? Bitcoin is 180 degrees from leftism, progressivism🤷

You can be a "progressive" and believe that inflation steals purchasing power from the middle/working class and gives it to the cantillionaires, therefore making Bitcoin a fair monetary system for everyone. Dont conflate "progressive" with communist.
there are many more economic systems and philosophies than capitalism and communism. And there is no axiomic overlap of progressive social or political views with the economic system of communism. Just because bitcoin's characteristics do not fit with communism a) does not logically infer that it's characteristics are therefore best fitting with capitalism and b) it cannot align wth a social or political progressive world view which can exist completely independent from the desire to adhere to a communistic economic system.
Amazing study. Be nice to follow up on high/low time preference correlation. Wouldn't be surprised that Bitcoin hodlers correlate well with endurace sports, healthier diets, reading habits, meditation and such...

💯 This one is also telling. image
Very liberal and very conservative come together at the other end.
socialists don't believe in private property. so they stay away from bitcoin 🤷‍♂️ idk, just a guess
another lie from the father of lies, gladstein maybe tell us also how we should be supporting stablecoins instead of bitcoin

yeah its weird, the market is the thing that brings divergent groups together. That doesnt mean religion or politics is unimportant but it oddly means that most self interested behavoir that also respects others is found by practice in the operation of the market and that is the place where for the most part value is created and transacted.
Save this image somewhere you can find it easily when you need to show someone bitcoin isn't a "Trump thing" or whatever
