We live in a world that is increasingly devoid of nuance. Despite what loud internet people might say, progressives are not Socialists, Marxists, or Communists and do not require "big government" to implement solutions.

"Progressivism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to advance the human condition through social reform – primarily based on purported advancements in social organization, science, and technology."

Bitcoin is the social reform that will advance science, technology and the way we organize.

I am not a democrat, republican, libertarian or anarcho-capitalist. I am a bitcoiner.

Many, many bitcoiners still to this day say “you can’t be progressive and be a bitcoiner.”

Honestly, I can agree in part while also mainly disagreeing.

Many progressives that learn about bitcoin adjust their worldview and solutions a bit. But the value set doesn’t change, just the means to get to the end.

I, and many progressives, find out how deficit spending, MMT, and ineffective climate protests with no solutions won’t bring about the change we want and often make things worse.

Bitcoin is an incredible tool that progressives will find is incredibly powerful for marginalized communities that have been discriminated against by Wall Street and the big banks, working class folks with no solution to financial sustainability in retirement, as a solution to profitable expansion or renewables and cleaning up otherwise wasted and flared gas, human rights use cases around the world, money for protestors and activists and beyond.

Bitcoin is changing hearts and minds for progressives that are open to it, and who have come to the realization that politicians and our government is not here to save us. But, we can reign in their power and influence, while the game theory plays out and some of these progressive politicians pivot to the will of the people.

I will do my damndest to help progressives see the hope and potential in Bitcoin, because it’s not enough for just Donald Trump and Republican bitcoiners to praise the technology. That would be a shame if it continues to grow more partisan.
