Bitcoin is apolitical.
Bitcoin is political in the sense that EVERYTHING is political, or can be made into a political issue. And, it will absolutely disrupt the current political system.
But money should not be political, and fiat inherently is, just like religion should not be political, but the church inherently used to be (before separation of church and state).
Religion is apolitical, but separation of church and state was probably considered highly political.
Money is apolitical, but separation of money and state is highly political.
Bitcoin is raw mathematical information. It’s a simple ledger of “who owns what”. It is certainly a societal force, but it is not inherently political.
The fact that bitcoin is apolitical is exactly why it needs to and will win.
