Lyn, I generally agree with the idea that shared principles can foster unity and tolerance, and the Bitcoin community exemplifies this well. However, it does seem that many in the Bitcoin community, at least in the United States, are increasingly trying to politicize Bitcoin and fit it within the arena of US political football. My concern is that the core message and purpose of Bitcoin may become subordinated to some individuals’ political ambitions and values. This isn’t unique to Bitcoin; we’ve seen similar trends with other technologies and movements (e.g., social media, renewable energy, etc)
So… I’d like to understand how can we ensure that the foundational principles of Bitcoin remain intact and not overshadowed by political agendas?
