It's one of the asset's greatest assets. But, increasingly, I find myself in a lonely place with the political side of the conversation. The values I took as central to Bitcoin have been adopted (and in some instances, co-opted) by political figures I find little in common with, philosophically. I've had key Bitcoiners tell me they're single-issue voters (Bitcoin-only) and thus they've disconnected all other politics from the conversation; I can't seem todo that. I'm concerned that, in politics, the wrong people have been the first to make the right decision. What's more, many of these figures who have embraced Bitcoin strike me as disingenuous. That is, being pro-Bitcoin is a means to their own ends. This isn't wholly good or bad, and the reverse would be an equally mixed bag in different ways. "Fix the money, fix the world" is pithy, but an exaggeration, and I wrestle with the current menu: Support the Bitcoin-positive politicians I don't agree with, or support the politicians I align more with and hope they see the orange light. Whichever path is best, the current situation feels isolating to me.
