I can’t say I’ve ever seen fascists pushing Bitcoins, but then again I don’t frequent those spaces. I struggle to see how they are ideologically similar though. Doesn’t seem like a very authoritarian concept
And can we really say we know what brought about the publication of the bitcoin whitepaper?
Trump, Bukele, Milei, Orban, Thiel, Musk, etc. It’s the “Dark Enlightenment” and “Network State” type of fascists that want to replace democratic government with stuff like corporate-controlled city-states, and crazy shit like that. They see it as a means to starve the government so they can run their own corporation-like governments.
The message in the genesis block alludes to the ideology (as that kind of stuff was a major talking point for right-wingers back then), though I guess it’s not definitive proof. The early community was definitely Austrian-school adjacent right-wingers though.
Many MAGA/libertarian/fascists love ice cream. Does that mean ice cream is bad?
We should be able to make up our own minds about things instead of turning everything into a partisan issue. A broken clock is right twice a day.
Crypto is stupid for entirely different reasons that I’ve enumerated in other threads in this post. I’m just observing a correlation I’ve noticed here which directly runs counter to another statement.

I don’t know any crypto bros who aren’t also MAGA/libertarian/fascist

They aren’t pushing pro-ice cream laws, this is a disingenuous take.
The Republicans in US congress just forced through a bunch of pro-crypto crap, if you’re looking for undeniable proof.
I think we can. Have you not heard of this phrase before?
Satoshi Nakamoto put it in the zeroth block of the Bitcoin blockchain.
