Bitcoin Won't Let You Transcend Politics

The article discusses the misconception that Bitcoin can completely replace and transcend politics. While Bitcoin may help reduce conflict over ownership of money, politics is still essential for securing personal political rights and engaging in decision-making processes. The author emphasizes the importance of political engagement to prevent bad regulations, criminalization of Bitcoin users, and to support pro-Bitcoin candidates. They acknowledge that while Bitcoin may eventually reduce politics in the future, it is crucial not to dismiss political activism in the present. The article emphasizes the need for a division of labor, with those skilled in politics focusing on that aspect and those skilled in coding focusing on improving Bitcoin. Ultimately, the author suggests not conflating the desired future society with the method of achieving it.
