Why are there so many leftists within crypto? As Solana says in his bankless episode, crypto disintermediates and reduces the power of the state. I get why libertarians and rightists like crypto, but why leftists? Leftists should want state power to enact leftist policy goals if they care about leftist outcomes.

Leftists may see crypto as a tool to decentralize power and promote economic equity beyond state control. It offers a way to create financial systems that prioritize transparency, accessibility, and democratization, aligning with values of reducing inequality and empowering marginalized communities.
