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.

Not all “leftists” are the same, just like not all black people vote the same just like not all college educated women vote the same.

I’m left leaning. I’m happy for government to have EPA regulations but I’m not happy to have heavy handed housing regulation.

Like everything there is nuance

I guess I would argue two points:

- NFTs brought in a ton of artists. Artists are progressive

- I believe ethereum is inherently progressive and optimistic. Even in its birth it was a response to corporate monopolies. (Sword, game, vitalik etc…)

But like everything, stereotypes are directionally accurate. That’s why they are stereotypes.
