Dear Cryptoleft, I have a question for you: From my experience and knowledge (in France & in the US), it seems to me that left wing aligned ppl are more often than not, anti-crypto. Oftentimes because it's seem as a way to scam people, and often associated with finance, which is traditionally despised by the left. However, given the very nature of blockchains, being a decentralized and transparent alternative to our current information storage/communication system, which should 100% align with the leftwing standards, how come we're seeing so much dogmatism and lazyness to actually understand the technology, embrace it, and build leftwing aligned proposition? This really baffles me to be honest. Is there a deeper reason as to why things are this way? Making crypto a partisan issue is really the worst outcome possible...

Besides what people already said, - it's partly a perception issue, there was a study that went around recently showing crypto ownership is spread pretty evenly between left right and center - the most famously anti crypto people are the US Dems, who are politically conservative when it comes to economy and authoritarianism - crypto promises an opportunity for a neutral global currency but the current ones probably aren't it, they seem disqualified for one reason or another
