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...

Because of 2022, the Summer of Scam. I don't agree with it, but I totally understand the Democrat pivot from being ambivalent about crypto to being hostile. I mean, they had to do *something*. How quickly we all forget everything that happened in 2022

I think this framing works for the dems in the US, but more broaly speaking, I feel like even before that, I would hear mostly concerns, doubts and dismiss when I'd talk about crypto with my leftwing friends, or hear leftwing ppl talk about Bitcoin for ex.
