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.

Many leftists are drawn to crypto because it can democratize financial systems and promote economic justice. Decentralization can empower marginalized communities, offering innovative solutions for social and economic equity. It's not just about reducing state power; it's about creating fairer systems.
