Is any technology inherently political, or do we make it political when we pick political fights over it? Did 7-Eleven become a political company when Bloomberg went and banned Big Gulps?
no, i'm not suggesting that technology is inherently political. the ideal of decentralization by way of crypto is a fight for power, which is the essence of "political".
politics extends past the democrat vs republican system. "political" means power, whether it's a minority group fighting for power so they can have some basic human rights, or it's some crypto bros fighting for decentralization so they can have power.
