The Contradictions of the Alt-Right Embracing Bitcoin for Crowdfunding

Alt-Right leaders are increasingly turning to bitcoin to conduct fundraising following account closures from leading crowdfunding platforms. Despite the libertarian underscoring of many cryptocurrency projects, the use of bitcoin poses several fundamental challenges to altright ideology.

I am sure that there are those who can feel disturbed with this trend of alt-right personalities now turning to Bitcoin for funding their own causes. Well, all I can say is that Bitcoin is for all people regardless of what ideology the person might be carrying. Bitcoin remains to be apolitical and it is open for us by anybody even by those who are accused of crimes.

We all know that there is a certain percentage of Bitcoin users who can be into the black trade and this can not be denied but any fiat money can also be used by anybody in committing a crime. It is the criminal who is at issue and not the type that criminal can be using leading to his misdeed.

Bitcoin is not affiliated with any political ideology, nor does it make sense to associate it with any.

It does allow "anarcho-capitalism" to be closer to possible, which is why a lot of people who believe in that sort of thing become interested in Bitcoin.

I'm very much against the "alt right" but it's irrelevant what they accept for donations.  They accept PayPal as well.  Might as well just argue about what it actually says on the website, in the Politics and Society section.
