Because it is uncontrolled.
Leftist think that if they can't ban you or control your money then you should be considered as far right, neo-nazi and literally Hitler. In leftist media you can pretty often see how they replace "free speach" with "hate speach".
That's how modern and progressive social trends look like.

Makes zero sense

Bitcoin is designed to be a capitalist utility. Fascists are corporatist, making them anti-capitalist. This David Golumbia character obviously doesn't even know the basics of what he's talking about

Because during the early years of the Obama presidency, "Libertarianism," which had been historically "liberal," was redefined as "right wing."

This was a way of consolidating "liberal thought" and not allowing any deviations from the orthodox view.

By "capitalist" do you mean "free market"?

bitcoin has nothing to do with "right-wing" extremism,

that would mean bitcoin would care for someones rights,

its more like private people trying to enrich themselves.

people that created it care mainly for their own rights.

Ah, that's what you think

Though this man (David Golumbia) is simply tossing out buzzwords in an attempt to make people interested. BITCOIN, SOFTWARE, RIGHT WING EXTREMISM. Sounds like bullshit to me, common stuff in this fake news era though.
