I'm libertarian but i don't expect bitcoin large scale adoption in western without regulation first. But as regulation will be unenforceable i don't see them as a major threat  Wink

Obviously i would prefer no regulation but i think we can't always play the libertarian/anarchist card when advocating bitcoin...

I am a person who believes that people should be allowed to do and say what they want without any interference from the government. Bitcoin will allow me to do that. So yes bitcoin is libertarian at its fullest.

Seems to me that dark wallets would be for those that are so focused on anonymity but any sort of enhanced adoption by a growing, interested public wouldn't care so much for the in-depth privacy, just the ease of spending coins and potentially at discounts over other methods.

that was my point, agorist use of bitcoin is good but we need to bring the average people in bitcoin and have powerful business to fund some lobbying. I think lobbying is bad and should not exist, but the world is what it is and even if it's not good morally we need it.

I guess many people would say yes but I'm not so sure it is a good idea to have a label on Bitcoin.  Not saying it is a horrible idea just that it may make some people judge the book by it's cover and not taking the time to learn the whole story.

I don't believe it is. It's a technology. You can't associate it to the slimy chameleons that are most politicians.

Syscoin has the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum in one place, it's merge mined with Bitcoin so it is plugged into Bitcoin's ecosystem and takes full advantage of it's POW while rewarding Bitcoin miners with Syscoin

Anything you do based upon your individual choice is libertarian; everything else, you do for an authority, fundamentally out of fear of violence being used against you, ergo libertarianism's opposite, authoritarianism.

I'd actually argue that it is more veered towards Anarchism than Libertarian because it trusts in a decentralised system of mathematics than government, but it does tend to hold to the characteristics of both ideologies, the thing about Libertarianism is it still wants government, but a highly limited and small government where as Anarchism wants to get rid of it all.

Bitcoin is whatever a person's core thought about it is. It could be Asia, but that doesn't necessarily make it Asia.
