This stems in part from the fact that decentralized digital money was a goal of politically motivated cypherpunks since the early 1980s. Specifically, they believed private digital money would be a powerful tool for free commerce globally, reducing the power of governments, and therefore, the violence that large governments can commit.
This spirit of meaningful - and peaceful - change has not been lost as bitcoin has taken shape. Many view bitcoin as not simply a technology, investment, or economic experiment, but more a movement and expression of freedom. This especially resonates in our current moment, where governments prove reckless, and meaningful change through sound money seems increasingly possible.
