    Crypto bros are likely overwhelmingly libertarian since a lot of crypto bro mentality gels with that ideology, particularly that it makes currency decentralized and more controlled by private entities. Cryptocurrencies as a whole will have various aspects that may appeal to other groups, however. Like yeah, it’d be great if we could reduce the power that banks have over us, but cryptocurrency often devolves into whoever has the most coins controls everything, critically with proof of stake systems. I’m convinced that bitcoin is only as valued now because rich people (who got their riches outside of bitcoin) have controlled it and are playing games with it.
