People who identify with progressivism tend to genuinely care about helping others and improving human rights, living, and working conditions.

They don’t like to see wealthy and powerful people and corporations bending the rules in their favor. They oppose economic, racial, and gender discrimination and are advocates of a variety of social issues.

Many favor stronger government intervention to achieve these goals, which I think is what libertarians take the biggest issue with.

They also tend to have a misguided understanding of how money works, especially with respect to central banking and inflation, and usually assign blame for rising costs squarely on corporate greed as opposed to money printing.

One of the goals of this podcast is to help explain this in a way that doesn’t alienate people who identify as liberals and progressives and show them why and how bitcoin also speaks to their values.

By the way, conservatives, especially in the US, are also big fans of government power, except they prefer to wield it against the same types of people progressives want to help.
