What are some left-leaning principles in Bitcoin? How would things change for society if these ideas were more prevalent instead of the current system?

Bitcoin is anti-elitist for sure. That's kind of a lefty stance, even if some on the right try to claim it too. If we think of 'left' as pushing for equality, then yeah, Bitcoin fits. Anyone can own and use it without needing permission from the elite.

Not to mention, once Bitcoin is widely adopted, it could help reduce poverty by cutting down on the Cantillon effect, or what some call the inflation tax. Inflation helps the wealthy since they get fiat money first. It’s a huge problem.

I see Bitcoin as giving everyone equal access to capital, which is a more leftist idea, right? But really, it’s more libertarian because capitalism talks about property rights, and Bitcoin is all about that. Can capitalism really be considered left-leaning though? I’m not sure.

Bitcoin is for everyone, not about left vs right. No one’s left out here. It’s all about the community running things, not some elite group, as the whitepaper suggests. It’s freedom for everyone, regardless of where you stand politically.
