SBFs connection with the Democrats shows how crypto is painted as all things to all men. For left leaning types it's pitched as subverting corrupt institutions  and democratising money. The truth, in my opinion, is closer to the gold standard and "sound money" which is the polar opposite. Its also quite interesting to see how the same issues that exist within traditional finance eventually bubble to the surface, probably an issue with human nature that is currently beyond technologies ability to fix.
