Progressives concerned about poverty alleviation—think Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—should give cryptos a closer look.

There is no reason that cryptocurrency should be a political issue as there are plenty of reasons to support crypto whether you are conservative, liberal, libertarian or something else. This article goes into some reasons progressives would (or should) support cryptocurrency.
One such reason is protection against inflation. One only has to look at what has been going on in Venezuela for an excellent example. However even in the U.S., the threat of higher inflation looms large.
Another excellent reason is the potential for lower cost of transaction. Sure, SOME cryptos can be expensive to spend but many are not. Using crypto allows you to bypass all sorts of potential middlemen, banks in particular.
Of course, the nature of politics being what it is and the desire for control that many politicians seem to have, it seems far more likely that politicians of differing political philosophies will act together to fight cryptocurrency rather than to support it.
