Liberty is an important value however Libertarianism, the political movement, falls into all sorts of ideological traps. > Bitcoin is about a system to protect and enforce a foundation of liberty for the world. Its founder never made such a grandiose claim for it. He focused (with great intellectual rigour) on building a form of decentralised, uncensorable money. Clearly those two properties bring liberty to its users but we must maintain the focus on those essential properties, not add 'wooliness' by attaching grandiose generalisations to the project. Again, something that Satoshi, wisely, never did.
