bitcoin's power now gathers some political influence, bitcoin owes a lot to the free state project, as the earliest non techie adopters of bitcoin were those who were interested in it's political implications , i.e libertarians and anarcho capitalists , they brought the boost bitcoin needed in it's early days through projects like the silk road, the online drug marketplace and many other projects too, the many libertarian and anarcho capitalist spokesmen also made tons of youtube video celebrating bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
now comes the NH state senate candidate Ian Freeman
enjoy,
People who got in early also were heavily rewarded. I bought $57 worth of bitcoin in 2014 (not even that early) and sold 80% of it for around $700.
