We do not need an organization or institution for Bitcoin lovers, we need to spread the culture of Bitcoin in society more, we need to be aware of the importance of Bitcoin and its important role in the technical age in which we live, there is a risk that this organization will turn into a new central authority that controls Bitcoin and eliminates The goal for which bitcoin was created, governments will sooner or later realize the importance of bitcoin and will be forced to accept bitcoin or at least set regulations.
Besides this kind of thinking goes against the principles of bitcoin, this is a kind of top to bottom view in which a few powerful individuals take decisions that affect the rest and this can easily mean that they are going to try to change the law and even bitcoin against the wishes and desires of the rest of the users, we need a bottom to top view in which the majority are the ones that decide what is to be done, which is by the way the way bitcoin has been surviving and thriving until now.

Indeed.
I think that people are finally starting to realise the fragility of the fiat ecosystem and unreservedly jumping ship to bitcoin, which is definitely great news.
However, there is still ways to go before we can safely say that there has been mass adoption for bitcoin. Institutions have still a lot of progress to make when it comes to adopting bitcoin into their product models, and we're only seeing starting to see that now with Twitter and others integrating BTC as a payment option.

It is not hard to notice that there has indeed developed a sort of a cultish mindset among Bitcoin supporters which seem to hail Bitcoin as some kind of a silver bullet that gives solutions to all social, political, and economic ills of the society. I couldn't help but notice that other people seem to treat Bitcoin as infallible, that people couldn't go wrong with Bitcoin, and so on. I am a strong fan of Bitcoin but I wouldn't go as far as hoping that a certain cohesive Bitcoin group would end up as a political party or even a religion. That's crossing the line.
The opportunity to use BTC in politics does exist but this is only a form of resistance and the existence of groups who hate the centralized system and admire the innovation it has. It is economically difficult to penetrate because each country fortifies itself for fear that it will no longer be a regulator. This is something the king should pay attention to.

There is no need for some kind of organization or political force to take in charge, we don't need a central force that is gonna say what do we want and not want, because it can't represent the majority of the bitcoin users, because bitcoin is decentralized and that is the it should be, because one you have someone who represents it it turns to fiat that is represented by the government. and that is why bitcoin is free and should stay that way.
There are groups trying to become a party, Look at Elon.
You don't need a political party anymore because there are already politicians supporting Bitcoin. You can see how they are protecting our privacy when a bill is supposedly passed to the senate, it was objected to by some senators. When countries like are now considering Bitcoin to be legal tender, it's already winning.

The problem with politics is that it makes people close-minded. People belonging to a certain political group would think others are either with them or against them. Politicians would tend to stick to their party or group's stand however foolish it may be, and the other party's stand would always be wrong no matter what. There's no more objectivity in dealing with issues. Having said this, I think Bitcoin would only fall into the gutter if the community forms into a political group of some kind.

Thankfully my nation does not see crypto as a bad thing, no party sees it as a bad thing, and that is a big big help for me. I mean it gives us the chance to build a bunch of crypto related companies and have a lot of miners and exchanges and many other thing and you do not pay too much taxes neither, you pay income tax from it but that's about it, so if you have 1k dollars and invest and make 1k more on top of that, instead of your 2k, you pay income tax from that 1k alone and that is 150 bucks, so you still are in big profit.
I still dislike certain parties and all but that is for a whole another reason, there is nothing wrong with any party in my nation when it comes to crypto and they all support it because it means more taxes for the government and they love it.

If everyone supports it, it means that this is good news. It can promote the development of Bitcoin.
But we don’t know whether they completely trust and believe in Bitcoin. If there is no conflict of interest, Bitcoin will always be supported.

What about the reverse case happening? Rather than Bitcoin "fans" organizing in to a political force, what about some of the established politicians adopting Bitcoin and doing the lobbying on it's behalf? This scenario looks more palatable for me, because we are leaving power at the hands of people who have enough experience. One of the reasons why the Pirate Party failed was that their elected officials failed to do their duties, due to lack of experience. And we had a few politicians such as Nayib Bukele of El Salvador supporting Bitcoin.

Crypto enthusiasts with political leanings or friends in high places can certainly help, though I'm not sure whether establishing a political party based on cryptocurrencies is necessary. Centralized control is what bitcoin and crypto were supposed to combat, and having a political party based off crypto joining the fray doesn't sound right. We can have lobbyists, politicians, lawmakers, and big names as crypto enthusiasts, and I think the power they wield is enough for our voices to be heard in the political stage.
Bitcoin should show its attitude in the political world. No matter what objective attributes Bitcoin has, there is one thing that cannot be avoided. That is, Bitcoin has social attributes, whether it is a tool or other functions. The existence of social attributes tells us that he is inseparable from politics, so it is better to face it head-on.

If an organization composed of Bitcoin fans develops into a political force, I think that bringing new vitality and growth space to digital currency is also an important opportunity for the wider application of Bitcoin. I am looking forward to it. I even think this is a historic step. Imagine that if Bitcoin forum members (consensus) can form a community organization, will they be able to run for the president of the United States? If you want to be more exaggerated, a virtual sovereign state appears on the Internet. Just like in online games, you can even find a girlfriend, which feels amazing.
Nope, not a good idea, sorry. First of all read why Satoshi Nakamoto developed bitcoin – it’s a decentralized currency. So, if it’s a decentralized currency, then what’s the need of the same community to form a centralized organization? That means we’re creating a target for the government. It’s best as it is, we have been able to grow like this and we have reached this level we are now without having any centralized organizations or anyone controlling the community, not even Satoshi himself, do why are we going to be needing that now? I understand you, but it’s still not necessary. August 29, 2021, 12:50:28 PM

Is there any idea about the demographic of this forum, no idea about how many users are active in this forum from the United States, even if you want someone from the cryptocurrency space to run for the president, how many votes do you think he will be able to get Imagine that if Bitcoin forum members (consensus) can form a community organization, will they be able to run for the president of the United States?

. There are more people that comes to vote during an election than the entire cryptocurrency universe. In the future we might see but not anytime soon. August 28, 2021, 04:23:18 PM
Unfortunately, there is currently no political party in my country that is focused on crypto currency. The election is coming up next month, and I'm not sure which party to vote for. They're all rather similar, making it difficult to select between them if you don't like any of them. I wish there was a progressive political party with a strong focus on technology and cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin fans develop into a political force
Quote
Bitcoin's current rally is inseparable from the assists of the giants. On August 23, local time, the US payment giant PayPal announced the launch of a cryptocurrency service in the UK. Starting this week, it will allow UK customers to buy, hold and sell digital currencies. This action marks the first international expansion of PayPal's cryptocurrency service outside the United States, and the company first launched this type of service in the United States in October last year.
It's hilarious to see all these bitcoin fanatics hyping bitcoin as the antithesis of centralized payment processors, and the PayPal killer, and then subsequently cheering PayPal's adoption of crypto because it pushes the price higher. At the end of the day, relatively few people care about the tech. They just care about the gains, and they don't really care why it happens, as demonstrated perfectly here.

I accept your point of view. Every Bitcoin supporter has his own worldview and values, and has a different way of thinking. One important point is that each of us lives in a political environment because we Unable to leave the country. Each of us has political influence in our hearts. However, perhaps a brand new Bitcoin organization can be realized through the network
The question is whether we need a centralized organization for doing this work. As seen from the example from India, Bitcoin users have been able to exert pressure on the government even without a formal association. And in case we go for organized activism, then there will be backlash from the opposing sectors as well. I would prefer the current status quo, at least until Bitcoin becomes more popular. And organized activism is not necessary to influence politics. Look at what happened to El Salvador. Bitcoin was declared as the legal tender without any organized activity.
