I didnt say crypto wasnt political, i said Coinbase is more interested in leaving politics out of its business. Hive has little politics other than the hard fork and is decentralised as much as any chain really. It is a community project.

There's no way to not be in politics, especially when your financial products either fly or crash based on regulations.
