I think it would definitely be fair to say that (right-) libertarians have been better marks for crypto than people of other ideologies, though, if only because it's, at least superficially, so aesthetically compatible with libertarianism.

It proports to be a way of having money outside of central control, and kind of digital gold, and that's more likely to be attractive to unsophisticated libertarians than to, say, technically unsophisticated social democrats, who would generally consider central control of money to be desirable.

(There are definitely attempts to market crypto to other ideologies, for instance the "Let's Go Brandon" scam aimed at the US far-right, and the "Bitcoin actually helps the environment, we promise" thing aimed at the center-left, but they're, well, such obvious nonsense that only _very_ unsophisticated people are falling for them. The hook for libertarians is better.)

Yes I agree with you. It definitely ties nicely with the ideology (if you don't think very hard about it) and so libertarians are good "marks" as you say.
