The reason why people see right libertarians as, well, right-wing is because the majority ends up aligning more with mainstream right-wing parties and candidates when it comes to voting.

FWIW left libertarianism is also a thing, but you won't find much of that in crypto.

Libertarians used to be left on social issues (they don’t want the right telling them who they can marry or what they can do with their bodies) and right on economic issues (traditional liberal unregulated economics, less socially funded services). It’s hard to see where they land today given Trump distortion (Trump as an obvious authoritarian shouldn’t appeal to libertarians very much, but does, so I wonder if their average ideology has changed).
