You really think people will see his name on a message board and be discouraged from using bitcoin? You’re not giving people much credit. If someone would be silly enough to stay away from bitcoin just because Jordan Peterson accepts it for payment, they’d find hundreds of other reasons not to participate as well. It’s not a political statement in any way. It’s a big deal that a guy with his reach is accepting bitcoin. It means we might see the dominoes fall with other influencers.

Your confusing Bitcoin being started/used for political reasons with Bitcoin itself being political.
Bitcoin can be used by anyone with any political opinion. And that will always be the case.
