This is what the Crypto Left looks like: Reflecting on the Breadchain Popup at FtC Berlin 2025
For two days, the stars aligned at Engelnest Coworking space in Berlin. The tiny sliver of overlap between the enthusiasts of cryptocurrency and the political left was, for a fleeting moment, not just a construct of online discourse. Crypto and web3 have long captured the ire of many in progressive circles. Without a doubt, much of this criticism is well-earned. But the Breadchain Popup at Funding the Commons Forum Berlin not only provided respite from these narratives, but showed us a glimps...
