It's a bit of a hard read, but the author proves that Bitcoin is pushed by far right activists who have extreme views of how money should work.

Bitcoin is also pushed by far-left extremists, anarchists, nihilists, centrists and adherents to loads of other schools of thought. From the BTC-maximilists I've come to known, some very active in the community, I'd say it's not representative of BTC proponents in general.

Though I don't think I'd like the top BTC whales of today to effectively run the global economy.

I, and many others I know, aren't far right and support it. We just don't want the government to print money at will.

That is a far right viewpoint. Modern economics requires a government to actively maintain a steady value in its currency. Removing this control is, by definition, far right.
