Then, researchers compared the alignment of crypto enthusiasts with what are known as “binding moral foundations” (Authority, Purity, and Loyalty) – typically associated with political conservatives – to “individualizing foundations” (Fairness and Care) which are often linked to liberals.

IMHO, that is a really strange set of "moral foundations".

But does it really surprise you? Sounds spot on to me.

Yes. I think people like bitcoin because it is decentralized. There aren't banks or government that control the currency. There is no authority. I don't see anything unfair about it. On top of that, I don't understand how loyalty, care, or purity relate to bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.
