Bitcoin is for everyone.
We are moving through the institutionalisation phase of Bitcoin’s journey, and that is part of its inevitable path. This phase will really test its antifragility.
I recently attended the Freedom Tech track at the Oslo Freedom Forum. It was intense and at times uncomfortable, but I left with a renewed feeling of hope. Dedicated builders and activists are now developing tools to push back against digital authoritarianism.
More than 6.2 billion people currently live under authoritarian rule, facing censorship, surveillance, bank freezes and restricted freedoms. For those people, freedom tech is about survival.
Bitcoin as freedom money gives us one of the strongest levers we have to separate money from the state, reduce dependence on permissioned systems and enable individuals to become sovereign.
It is easy to focus on the many problems we face and there are plenty, but there is also tremendous good being created by a growing force of builders and activists who have felt the pain and are determined to fight for freedom.
They are developing private payments, resilient communication networks, peer to peer funding, spyware research and education tools that governments may not like.
As @Edward Snowden said: “Acting in secret is not freedom, it’s not the goal. We should not have to contort ourselves to fit through the keyholes of tyranny.”
