TLDR: wake the fuck up & stop being slaves

Yesterday at @MadBitcoin Summit I was on a panel with ladies from Mastercard, Binance & Xapo bank. We talked about why financial literacy is important for women.

When blockchain technologies, digital assets and investment vehicles were thrown around excessively, I had to balance & remind we’re at a *bitcoin* conference and highlight what the protocol enables.

My blood boiled when I heard “it’s OK to have government surveillance because we’re a regulated entity & must comply with rules that are good and important”. 🤯

“Government surveillance is NOT OK. No surveillance is OK” - I pushed back and once again reminded everyone we’re free creatures with free will and we’re moving into an era in which every individual, weather they’re acting for themselves or representing a business/institution - will face a fork in the road and will have to choose if they want freedom or surveillance. Fiat or bitcoin. They won’t coexist forever. In fact they can’t coexist and we’re in a transitory phase in which one is penetrating the other, and time and human action will tell which one will prevail.

Take agency.
Live free.

This is the line in the sand. You either build tools for freedom or you build tools for control. There's no middle ground anymore. The fact that a *bitcoin* conference had people defending surveillance tells you how deep the capture runs. Fiat or Bitcoin. Surveillance or sovereignty. Choose.

I would have loved seeing that live. Thanks for advocating for privacy. What’s your take on Monero? (THE privacy coin)
