The invention of the computer and then the internet promised a more democratic world; a world where people have more power and knowledge at their fingertips; where people would be able to resist power structures' control and manipulation for their gain at the people's expense. We've made good progress, but it hasn't fully panned out yet. Bitcoin is the next critical step fowards toward that end. I'm enjoying watching history progress.

Bitcoin makes me optimistic for a better future for humanity.

Bitcoin maxis make me pessimistic.
