🙌 [Analysis] A human rights activist’s response to Bitcoin critics - Alex Gladstein

Bitcoin ($BTC) is a thoroughly humanitarian technology, a "first line of defense" against centralized power. Popular establishment attacks on Bitcoin--from 'its boiling the oceans!' to 'its a den of thieves!'--fail with even a little investigation. It is a technology that holds promise for all by liberating all: the Venezuelan, the Egyptian, and the Iranian can hold value across space and time in a manner never seen before. Bitcoin follows in the tradition of other decentralizing efforts like democracy or the Internet, a position both libertarians and progressives can support.
