The role of economic and political elites in the adoption and regulation of the most influential cryptocurrency.
$BTC
The cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) has transformed the global financial landscape since its creation in 2009. However, its relationship with economic, political, and technological elites has been complex and, in many cases, contradictory. On one hand, Bitcoin is seen by many as a tool that can democratize the financial system, reducing dependence on banks and governments. On the other hand, elites have shown an increasing interest in its adoption, whether as a speculative asset or as an alternative to traditional money.
