$BTC : A BLOW TO DICTATORS, ACCORDING TO HRF
Friends, I have to tell you this! Alex Gladstein, a super smart guy from the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), has dropped a bomb: Bitcoin is a headache for dictators. He said it at the Bitcoin Policy Summit in Washington, D.C., and it makes a lot of sense. According to him, Bitcoin takes away from authoritarian regimes that power to manage money as they please.
Imagine this: if you have your Bitcoins well secured and do not link them to your identity, nobody can take them from you with inflation! That means governments cannot freeze your accounts or make your money worthless, which is exactly what they do to control people.
HRF realized how powerful Bitcoin was in 2013, when those protests for democracy happened in Ukraine. Many people saw their bank accounts frozen, and Bitcoin, although it was worth little at that time, was the only way to move money when traditional methods failed. Gladstein, who has been at HRF for years, says this technology has saved countless people living under dictatorships. It's crazy!
