Bitcoin and the silent conflict for control and freedom
In the current universe of bitcoin (BTC) adoption, we can easily find two types of investors. One of them is a fund manager in New York who buys BTC because new regulation gives him security and he sees it as a high-risk technological bet. On the other hand, there is a small trader in Honduras who uses BTC to receive remittances without intermediaries and to protect himself from devaluation.
Both are investing in the same asset, but they live in parallel universes. Their stories illustrate the great paradox of bitcoin: an asset born for freedom that the United States is trying to tame and that Wall Street is trying to integrate into its system.
