Bitcoin is the revolution of financial freedom
Bitcoin is the "financial liberation tool" of the digital age
- Decentralization and anti-censorship
Bitcoin has freed itself from the control of governments and banks through blockchain technology, becoming a tool for asset preservation for the people in countries with hyperinflation (such as Venezuela and Argentina), and even a symbol of resistance against financial authoritarianism.
- Scarcity design
With a fixed supply mechanism of 21 million coins, it has become "digital gold" against the excessive money printing by central banks, especially after the global monetary expansion in 2020, when institutional investors (like MicroStrategy) included it in their inflation-hedging asset allocation.
- Potential for technological revolution
Underlying technology has driven innovations such as smart contracts and DeFi, which may reconstruct the traditional financial system in the future.
Summary
The ultimate paradox of Bitcoin is: it rises by challenging the traditional system, yet it may lose its revolutionary nature by being incorporated into the traditional system (such as Wall Street ETFization). Ordinary investors need to have a clear understanding: this could be an opportunity for wealth redistribution, but more likely it is a battlefield of high-risk speculation.
