“Bitcoin is a philosophy: that of building a society in which people are freed from the financial systems established for centuries by the most powerful of this world, which allow them to manipulate the value of currencies in their favor and to become endlessly rich when everybody else gets poorer.

Bitcoin is above all a philosophy of liberation. Then, Bitcoin is a tool to counter the financial embargoes wrongly imposed on peoples by autocratic regimes or by imperialist and militarist institutions to prevent them from freeing themselves from their yoke as whoever controls your money, owns your destiny.”
