Once you are transacting purely in Bitcoin, there are no chokeholds. It is only if you are using Bitcoin to buy a local fiat currency that there might be gatekeepers. This is why working towards a Bitcoin circular economy is key to regaining the freedom of thought you so desire.
Circular economies herald circle jerks. The medium is not freedom, whether it is shells, dollars, rupees, bitcoins, or bars of platinum. It comes down to the human element.
