Bitcoin could enable much greater free trade without any nation state, China or the US manipulating and bullying others with their dominance. I hope it will happen, and it might - at least some nations are not going to want to be under US or Chinese hegemony and if enough can see that Bitcoin enables trade payments free of any hegemony it could happen. If it doesn't and large nations continue to dominate trade payments true free trade will never be achieved- the super power/s will continue to use their size and dominance and ability to cut off trade payments access, while using their reserve currency issuance powers to distort markets. Algorithms are mostly concentrating power and wealth into fewer hands - Bitcoin is radically different in nature in its inherent design to distribute power and liquid capital to all who choose to use it. It can free participants of debt and empower decentralised capital markets free of debt and the privileged fiat debt capital privilege wielded by the banks and governments. The future could be determined by the smaller nations and individuals choosing to adopt Bitcoin rather than being drawn into the power vortex of the super powers. Yes New Zealand has its advantages - if you like hiking there is a great network of back country tramping tracks and hundreds of huts anyone can use at minimal cost or free . . . you can traverse much of the country on them. The South Island is my preference as less urban and more relaxed.
