Have you ever read “Anthem” by Ayn Rand?

It’s a dystopian novella set in a future collectivist society where individuality is completely suppressed, and people live solely for the group, using "we" instead of "I." The protagonist, Equality 7-2521, is a curious and intelligent young man who secretly rediscovers electricity and creates a light bulb, but his invention is rejected by the authorities for being an independent achievement. Fleeing into the Uncharted Forest, he discovers the concept of individuality and renames himself "Prometheus," embracing the forbidden word "I." The story concludes with his resolve to build a new society founded on individual freedom and self-expression, rejecting the oppressive collectivism of his former world.

I would say "Anthem" and Bitcoin have the same vibe. Both are all about breaking free from the herd and sticking it to the system. Just like Equality 7-2521 fights to reclaim his freedom in a world that crushes individuality, Bitcoin gives people the power to control their own money without the need for banks or governments telling them what to do. It’s about autonomy, shaking off the chains of centralized control, and carving out space where you make the rules. Both challenge the status quo, pushing for a world where personal freedom actually means something.
