Bitcoin is Neutral, But That’s What Makes It Powerful
Bitcoin isn’t built to favor one person over another. It doesn’t discriminate, gatekeep, or enforce arbitrary barriers. No one can draw a line and say, “You can’t buy Bitcoin.” That level playing field is what makes it unstoppable.
Biases exist in Bitcoin, but they come from the people adopting it, not from the network itself. The protocol doesn’t care who you are, what you believe, or where you’re from; it just enforces the rules equally. Freedom minded individuals are drawn to Bitcoin, but that doesn’t make Bitcoin biased. It just proves that freedom thrives in systems that resist control.
Some still believe politics and freedom are connected, but history teaches the opposite. Politicians: left, right, or otherwise, have all expanded debt, raised taxes, and devalued money. Did that make you more free? The real fight for freedom isn’t political; it’s personal. It’s about self-sovereignty, about taking control of what’s yours.
Systemic inequality can’t exist in a system with fixed rules and an anti manipulation consensus mechanism. No bailouts. No backroom deals. Just math. And for all the noise about Bitcoin’s energy use, the reality is that it’s less energy-intensive than the traditional financial system and actively drives innovation in renewable energy. The incentives work because Bitcoin is a market driven phenomenon, not a political promise.
Bitcoin is a protest against corporate and state control. And the most poetic part? When my oppressors buy Bitcoin, they don’t control me; they just become my peers, subject to the same rules as everyone else. No more favors, no more special privileges, no more manipulation.
Separation of money and state isn’t a partisan issue, it’s just that neither party is willing to give up the money printer. That should tell you everything.
My political views might shift over time, but I’ll always be a Bitcoiner first. It’s far less embarrassing to fanboy a permissionless protocol than to worship a politician, a bureaucrat, or any flawed human.
