In order to fully accept Bitcoin as a peaceful, nonviolent social revolution, we must also acknowledge and address its negative aspects.
Every day, we walk a fine line called fear. On one side is terror, which can manipulate us by influencing our choices on a subconscious level. On the other side is awareness, which comes from freedom and knowledge.
Even with Bitcoin, we should not limit ourselves to seeing only its "revolutionary" and positive aspects. We must also recognize its potential downsides, such as its instrumental use in sensitive geopolitical contexts.
Ultimately, Bitcoin can be a powerful tool for freedom, but only if it is accompanied by deep awareness and authentic knowledge.
I remember what the Cypherpunk manifesto tells us:
There is a crucial difference between secrecy and privacy.
> Secrecy is imposition, concealment, and opacity. A secret is something we don't want anyone to know, so we hide it.
> Privacy, on the other hand, is self-determination, protection, personal dignity, and the freedom to choose what to share and with whom.
Bitcoin can be a tool for conscious privacy if used with integrity.
However, it can also be bent to the logic of power, exploitation, or authoritarianism.
Ultimately, it is up to us to choose which side of history we want to be on.
