In the world of slaves and slavery, Bitcoin is freedom!

Bitcoin promises a kind of freedom that can only be formed in the form of a decentralized network without an owner or authority.

The sentence you read is the beginning an article It is frank with a critical tone about the current state of capitalist systems that enslave people without knowing it. The author of this article, Anderson Benavides Prado, owns Bitcoin and has been interested in this new technology since 2016. He openly challenges the current capitalist system; A system that has led to the unfair distribution of wealth and “new slavery”. The author of this article believes that the only way to escape from the current situation is to seek refuge in decentralized financial systems such as Bitcoin, which in the first place brought freedom to mankind. Continue this article with a cooked and attractive pen Prado You’re reading.

Nature is fundamentally decentralized. In focus, we have seen only the mask: the tricksters who deceive the gullible; Charlatans who enter the government to pocket huge wealth and send soldiers to war so that they do not answer to anyone for their accumulated loot; The statesmen who force their citizens to pay endless bills through taxes, bank credits, loans and debts so that they cannot move forward without paying the fees.

This ultimately means concentration; Many smokes and lies that combine in one furnace; A stove that is kept burning by politicians who believe that the people do not deserve to be governed. From the point of view of these power leaders, the joy of self-administration is only for small tribes who hide in the forests and mountains; Like animals that hide themselves from the sight of civilized societies; But in the long run, they are doomed to be discovered and colonized and destroyed.

As it is impossible to exercise power without corruption, exercising power without centralization is even more impossible; Especially if there is a decentralized option like Bitcoin. Bitcoin bases its transparent and immutable government on mathematics, and it is mature and powerful enough that it does not consider itself to depend on a government that has no interest in the advancement of mankind.

Meanwhile, we must remember that utility patents are never made with the prior permission of any government. It started with the alphabet, which must have been the first tacit agreement, or rather the first social contract between people, rather than the money that merchants invented to pay for food or housing or sex.

Great inventions have always been decentralized and never required the permission of any association or committee for their operation. On the other hand, the worst inventions and innovations, such as religion and politics and armed armies, which have come into existence only to satisfy the desire to dominate the centralized power. Precisely for this reason, one cannot understand why people today believe that they have a voice; While it is as clear as day that they have long been held captive by the tyranny of centralization and allow the government that has abandoned them to do whatever it wants with their money and the fruits of their labor and monitor it however it wants and without any shame to These people say:

A person who is a skilled guardian of something is also skilled in stealing it.

(Plato)

Bitcoin is the only hero that is currently resisting the economic and governmental monsters of this world. The Bitcoin network respects human privacy so much that people can operate on it without being identified. Blockchain is a science related to privacy and is not transparent at all. If so, not only its security would be threatened; But its immutability is also endangered.

If blockchain didn’t protect people’s privacy, it would pave the way for the very thing it was created to escape from; That means excessive government surveillance, interference in individual liberties (which is justified in the name of defending collective liberties), more inequality, much more corruption, and everything that is in direct conflict with Bitcoin’s philosophy.

Privacy, at least in the Bitcoin blockchain, is not an obvious duty, but a basic right. In the Bitcoin blockchain, the word “privacy” means “freedom” and collective benefit is not obtained at the cost of sacrificing individual desires.

The primary purpose of Bitcoin, like any other innovation, is to release beings into a freer world than the one we were in; So that every person who wants to reach a certain goal has a means to achieve it. Moreover, he should be less dependent on others as much as possible and devote his days to the art in which he finds himself capable and, most importantly, without having to surrender his freedom in exchange for the illusion of law and justice.

Indeed, nature has created us free; But we ourselves lock ourselves up, create obstacles for ourselves, enclose ourselves in walls and reduce ourselves to lowliness and humility.

Plutarch – Greek philosopher

Unfortunately, freedom is so abhorred during the peak of centralized powers that the whole psychology of this concept seems to have been formed with the purpose of humiliating and slandering it. The concept of freedom in today’s world has been misinterpreted to such an extent that people feel free; But in practice, they appear in the role of slaves. Freedom in all its forms means not being moved or forced without any sense of restriction. It is a pure truth that a person can lead his life by trial and error and experience without needing to get permission from a certain person or institution or government.

Maybe if humans didn’t have special needs, they would be free and equal; But as long as misfortune makes some people subordinate to others, and they act not out of freedom, but out of dire need, and a few own their lives and consider others as part of their property, there will be dependence and inequality. And slavery will be a harsh but real reality.

We all know that compared to the past ages, today’s man has much more freedom. Undoubtedly, the slave who kisses at night the hand that whips his back during the day has now joined history. However, we are still miles away from this lofty idea that humans are completely free from birth; That is, the neutral child of the world who can throw his heart into the sea, without any wave pushing him back and bringing him back to the shore.

Today, we are faced with a person who has focused his financial freedom on taking more loans, not realizing that the worst situation is the situation of someone who practically owns nothing. This person can never be free; Because it only thinks of an ideal image of freedom in its simplest and most caricatured form. Such a person does not choose freedom based on what he can do; Rather, he measures according to what he can endure even in the midst of the worst needs, and thinks in his crude imagination that the fact that he has no owner or master is enough to confirm that he is not a slave.

Such a person sees himself destined to serve all his life, provided he is allowed to say that he loves his liberty, which is bound up with idolatry; Because he can say that because he is free, he serves God; Even if the devil himself ordered him. Although he does not like the bonds of slavery and says that he hates the bond, he knows very well that he must live with it.

No matter how big a name you carry with you, you are still just a slave, not just one person’s slave, but a permanent slave for many people; For you will bow your head like a laborer and die from sunrise to sunset for an insulting wage.

Lucian – Greek writer and philosopher

Another wonder is the astonishing number of emphatic speeches made against slavery among the ancient Greeks and Romans in all ages; But it is even more surprising that those in power at that time did not even own slaves as much as one-third of the Europeans and the people of the North American continent. The current masters of the earth think to themselves that if it wasn’t for the Tower of Babel controversy, the whole world would be speaking English today. Needless to say, according to the teachings of the Torah, the legend of the Tower of Babel is the main reason for the diversity of languages ​​on earth.

These power holders are the same people who call themselves democrats; But they still can’t stand the idea of ​​anything outside the control of their regulatory policies, let alone people inventing and using things that don’t need them and their paperwork.

In this day and age, freedom only makes sense when the powerful want it, not when the common people cry for it. Always, what the general public has obtained with much effort and sacrifice, the statesmen have prohibited with much less effort. In this society, whatever does not have their official permission and supervision is considered moral evil and is the product of the criminal freedom that the criminal has allowed himself to abuse; Therefore, it is definitely harmful for the rest of the society; A society that must obey and show its gratitude to those in power and think and act as it is ordered.

The messengers talk of freedom / But I believe none of them, this shameful game / I know very well that everyone wants freedom only for their own gain / Are you really going to set your neighbor free? / Start by serving him… that’s the only way.

Goethe

However, the truth is that many of us who believe in the idea of ​​Bitcoin have heard a lot about the freedom of others; But we don’t think there is anyone on the planet who has achieved the kind of freedom we have. We know that every price paid for freedom is worth it, and the freest person is the one who has the most independence from his desires; The one who lives in the best way and has the best dreams and is freed from himself the most and finds new life every time.

Over time, we have realized that we have to wish for what we want and our life is the way we wished. Every day we realize that the world is two days and these two days should not be sacrificed to any government. If we are going to be condemned, let it be for our relentless pursuit of freedom and justice and the beauty of life and the pursuit of the best we know. If we continue to live for others, what will happen to us? Is there any slavery worse than voluntary slavery? Is it possible to go anywhere without untying the soul and freeing it and doing all that is necessary?
