"We, Bitcoiners, are all dissidents in the Old World of trusted third parties. [...] Laws of nature that are higher than man-made laws, being enforced by mathematics, have begun to reorganize a society." - Nozomi Hayase
Bitcoin isn't merely a new money, it's a radical departure from the systems of trust. It founds a new system where incentives align in a beautiful design to enforce cooperation through the independent self-interest of opposing parties. As a technology of dissent, it doesn't allow us merely to protest the old system's of control, but instead gives us an avenue to opt out altogether.
