Description

For people around the world, outside of Wall Street, Bitcoin offers a way to free themselves from inflation, political unrest, and an outdated monetary system. For these people, a large portion of the global population, digital money could even save their lives.

As CSO of the Human Rights Foundation, Alex Gladstein is in a unique position to describe the rise of Bitcoin as a useful tool. The rise from the cypherpunk dream to the last bastion to protect people around the world from oppression. Gladstein is clear that those born into a reserve currency like the Euro, Yen, or Dollar have a financial privilege over 89% of the world's population that grows up in a weaker system.

In Nigeria, human rights activists rely on Bitcoin donations after being persecuted by authoritarian regimes. In Cuba, those who saved in Bitcoin were able to stay afloat after a dual currency system severely devalued the Peso. In El Salvador, where remittance fees and exchange rates can largely eat up a simple money transfer to needy family members, Bitcoin offers hope through lower fees and faster transactions.
