"only 13% of our planet’s population is born into the dollar, euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar or Swiss Franc. The other 87% are born into autocracy or considerably less trustworthy currencies. 4.3 billion people live under authoritarianism, and 1.2 billion people live under double- or triple-digit inflation." - Alex Gladstein Another brilliant piece from Alex Gladstein and Bitcoin Magazine, this one on the incredible privilege of those inside the dollar bubble, looking out and claiming Bitcoin is useless or is bad for the world. They stand like hypocrites living without any of the problems that Bitcoin is specifically designed to fix, and is fixing. Three stories of those who live and experience the *real* world, give us a very different view of Bitcoin, & why it is critical for all of our futures that we stand behind it and see it succeed.

“one of the main reasons for Bitcoin’s success is something that resonates with us as humans on a much deeper level: the primal elements of its brand, which when combined, turn it into a belief system." - Paulo Sacramento Today we go deeper than the technical aspects of Bitcoin, less about the code and innovation itself, & more about the human element. What is it about Bitcoin that connects it to the primal elements inside us? What makes Bitcoin not a mere technology, but an ideology? And what can it tell us about Bitcoin's long term staying power?
