How do we re-decentralize the internet? By what means can we break the censored, centralized, surveilled “cloud” into a thousand encrypted, distributed, and private pieces? That is the mission at the heart of Start9Labs. Don’t miss this awesome discussion to learn more.

Read_445 – A Human Rights Response to Bitcoin Critics [Alex Gladstein]

“Contrary to what the critics would have you believe with all of their scary language about fraud and risk, when I send an on-chain Bitcoin transaction to you, it will get to you, no matter what. There is no point of censorship, seizure, or control.” – Alex Gladstein
A great throw back from Alex Gladstein where he makes a response to the old and tired criticisms of Bitcoin. Is it stupid to think we would want to hold our own passwords to our money, or it is a revolutionary new tool in the global quest for human rights and individual freedom? A great response for the next time you come across and ignorant critic, who needs a dose of truth.
