Is Bitcoin being “captured” by Wall Street? Is it out of reach for everyday people?

Wall Street is buying Bitcoin. But it’s still for the people, argues Executive Director @trey.progressivebitcoiner.org in his latest article, up on our website now!

"The bitcoin mine now accounts for around 30% of the plant's revenue allowing them to keep the prices down for the local town."

Bitcoin: A Lifeline for Everyone, Not Just the Global Elite
Many progressives and mainstream media are getting the wrong impression [again] that Bitcoin is just for global elites and Trump's crypto donors. That couldn't be further from the truth.

Hopefully as a progressive and someone’s who’s devoted his life to fighting unjust systems via nonprofit work, I can help you see the benefit and good bitcoin does as a tool.

It’s not a religion and it’s not some MAGA coin as many pretend. It’s for everyone

This book was literally written for people who say “why should bitcoin exist?”

Let these philosophers explain ⬇️
There's good news. A new academic book, Resistance Money, has compiled over twenty of the most important objections to bitcoin and can bring anyone up to speed on the latest evidence, and the best replies to those objections. Bonus: it's fun reading too!
Resistance Money
Bitcoin is resistance money, empowering its users to resist authoritarians, inflation, surveillance, censorship, and financial exclusion.
