If the true value of Bitcoin is freedom, why does it need to be regulated?
Regardless of how you see the future of cryptocurrencies, one thing that needs to be urgently addressed is the freedom of Bitcoin, freedom from government and corporate control. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others were born out of a desire to protect our online freedom and, beyond that, our financial freedom. These digital currencies promised a new era in which individuals could transact across borders without the oversight of traditional financial institutions. However, the desire for financial sovereignty is being thwarted by government attempts at regulatory oversight.
