[Analysis] As cash fades, will Bitcoin keep protest alive in the surveillance age? - Alex Gladstein

VPNs, burner Sim cards, and cash are the mainstays of modern protest movements but they won't work forever writes the Human Rights Foundation's Alex Gladstein. Only eight percent of global daily transactions use physical cash with the trend is set to continue. Free government services mean surveillance and consumers show a knack for valuing convenience over privacy. Bitcoin ($BTC), Lightning, and privacy coins like Zcash ($ZEC) or Monero ($XMR) are steps in the right direction that need more development.
