🔫 [Analysis] Bitcoin is a Weapon - Hector Rosekrans

Civilizers are those who control the commons with force. Historically, the high seas have been the chief method of controlling commerce, particularly with the British and now with U.S. carrier strike groups. History also teaches that cheap and scalable methods tend to beat out larger, more centralized systems like the U.S. in Vietnam or the U.S.S.R. in Afghanistan. The invention of RSA did as such, creating simple, effective means of securing information for the masses. Digital commons are dominated by bulky and centralized systems today, yet they remain bound to the laws of history. The invention of digital scarcity with Bitcoin ($BTC) and other systems alters the game, cutting at the heart of centralized entities. Real economic value can be transported through systems outside of the norm, moving the commons back into the hands of individuals.
