🆓 [Analysis] Bitcoin's whitepaper gave us liberty - let's not give it back – Charlie Shrem

Such a decentralized crypto is markedly useful in countries like Venezuela where inflation rates are out of control. Charlie warns that we should make sure we don't trade our personal liberty for short-term comfort. Trusting all of one's money in government-controlled money is like handing someone else the keys to the future and hoping for the best.
