"I have always looked for ways to make the world better, and I have always done that from within the systems I recognized as broken. For most of my adult life, I have expected the government (one example of a broken system) to make rules and laws that nudge the system closer to justice, fairness, equity, and peace. Isn't that the best we can hope for?"
"One reason why I encourage you to learn about Bitcoin is so you can question the current system through another lens. Learning more about how and why Bitcoin works is only one half of the journey. Bitcoin also provides an opportunity to examine the unexamined, study the water around us, and ask tough questions about the systems we have always lived with. It presents the opportunity to ask questions we never really ask."
A progressive perspective recognizes systemic injustice and seeks improvement from within broken systems, often relying on government intervention to nudge society toward justice, fairness, equity, and peace. The possibility of fully fixing or replacing entire systems rarely seems plausible for many people. Bitcoin offers an alternative lens to scrutinize monetary and financial systems that typically go unexamined. Learning how and why Bitcoin works prompts fundamental questions about money, control, and rightful governance. That questioning reveals why incremental changes may not solve entrenched unfairnesses and enables imagining systemic replacements that could remove persistent inequities.
