Read_661 - Five Examples of Bitcoin's Real World Utility [Trent Dudenhoeffer]

"Today, it’s a trucker protest. What if it’s a women’s rights protest next? A protest against abuses by a country you’re allied with? Who decides? Bitcoin sure as heck doesn’t. Bitcoin doesn’t care about the color of your skin, your political affiliation, the country you’re in, what videos you watch on YouTube, etc. If you play by the same rules that everyone else plays by, you can use bitcoin." - Trent Dudenhoeffer Another Bitcoin Magazine article to start off the week, this one by first time (on the show) author Trent Dudenhoeffer on the concrete, real world examples of the powerful utility to Bitcoin and a monetary system built on top of it.
