Individual or collective level: Bitcoin is an alternative.

But countries aren’t gendered, they may be oppressing them but that doesn’t make it patriarchal. Also, not all credit schemes are oppressive and often the leaders of the countries receiving the credit can be the corrupt ones oppressing the people of their own country and taking the loans to enrich themselves.
Countries aren’t gendered: true, but 99% are run by men on top of men.
Yes, a lot of these countries are in the hands of corrupt men.
I don’t say there aren’t corrupt or powerful women too, but the majority of state and finance power is in male hands. And so Bitcoin emancipates from financial patriarchy.
