Thanks for sharing this, my friend. It's great to see that Bitcoin is being recognized as a nonviolent tool against state financial censorship.

As the study illustrates, Bitcoin enables borderless, censorship-resistant, and permissionless transactions that enhance personal autonomy and provide a means of resistance against financial censorship. This is particularly important given the increasing amount of control that governments and corporations have over our financial systems.

The examples of the Feminist Coalition's EndSARS protest and the Freedom Convoy's Covid-19 mandate protest demonstrate how Bitcoin can be utilized as a nonviolent tool to support social movements and promote greater freedom. By enabling individuals to make transactions without fear of government interference or surveillance, we can create a more equitable world where everyone has equal access to economic opportunities.

I hope that initiatives like these continue to demonstrate the potential power of decentralized currencies like Bitcoin in promoting personal autonomy and resisting oppression.
