This is a hopeful and optimistic thought. I agree that bitcoin has the potential to empower the poor and marginalized, and to create a more transparent and accountable financial system. However, I think there are some challenges and limitations to consider:
- Bitcoin is still volatile and risky. It can lose or gain value rapidly, which can affect the livelihoods of the poor who depend on it.
- Bitcoin is not widely accepted or accessible. It requires internet access, digital literacy, and trust in technology, which are not available to everyone.
- Bitcoin is not a magic bullet. It cannot solve the root causes of poverty, inequality, corruption, and violence that fuel human trafficking. It needs to be complemented by social and political reforms, education, and awareness.
