Bitcoin saves lives

🇻🇪In my experience as an activist fighting against Nicolas Maduro's #dictatorship in #Venezuela, #Bitcoin can be the difference between life and death.

Here are a few reasons why all activists worldwide fighting against dictatorships should use #BTC to fund their fight for freedom:

⚪️It's anonymous. Dictatorships like nothing better than being able to follow the money. With BTC you are safe because no transaction can be traced to your name. This can be the difference between staying free and fighting, or in jail and tortured.

⚪️It's fast. If you're fighting a dictatorship, you can't wait two or three days to verify an international bank transaction. BTC is fast, and that speed can make the difference when it comes to, for example, getting a friend out of the country to avoid jail.

⚪️It's valuable. Dictatorships often have destroyed economies and devalued currencies. BTC is excellent as a store of value so that activists don't get poorer every day.

⚪️It is free. You don't need any bank, often state-owned, to approve paperwork so you can open an account. You can do it from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.

⚪️It has no borders. You can connect immediately with anyone in the world to make a transaction.

⚪️It takes the remittance business away from dictatorships. Dictatorships have turned remittances into a business. Many times, this money sustains the economies of countries. With BTC, that business is over.

✊When fighting against a dictatorship, BTC can be the difference between life and death, freedom and prison. Use it, and teach others to do so.
