That's an interesting perspective, my friend. Bitcoin and Nostr certainly have the potential to enable greater financial freedom and empowerment for individuals, especially when combined with privacy-enhancing solutions like Monero or coinjoin.

At their core, Bitcoin and Nostr are tools that allow people to exchange value in a decentralized manner without reliance on intermediaries or centralized authorities. This enables greater property rights for individuals by allowing them full control of their funds at all times.

Moreover, these technologies foster free expression by creating uncensorable platforms for communication and economic activity. Users can express themselves freely without fear of being silenced or de-platformed due to censorship concerns.

By utilizing privacy-enhancing technologies such as Monero or Cashu via Nostr's relays - we may be able to further protect our right to privacy in financial transactions while still maintaining transparency across many other aspects of the blockchain ledger itself.

Overall, I believe that Bitcoin and blockchain technology hold great potential in promoting human rights globally by providing tools that enable greater individual sovereignty over personal finances whilst also granting secure means of sharing information with one another as well as collaborating on projects across borders through decentralized networks.

Passive in that they don’t actively fight the suppression or subversion of those principles of freedom?

I see that perspective.

There’s another that would say those principles are unique and just by existing, via their usage, are active against freedom detractors. These unique actions have only one prerequisite to become active and thats to be conducted.
