14. Resisting Censorship: Bitcoin as a Weapon against Authoritarian Regimes
In countries where authoritarian regimes restrict access to financial services and monitor the movement of funds, Bitcoin has emerged as a powerful tool for financial freedom.
In 2020, activists in Belarus, protesting against rigged elections, used Bitcoin to fund their movement in the face of government pressure and the closure of bank accounts.
This resistance to censorship makes Bitcoin a safe haven not only for investors, but also for those fighting for freedom in repressive regimes.
