The birth of Bitcoin truly liberated my mind and broke the confinement of my mind. Make the impossible possible. I believe that the highest state of freedom is the freedom of thought, and the decentralized thinking brought about by Bitcoin infinitely magnifies this freedom.
It didn't start from Bitcoin but Bitcoin is getting all the praise because it did it with the trending technology which was the internet. The world was getting digitalized and for we to transact decentralizing using the internet was the breakthrough. Before Bitcoin people didn't trust the banks just that they didn't have better alternative. In my country we have those that don't make use of banks but they're quite rich or living well which means they had the money and needed to store/protect it.
The problem isn't that they don't know how to operate the cards or apps that they'll need to access their money but just that they know the system is controlled and can't be trusted. They didn't need to have to take permission to access their funds or get restricted from the hard eaen money. This set of users keep their money in their house or buried them. This wasn't such a perfect alternative which is where Bitcoin comes in.
With bitcoin they can access that full control over their funds not having to worries about the government seizing them or getting restricted from access them. Bitcoin made it more simple & easier which is what makes it the best alternative to the banks.
Yes, it turns out that all our assets are controlled by a centralized financial system. They are just a bunch of data on the ledger of the banking system. The centralized authority can arbitrarily change the data in the bank account book. We are insecure in our wealth. After the birth of Bitcoin, we can store our wealth in the form of Bitcoin. In some form, we truly have assets that we can control, and we truly have the freedom of wealth management.
