Between chain analytics companies, BlackRock, Saylor, centralized exchanges/government approval, demonizing/de-listing of privacy coins & wallets....etc, one has to wonder...has Bitcoin been infiltrated by global elite?
First of all, I just saw you asking this question and I've never thought about it, but I also agree that there are many similar questions to you.
Is Bitcoin really freedom money?
Bitcoin is Bitcoin, and the way we view it is just the way we know what we know, and over time the adoption process opens up or maybe in that direction resistance, and this cycle keeps appearing at each stage. A reality that I want to express if it is not free then who is in control?
There are things that I see that complicate the point of view, maybe someone/group manipulates prices but in all honesty they cannot dominate the entire field. And at the individual user level, I feel more adaptable to everything that's going on instead of being skeptical.
