"In an age of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." This phrase by Orwell, taken from 1984, resonates strongly in our digital age and illustrates the struggle against censorship. Growing centralization threatens freedom of speech and individual sovereignty. States and institutions exploit censorship to control discourse, limiting innovation and diversity of ideas. Bitcoin stands as a powerful alternative to these drifts. Its decentralized architecture protects transactions and information from any attempts at control. By ensuring user autonomy, Bitcoin upholds the fundamental principles of a free and resilient civilization. Resisting censorship is crucial to preserving progress, openness, and creativity. In a world where censorship mechanisms proliferate, Bitcoin embodies a trust technology. This fight for freedom goes beyond economic issues: it lies at the heart of a genuine civilizational battle.
