Hello Bitcoin Forum users!
This is my first post, so I'll start with an introduction, and then throw down my 2c about Bitcoin today. I am a young Canadian who is increasingly interested in the intersection between tech and global affairs. I am very glad to be living through such a transitional time, and very interested in its progression.
As of the last few years we have seen quite a bit of coordinated global activism. With many countries protesting different issues, there seems to be a common suspicion of crony capitalism and its effects on the average joe. With recent anti-austerity protests in the EU reaching a fever point, the focus is more and more on the financial sector and its rampant corruption.
I pose that that the rise in Bitcoin and Alt-Currencies is, in part, caused by a general shift away from the established financial order. This historic shift is being super charged by innovative implementations of technologies such as alt currencies. And it's a sight to behold.
Thank you for reading.
