Imagine a world where money moves freely, without borders or middlemen telling you what you can or can’t do. That’s the promise of Bitcoin—a digital currency that isn’t controlled by banks or governments. It’s freedom in your pocket.
But with great power comes great responsibility. In Putin’s People, Catherine Belton reveals how Russia’s elite, including Rosneft, strategic sectors, insiders and KGB-connected figures, used financial systems to move billions and shape global politics. Now, #Bitcoin offers a new tool that could bypass sanctions designed to hold such regimes accountable.
Does this make Bitcoin bad? Not necessarily. It’s a reminder of how innovation can outpace regulation. While some might misuse Bitcoin, it also gives people in oppressed regions a lifeline—a way to protect their savings and avoid corrupt systems.
**Can Bitcoin strike a balance between financial freedom and accountability, or is it destined to remain a gray area for both innovation and potential misuse?** Let’s talk!
