I hear that. I would offer that Bitcoin *is* free, in that one *can* use it freely and (more to my initial intention) the *price of Bitcoin* is a free market.
There will always be authoritarianism, censorship, and overly controlling centralized entities. In one sense, banks today don’t even have a choice but to control and KYC everything, or they risk legal issues.
Much of that will always be true; Bitcoin will continue to exist. And in existing, it is free, and we are free (knowingly or not) to adopt it.
Thanks for getting me to think harder about this 🙏✌️
