Part 4/16:
Glenn responds by discussing how Bitcoin's emergence has been perceived—initially as a libertarian asset—limiting broader engagement. Many see it as a speculative investment or a novel way to organize the monetary system, but the political and cultural potential remains underappreciated.
He argues that Bitcoin’s true power lies in its capacity to decentralize everything—technology, finance, and even societal structures—acting as a safeguard against the increasing consolidation of power by governments and corporations. Glenn emphasizes Bitcoin's role as a bulwark against censorship and central authority, framing it as a tool to uphold free speech, privacy, and individual sovereignty.
