Unbanked

Bitcoin has been controversial since its mysterious release by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Some say Bitcoin is only comprised of a small minority of anarchist computer nerds, or that it supports criminal activity as just another Ponzi scheme. Others herald the arrival of Bitcoin as financial freedom for the masses after years of abuse by a centralized banking cartel. Passionate views surround this ethereal yet hard-to-ignore beacon-or-bust proposition. Is Bitcoin a myth or a pathway to mass monetary self-determination? In the endless cycle of fees and information piracy, Bitcoin promises an exit from perpetual inflation, rising prices, and abuse from above. Will people adopt it widely enough to fix the fundamental financial architecture, and trade back convenience for trust, self-determination, and freedom to choose? Unbanked explores these questions and more because, simply put, our future depends on it.
