Pursuing Freedom, the True Essence of Blockchain

An early batch of technology idealists, generation after generation, have been doing the same thing. From promoting cryptographic technology from the military domain to civilian use, to publishing the Cypherpunk Manifesto, and later to the birth of Bitcoin, this thread has always been clear: they wanted to build a world that is freer, more equitable, and better protects privacy.

This is not merely some form of idealism. For many people, a free institutional environment itself is the foundation of economic vitality and technological innovation. However, the real world often has too many restrictions, so they chose to seek breakthroughs at the technical level—when the internet gradually came under centralized control, they attempted to rebuild a set of rules using blockchain.

Of course, such people have always been a minority in real society. Even many of those pushing this cause ultimately were not the ones who made the most money. But it is precisely these people who have pushed technology to a higher level.

What they're promoting is not just an industry, but more like a set of values: beyond the boundaries of human society, there are always people trying to raise the ceiling of freedom a little higher.

This is why I'm optimistic about privacy coins. In the next bull market, the privacy track will definitely usher in major development. I remain bullish on $DASH and $XMR
