I'm fundamentally an optimist.
POLITICAL EVOLUTION & BITCOIN POLICY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM | Freddie New
"Bitcoin is both a top down movement and a bottom up movement. So individual people realizing the government isn't going to come and save them and preserving their wealth in Bitcoin is a valid and valuable thing that you can do, but at the same time, we should also engage with our elected representatives and try and educate them to understand the same thing."
