Bitcoin Is Not Inevitable – It Needs You

Bitcoin promises financial freedom, privacy, and resistance to censorship — but these values aren’t guaranteed. In this talk, Lucas Ferreira explores real-world examples where Bitcoin has empowered activists and movements, as well as moments where it fell short. He shows how developers, educators, designers, and advocates can all play a role in strengthening Bitcoin’s cypherpunk foundations, reminding us that its future depends on what we build together.
