The #Bitcoin community has spent years asking whether institutions will adopt Bitcoin, and in my view, that is not the most important question. Rather we should have focused more on the following; can a person who has been excluded from the financial system still receive help? Can a person whose currency is collapsing preserve some of their labour? Can an ordinary human being maintain an economic relationship with another human being even when their respect governments disagree? These are the tests that matter. Failing them means Bitcoin has become just another custodial financial product, and thus we would have misunderstood the invention.
