Talking about pragmatic human rights: Fiat money exists as legal tender in many countries in one form or another. No shop keeper can turn you down for wanting to pay with Dollars. With Bitcoin that's a different story.
While I wholeheartedly agree with all the benefits a currency like Bitcoin can offer, I think we're a long way from being able to use Bitcoin as an embodiment of basic human right.

- otheotheothe 10y agoThat's not true, my local german bakery simply doesnt accept big euro bills with the premise it could be fake money, which is nonsense as the smaller bills get faked more often, shit like this can't happen with bitcoin. They also dont accept debit cards so u can be screwed if u have only a 100 eur bill with you..
