Bitcoin or any "cryptocurrency" has nothing to do with "human rights". You can keep it, but you also can choose not to. Human right is something you cannot easily revoke. For example, slavery was historically recently prohibited in the UK. Since then, you cannot sell yourself as a slave even if you are willing to.
- WalterBright 10y ago> you cannot sell yourself as a slave even if you are willing to. That's because human rights are inalienable, meaning they can neither be taken nor given away.

- ommunist 10y ago"Human rights" were introduced historically very recently, including concept of their inalienability. Concept of "justice" is much older. Thank you for clarification, I really like the word "inalienable".
- WalterBright 10y agoHuman rights have always been there, it's just that recently they were discovered (not invented).
- ommunist 10y agoCant find any human right on me, or with microscope. Guess this is pure speculation, used for human resources management.
- humanrebar 10y agoHuman rights are things that are important even if violating them is legal. Slavery was very legal and very wrong because people have a right to be free. The practical difficulty of violating a right is beside the point when discussing justice.
- ommunist 10y agoSpeaking of wealth in this context, I want to have inalienable right of not owning any wealth, because very idea of owning anything harms spiritual progress.
