My journey from North Korea to freedom taught me that true freedom is more than escaping physical borders. It’s about breaking free from systems of control. So I see Bitcoin as a tool to help people regain their freedom, not as a matter of being a "Bitcoiner," but as a way to empower individuals to protect their fundamental human rights.

Is she selling anything? Because it sounds like she is catering to a certain demographics.

Thank you for taking time to answer. Curious to know if you like it.
Hyeon’s book is absolutely a work of literary art. By the time I was halfway through this book, I was riveted to it until it was done. Simply couldn’t put it down until we got to the end. I’m a pretty unemotional person, but almost felt like crying several times during the last half of the book. If you live in the west, it’s hard to even imagine what her life has been. She’s clearly extremely smart and now that she’s free will probably have one heck of a career. There are so many takeaways from the book, can’t post them all. But one key take away is how we are all so brainwashed and how hard it is to break free from whatever narrative you’ve been raised with. The smartest among us understand this and use it to their advantage if they’re evil. Hyeonseo Lee will help people understand this with her book, “The girl was seven names” - it’s highly recommended IMO!
Ya it sucks BC like that chance that btc has been co-op'd is like ....more then 0℅ chance but Thankfully also less then 51% chance . Like they can't successfully attack the network with hash power but they can attack our brains with fiat and stuff .

Is Bitcoin used secretly in NK?
I was lucky enough to meet @npub1t8lm...sf7p in Nashville last year. Have just finished her excellent book; highly recommend that everyone picks up a copy and reads it too. Absolutely extraordinary account of incredible courage in the face of overwhelming odds, and the clearest insight I've ever read into the extraordinary North Korean regime. Kudos to her and all her family. View quoted note → image
