Bitcoin is not just about freedom from interference; it requires active participation
Advocates praise Bitcoin’s freedom from interference while deriding “positive” freedoms to act on free will. But Bitcoin requires both.
Negative freedom (also known as liberal freedom) is freedom from interference. There can be a master (a king, central authority, government, etc.), but as long as the master is benign and does not interfere, you are considered free.
