Bitcoin : the absolute dream of Voltaire ?

Voltaire (1694-1778) famously said, “Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value: zero.” He criticized centralized power — whether monarchs, the Church, or governments — for abusing authority, oppressing people, and corrupting systems.

Bitcoin echoes this Enlightenment spirit: it rejects central banks’ power to inflate currency, resists censorship, and protects individual freedom through decentralization.
