Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, was proposed in a whitepaper published approximately 10 years ago. And now, a decade later, the world’s first digital currency designed to function as a “peer-to-peer electronic cash system” by its pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto has managed to attract a huge following of passionate intellectuals who firmly believe in the idea of sovereign digital ownership. Ph.D. candidate, Vlad Costea who is currently studying political philosophy at the University of Bucharest in Romania, is one of the most dedicated Bitcoin advocates.
