Gabriel Kurman is the author of the book Bitcoin Circular Economies, and today he tells us how Bitcoin is transforming communities around the world. He explains that the traditional financial system forces people to live in the short term, devaluing their work through inflation and restricting their financial freedom. However, Bitcoin offers an alternative by allowing individuals to store value without state interference, transact without intermediaries, and plan for the future with money that cannot be inflated. Examples like El Zonte in El Salvador, Bitcoin Ekasi in South Africa, and Jeri in Brazil show how Bitcoin circular economies are changing lives by encouraging saving, entrepreneurship, and sustainable economic growth.

Furthermore, Kurman highlights that Bitcoin represents a unique opportunity to renegotiate the social contract, as people can now choose where to live and work without depending on inefficient governments. He warns that those who control the traditional financial system have already understood Bitcoin and seek to restrict it through regulations like KYC and state-issued digital currencies. For this reason, he emphasizes the importance of education and practical adoption: studying Bitcoin before buying it, using it in daily life, and promoting circular economies. Bitcoin not only protects individual wealth but also fosters a freer and fairer world where people regain control over their own money.
