In many countries, it is illegal for women to have a bank account, or even work, while the men learn, earn, and create independence for themselves.
Trapped in a restrictive, oppressive, domestic cage, these women have historically been forced to do as they’re told, with no freedom to make a living, develop professional skills, or cultivate a sense of self, let alone create financial independence.

Bitcoin is fixing this. Leveraging Bitcoin’s growing network, and their smartphones, these women can, and do, find jobs online – secretly for now – and get paid. In Bitcoin.
They become copy editors and transcriptionists. They proofread, do data entry, and take surveys. Remotely, and quietly, they do anything that’s doable online. Bitcoin offers them an exit option, an offramp.

Bitcoin demolishes their cage. Today, gradually.

In the hundred-plus countries of authoritarian, repressive and inflationary regimes, primordial forces are being unleashed in a one-way torrent of increasing human liberty, one impoverished, caged human at a time.

While lurching in fits and starts for now, the power of the movement is unstoppable because it rides upon, and accelerates, our Darwinian propulsion towards freedom and survival, enabled by sound money.

Fate-changing topological shifts – the Arab Spring, Brexit, Bitcoin – can quickly render the powerful weak, and the powerless strong.
