Standing on John Milton's notion turned a strong tenet of Libertarian theory (free press), "self rightening process of the free marketplace of idea". That is, the world be a free market place of idea, and that one day the good idea will outrun the bad ones.

If this is true and it remains the foundation of the modern press(media), then the recent action of theses popular mainstream media houses (CCN, Facebook, Google, etc) on the ban of cryptocurrency can only be called one name, and that is INJUSTICE.

Yes! Injustice, because the same notion that frees the media from government's chains has been incarcerated by these media to prevent the people from gaining financial freedom. Injustice because they have decided to stop a free idea (Crypto) which they find to be taking over the financial world that they are giant stakeholders of. Hence, the fear of the unknown rides their backs.

It is injustice because the top gainers of this new world (digital age), Ted Turner of CNN, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Larry Page of Google among others appear to be the obstruction of the future, perhaps it is not too bright for them.

Yes! The future is here, the blockchain technology. Truth be told, to fully attain the future of "the global village" as described by Marshal McLuhan, it is important that transactions are carried out with ease both locally and internationally without any form of delay. And it is obvious that only digital currency (crypto) can do this.

I hereby urge media/press administrators, government authorities and other stakeholders not to be myopic because the world of Crypto has potential of a win-win situation for all of us.

Finally, to all freedom fighters and lovers of "free states", let us fight this together. Crypto is a free idea and it must be made free.
