Bitcoin the ultimate tool for financial freedom and fighting government overreach?

Learn about perverse funding under Title IV-E, family courts ignoring medical evidence, and qualified immunity shielding abusers. Discover You Are the Power's 100% success in reuniting families through grassroots activism, targeting corrupt officials, and humanizing victims. From Bitcoin's early days as "internet funny money" to its role in decentralizing power, Spike shares why Bitcoin is essential for liberty.
