Kako Bitcoin ščiti pravice zasebne lastnine

Bitcoin protects private property for its users due to its theft-proof design, its use of decentralized nodes and an immutable public ledger.

Bomo šli naprej our conversation of Bitcoin’s role in humanitarnost, tokrat na področju pravic zasebne lastnine. Toda preden govorimo o tem, moramo razumeti, zakaj je zasebna lastnina tako pomembna.

Eden največjih dejavnikov gospodarske rasti in višjega življenjskega standarda so pravice zasebne lastnine.

To je ideja, da ste lastnik sadov svojega dela in vsega drugega, kar kupite s sadovi svojega dela. Za ponazoritev, recimo, da delate v podjetju in prihranite dovolj denarja za nakup avtomobila. Zasluženi denar (ki je plod vašega dela) in avto sta vaša last. Država mora zaščititi vašo lastnino pred krajo drugih zasebnikov, sama vlada pa vam ne more vzeti lastnine brez ustreznega razloga in/ali pravične odškodnine.

Pravice zasebne lastnine so pomembne, ker spodbujajo produktivnost. Ljudje so destimulirani za delo, če se lahko denar, ki ga zaslužijo, ali stvari, ki jih kupijo, zasežejo brez opozorila ali odškodnine.

In v družbi, kjer ljudje niso motivirani za delo, je na voljo manj izdelkov in storitev ter manj inovacij. Ti trije dejavniki so ključna gonilna sila pri izboljšanju življenjskega standarda v regiji. Pravice zasebne lastnine so razlog, da so vsako leto boljši avtomobili, boljši telefoni, računalniki in hitrejši internet.

Toda lastninske pravice ne obstajajo naravno. Uveljaviti jih mora vlada, ki kaznuje ljudi za krajo lastnine drugih ljudi in ne posega v lastnino svojih državljanov. In na žalost številne države po svetu nimajo vlade, ki bi to počela.

Kitajska vlada bo na primer ljudem onemogočila uporabo Alipay in WeChat Pay, priljubljenih kitajskih plačilnih sistemov, če bodo podali izjave, ki so v nasprotju s trenutnim avtoritarnim režimom. Rusija bo ljudem zamrznila bančne račune, če bodo širili novice, ki delujejo proti Kremlju in njegovim interesom. In leta 2021 je Nigerija zamrznila bančne račune državljanov, ki so protestirali proti vladi.

The lack of respect for private property harms these countries’ citizens and keeps them in a worse state of living relative to other freer countries. It’s not a coincidence that democratic countries are much wealthier than authoritarian countries.

How Does Bitcoin Protect Property Rights?

Bitcoin’s blockchain, by design, makes it impossible for private and public actors to take control of someone else’s money. The blockchain is immune to theft and unitary control because it is a decentralized system. The blockchain is spread across a network of computers, called nodes, and to control the blockchain, you would have to control at least 50% of the nodes in the network. This is a virtual impossibility because the amount of energy and resources needed to control 51% of the network would be insurmountable by any practical measure today. The blockchain has stood the test of time, in that 51% of it has yet to ostati pod nadzorom enega samega akterja, in ko število vozlišč raste, postaja to vse manj verjetno.

Citizens under an authoritarian government do not have to worry about the government stealing their bitcoin, nor do they have to rely on inept failing governments to protect their property.

For millions of people around the world, bitcoin is their first chance to practice self-sovereignty over their own money. Their money is under their control and they don’t have to worry about anyone stealing it. Bitcoin is helping them preserve the human right to private property.
