Nobel Laureate Hails Bitcoin As Economic Liberation Force In 2025

Nobel Prize-winning economist drops bombshell endorsement of Bitcoin as ultimate financial freedom tool.

The Unshackled Economy

Forget traditional banking systems—Bitcoin just got the ultimate academic seal of approval. The decentralized network cuts through government monetary policies like a hot knife through butter, bypassing inflationary pressures that have plagued fiat currencies for decades.

Financial Sovereignty Revolution

Peer-to-peer transactions eliminate middlemen entirely. No more waiting for bank approvals or paying outrageous transfer fees. The blockchain doesn't care about your credit score or banking history—it just works.

Global Access Unleashed

From remote villages to urban centers, Bitcoin's borderless nature creates economic opportunities where traditional finance failed. The unbanked finally have a seat at the global economic table.

Meanwhile, Wall Street bankers are still trying to figure out how to charge commission on something they can't control. Some things never change—except maybe everything about money.

Award Highlights Bitcoin Role

The Nobel Committee’s decision puts Machado at the center of both political and economic debates. According to the committee, her work has rallied many Venezuelans against repression.

At the same time, Machado has described Bitcoin as a tool people used to protect savings, send remittances, and avoid state-controlled exchange rates. That claim was made during a 2024 interview with the Human Rights Foundation.

For the first time in history, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a Bitcoiner.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, and also to @HRF who continues to explain to the world what is so obvious to so many-

Venezuela’s Economic Collapse And Its Fallout

Venezuela’s economy entered a DEEP crisis after 2016 and through the next several years, with hyperinflation and a sharp drop in output. Reports show years of runaway prices and a steep fall in the bolívar’s value, driving many families to seek foreign currency or alternative stores of value. Large numbers of people left the country and many more relied on informal markets and remittances from abroad.

Based on reports and interviews, ordinary Venezuelans used bitcoin not as a speculative asset but as a working solution to daily problems. It helped some to move money across borders when official channels were closed or unreliable.

Machado and other activists have argued that peer-to-peer crypto markets can let people access funds without going through state-controlled systems.

Machado’s international profile has brought allies and critics. Reports note contacts between opposition figures and senior US officials, and observers say Machado has ties with US conservatives, including US President Donald TRUMP and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Machado has denied that her movement is directed from abroad and she has framed outside support as solidarity with Venezuelan citizens facing repression.

Bitcoin’s recent price swings have drawn fresh attention to its real-world use. According to market data, a sharp sell-off pushed the asset as low as $102,000 after open interest on derivatives fell by about $12 billion, sliding from $47 billion to $35 billion.

Buyers later stepped in and prices climbed back toward about $115,110, an intraday rebound that left Bitcoin up more than 3% on the day in some reports.
