The neutrality of Bitcoin
The year was 2013, and the younger but equally a believer in Bitcoin Andreas Antonopoulos asked for a space to speak during a conference dedicated to Bitcoin. After much begging, he finally provided him with 30 minutes and, in front of an audience almost empty, Antonopoulos took the opportunity to provide several of the ideas most interesting and in force on virtual currencies.
#ICYMI: Here’s the first live talk I ever gave, and it was to an empty room! ? I had begged for a speaking slot, and when they finally gave me one, it was at the same time as the headlining keynote.

So, Antonopoulos began his talk by speaking about the neutrality of Bitcoin. The same is in one of the basic principles of the chain of blocks of BTC. That is to say, the non-discrimination of users participating in the same, by a different approach to his form of participation in the network. Resulting in that should not matter the religion, origin, social class, sexuality, culture, or any other characteristics of the users, to establish the terms and conditions of use of Bitcoin as the fees collected by the miners. But that the same should be determined only by objective factors such as the size of the transaction executed. In this way, Bitcoin is not converted in the currency of a nation or a culture, but a currency neutral within the reach of all people in the world. What is one of the main features that will allow the adoption of BTC by people of all countries.
The adoption of the cryptocurrencies according to Andreas Antonopoulos
And that is, to Antonopoulos the cryptocurrencies are not as attractive to the inhabitants of the first world. Therefore, the citizens of european countries and the united States, have the advantage of conducting transactions with currencies strong. In countries with infrastructure-financial complex, and access to technology and basic services hard to come by in other parts of the world. For this reason, for Antonopoulos, Bitcoin will be adopted in the first place by countries in the developing world. Where, things like a stable value of the national currency, banks or electrical service, are not at all overcrowded. So, in the midst of a crisis like the one that tend to affect these countries, you can give a process of mass adoption of Bitcoin, so long as it meets four conditions: Bitcoin must be better than the national money they already have people in that country.There should be No risk of imprisonment or persecution for the use of the virtual currency.Must possessed the technology to work with Bitcoin.The Blockchain of Bitcoin should be neutral and decentralized. Seven years later, it seems that the adoption of the who spoke to Andreas Antonopoulos is taking place slowly. At least, that seem to reveal the statistics of the increase in the number of unique addresses in the Blockchain of Bitcoin. Which show an increase of 10 million addresses in the last year, for a total of 50 million. The first conference on Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos appears to be fulfilled little by little.

Reminding us that the accomplishments of Bitcoin, are a consequence of its neutrality. So it is the duty of all users to the defend it.
