From the Pirate Party to the Crypto Revolution: Vitalik's View on the Empowerment Mission

【Crypto World】Ethereum founder Vitalik recently shared deep reflections on the nature of cryptocurrency. He believes that since the birth of cryptocurrency, it has carried a mission — to empower humanity. And this goal has never wavered.

Interestingly, the concept of “empowerment” is actually much older than cryptocurrency. Long before the emergence of digital currencies, the Pirate Party philosophy already regarded empowerment as a core value. In other words, the crypto world is continuing and practicing a much older philosophical tradition.

From this perspective, Bitcoin and Ethereum are simply reinterpreting this philosophical ideal through code and algorithms. The technology has changed, but the core of the ideal has never changed — enabling everyone to control their assets and data, which is true empowerment.
