Simon Dixon, a crypto investor and influencer, said that Bitcoin was designed to provide individuals with "true ownership" of their money, independent of banks, government control, or centralized monetary policies. Dixon made this statement in a January 26 post on X.

“Bitcoin was created to give you true ownership of your money—free from banks, free from government permission, and governed by a fixed monetary policy that no central authority can alter,” Dixon said. “While anyone can use Bitcoin—whether an individual, corporation, government, or even a central bank—no one can control or change it. It’s money built for freedom.”

Dixon's comment was in response to an X user's remark: "I thought the point of Bitcoin was to avoid government manipulation," referencing recent developments where several governments are considering or adopting Bitcoin as a geopolitical asset. Dixon emphasized that Bitcoin was designed for "true ownership" and described it as "money built for freedom," highlighting its decentralized system that allows use by anyone without granting control to any entity.

According to James McWhinney's report for Investopedia, Bitcoin functions as a decentralized digital currency, operating independently of central banks or governmental control. It relies on a peer-to-peer ledger system, enabling secure transactions without intermediaries and providing an alternative to traditional financial systems.

Trust Machines reported that Bitcoin's decentralized network makes it highly resistant to attacks since no single entity controls the blockchain. The cryptocurrency uses cryptographic methods such as asymmetric encryption to protect transactions and ensure user privacy. Transactions are immutable; once recorded, they cannot be altered, ensuring the integrity and transparency of the blockchain. Additionally, Layer 2 protocols like the Lightning Network improve scalability without compromising security.

Dixon has invested in over 100 crypto companies, including Kraken and Coinbase. He creates crypto content on X and YouTube and is the CEO and co-founder of BnkToTheFuture, a regulated crypto securities business.
