Soon, all serious grant-makers will be using Bitcoin—perhaps not for every gift, but for grants that need to go fast, where other money just cannot go—especially to power the individuals doing democracy work in difficult political environments. Just as human-rights activists took Twitter from niche to global through events such as the Arab Spring, human-rights activists may play a similar vanguard role in mainstreaming Bitcoin use. If we look at the adoption of encrypted-private-messaging (Signal, WhatsApp) by activists, which was rare in 2010 but nearly ubiquitous by 2020, we could reasonably speculate that Bitcoin, which was just beginning to take off among activists in 2020, will be a standard currency for human-rights activism and beyond by 2030.
