Simon Dixon, a cryptocurrency investor and influencer, expressed that Bitcoin has "liberated" him from the Federal Reserve and may serve as a tool for "financial sovereignty," enabling individuals to regain control over their finances. Dixon made this statement in a January 3 post on X.
"Bitcoin has liberated me from the Federal Reserve," said Dixon, crypto investor and influencer. "For me, and countless others, Bitcoin has fulfilled its promise as a tool for financial sovereignty."
According to Dixon, Bitcoin does not rely on any specific currency for participation. "You trade using the fiat of the market you’re in," he said in his X post, emphasizing that there is no dependency on one global reserve currency. He was responding to a question about how Bitcoin frees people from the Federal Reserve's control, addressing concerns about Bitcoin’s denomination and its reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Bitcoin is widely regarded as a decentralized and secure digital asset, often positioned as an alternative to traditional monetary systems. Trust Machines reported that Bitcoin prioritizes security and decentralization through its Proof of Work consensus mechanism and write-only ledger. The network uses Layer 2 protocols, such as Lightning, to support scalability while maintaining its decentralized structure.
The Federal Reserve, founded in 1913, serves as the central bank of the United States. It is responsible for conducting monetary policy, regulating and supervising financial institutions, and providing banking services to the U.S. government. According to its website, it uses tools such as setting interest rates, managing money supply, and overseeing systemic risks.
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.
