In the movie "Matrix", the hero has to decide whether to take the blue or the red pill. The blue one makes him forget, the red one makes him realize the truth about the world. Based on this, Bitcoin is called "the orange pill", because anyone who deals with it becomes aware of the power of Wall Street and central banks in our world. And Bitcoin promises liberation from this.
Mangold describes with knowledge and passion how even he, the literary critic, fell under the spell of Bitcoin and why he believes it is not just a digital currency, but a system of freedom and justice.
