I can't call Bitcoin a social movement when the social movement aspect is secondary to most people. In other social movements people are attending rallies, make petitions, contact legislators, have political candidates. In Bitcoin social movement we just have some guys with a few thousands twitter followers write how banks are outdated and Bitcoin is the future.


People are free to express their personal opinions, and you are free to challenge their opinions. We shouldn't be getting rid of anyone.

The social movement is generated by the individuals in their organization in relation to certain ideals, whether they are revolutionary or not, but they generate a change, in this case bitcoin is a great "weapon" to
be implemented as a new approach, it breaks paradigms and that makes it complex and difficult.

So as individuals within each of our social environments we have not been able to organize ourselves to make this social movement based on bitcoin effective. There is already noise in some places, countries and several individuals try to wake up bitcoin users so that they do not see it only as an asset to earn money.

bitcoin is a cryptocurrency but there are social movements that are created during the time where bitcoin became popular and example of the movement could be the bitcoin haters and bitcoin lovers or the bitcoin supporters .
there are people that are involved between this two but are not involved in a formal organizations  . they only let thier voice heard online , in social media's or in the forum . 

The community is not calling for rallies on the streets but because Bitcoin investors are breaking free from the government's chain of control which is why having a celebrity in the Bitcoin community is making holders proud to welcome them in the community and switch to laser eyes.

Celebrities I follow do have laser eye for once on their profile pic a lot have followed this even Michael Saylor and this is to raise up to $100K movement.

I don't think that bitcoin or any other cryptos is a social movement neither a part of any social movement. Because bitcoin is a decentralized market, no one also controls bitcoin or leader behind bitcoin and nobody even knows the real identit6 of who invented the bitcoin.
Everyone in the bitcoin market or even the speculators knows what bitcoin is and the risks behind it. The only goal of bitcoin is to become a digital currency and can be used as a payment of any goods or services offered.

Bitcoin started as a software solution for payments on the internet. In that way, it is a novel solution to an economic problem. It has always had a social and political angle due to the cypherpunk background. It empowers individuals in ways that can be enlightening for those who understand it. It also leads people to want to spread the information in ways that others also benefit for it. This is why it is a social phenomena.

A movement doesn't necessarily need some kind of organization to carry it forwards. Individuals and groups can form movements about a certain phenomena in ways they like. For example, Bitcoin movement has been spearheaded by President Nayib in El Salvador. In a lot of other countries, the exchanges and open source developers do it.

So its a social phenomena with geographically distinct movements of their own, all held together by the internet community.

There's a community of people who are interested in Bitcoin for all sorts of reasons, and sometimes they can unite and organize events or encourage local legislators to make Bitcoin and other cryptos legal. But this isn't enough to call this community a social movement, IMO, because it lacks the common ideology. The interests align sometimes, but some people care about Bitcoin because they think it'll make them rich, some believe in the idea of decentralization and adhere to values of the Austrian economists, others are very privacy-focused and like it that Bitcoin can be sent without IDs, and I'm sure that within the community there are people from all parts of the political spectrum. There's also no formal organization behind Bitcoin or cryptos specifically, it's more about the community of users with Bitcointalk being a place where you can talk with lots of people from this community.

I think this forum is enough as a form of organization, if we were to stray far from that, we will end up not following the essence of what bitcoin is, which is decentralization.

Your bitcoin are your money and you have complete control over them if you have the private key. Basically bitcoin is not an asset made for those who are anti-government with all its centralized systems, but bitcoin is here to help people have new payment alternatives in today's modern world. The virtue of bitcoin is the decentralization of your own finances with the security and privacy that comes with it. But unfortunately not all governments legalize its function as a currency in certain countries, including many Asian countries.
