Bitcoin gets Wall Street’s attention. But its power lies in aiding oppressed peoples like mine.

Wall Street is now in the Bitcoin game. On Tuesday, one of the world’s most important trading bodies announced it was creating a suite of indexes that would track cryptocurrencies. The move by S&P Dow Jones Indices follows other major developments mainstreaming Bitcoin, such as when the NFL’s No. 1 draft pick put his entire multimillion-dollar signing bonus into crypto last week and when no less than Sotheby’s announced this week that it will accept cryptocurrencies in an upcoming auction.
