“The number one reason why people leave Syria is not the bombs or the food or the cold, it’s because they want to find educational opportunities for their children,” Mr. Møller explains. “Every refugee is a migrant.

Comparisons to Bitcoin are bound to fall apart upon closer examination. For instance, Urbit has no blockchain, and Bitcoin's ownership structure is based on computer power, not federated cryptography.
Digging a bit deeper, Urbit is actually more free than Bitcoin, because the latter is easily eaten by the biggest fish in the sea. Urbit, on the other hand, could only ever de-decentralize if all 255 galaxies were owned by a single person, which is about as likely as all of the Eastern Hemisphere being owned by a single person.
... is that not the hallmark of a great product?
