"Free from initiation of force."

What if that force feeds based on my weakness? What is that force is targeted specially for specific "IQ" and target audience? Because once they're conquered rest would be cake walk.

Can psychological forces be defined as intrusion of freedom?

We do not exist in a state of absolute freedom and wishing for such is an effort in futility. We are constrained by the laws of nature and biology.

The Non Aggression Principle does indeed cover psychological coercion:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercion

Which has specific legal and philosophical definitions.

You will have to be more specific with your questions and define what you mean by "psychological forces" with an example.

Freedom is the ability to do whatever the hell you want so long as it doesn't physically hurt or criminally deprive anyone else of wealth or property.

Can deceiving someone into doing something based on their weakness your with one's intelligence can be defined as crime?

Freedom is the absence of force.

OMG! Then Bitcoin is totally opposite of FREEDOM. It is a force that we find impossible to resist once we understand what Bitcoin is.

OOPS!

Freedom is free from initiation of force and violence. The amount of freedom can thus be measured based upon an individuals and their societies respect for the non-aggression principle.

Unfortunately, suggesting as much in today's society is met with derision by many individuals inculcated with statist propaganda. There is nothing extreme about the Non aggression principle, as it is merely a more thoughtful derivation of the golden rule. We aren't trying to impose our beliefs upon anyone and are perfectly happy if you want to create a communist or socialist society with consenting adults and use Bitcoin as an instrument to assist your endeavors. We wish that others would permit the same respect towards us as well.

What if Bitcoin is intruding my freedom?

Bitcoin is merely an open source protocol that you could choose to use , not use , or modify at any moment. How could it possibly be intruding upon your freedom?

We all have different definition and perception of freedom. There is no unified "definition" on which everyone agrees. Even if there would have been one then it would have been end of freedom. Pardox!

They say, "Bitcoin is your key to financial freedom. Freedom from corrupt government etc etc etc."

Have you ever thought about your definition of freedom? That is tough question to be answered in real life. At least you can try to define your definition of freedom for money/finance. What it is?

Example: I like freedom of sending money to any part of world without being dependent on anyone. I like holding my money on own etc.

Please, stop and think for a moment as this question is raised to brainstorm 'your' definition of "financial freedom" rather than accepting something actively propagated by organization and people with vested interest.
