Crypto Empowers Personal Sovereignty Over Money and Identity
One thing normies get wrong about crypto: It's not about technology, it's about human values. It's not the hash, electricty, ZK, cryptography. Crypto is so You to Own Your Life: your money, your reputation, your relationships. You. Not banks, nor state, nor companies.

Financial Privacy Must Be Default, Not Surveillance
Would we accept a reality where our phone calls are routinely recorded and scanned to surveil us? Never. Even when fighting crime, we’d expect these steps to happen only with a judge’s order. So why is it acceptable when it comes...
