THE BITCOIN REVOLUTION MANIFESTO
This document was originally written by me in January 2023 and shared with peers and select politicians as well as members of congress at that time; I decided to publicly publish it on Substack in June of 2024.

"It is with a humble reluctance that I offer these words for the public consideration.
Alas, too much time has passed that we have born silent witness. I can no longer idly watch as the crumbling remains of this once-great republic are imprisoned by weak men.
I hereby call-to-pen all “be-ings” with equal or greater conviction. We no longer have the luxury to remain idle. Recent times have proven that our current form of Government has become destructive of those ends which were once ratified in our name by the forefathers of this great nation- ends we find enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. Namely: the unalienable right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government. The first amendment to the constitution states that it is the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The time for a redress of grievances came and went in 2008. Our political leaders dared to pretend we could stop time without injuring eternity. I would like to warn that math is an unforgiving mistress- for Math, like physics, reigns supreme- regardless of our capacity to fathom it so.
Let us for a moment consider the possibility that our current Form of Government, which is made of fallible individuals, has been co-opted by bad blood. Let us entertain that the “blood” beating through the heart of such corruption is a phantasmagoria keeping us from recognizing the truth. A forgery perhaps directly at odds with our constitution and the guarantees contained therein. Perhaps, it is possible that we have all been duped- including our leaders- to abandon our means to Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness.
I dare to suppose this “blood” has been co-opted by an evil which acts openly to divest us of our Liberty. If this were found to be true, “We The People of the United States” have an obligation to throw off such evil.
Such has been the patient sufferance of history, and such is now the necessity which binds us to history’s repeated cycle. It is with great reverence that I express my patriotism to the ideals embodied by this republic. This call-to-pen is just that- an act of patriotism.
To any thinking individual, it is quite obvious that this ancient, imperial war-machine is broken. To understand how, we must grapple with several inconvenient truths. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
My thesis is simple: Our fiat “money” system is divesting all of us of our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is unconstitutional and we have a constitutional right and moral obligation to abolish it."

Note: I already know I have a typo in the document. I cited the Fifth amendment and in actuality it is the Fourth.
