The Magna Carta.

Written in 1215 by a bunch of barons pissed off by the heavy taxation by King John.

Who forced the King to ratify it through threat of civil war.

Arguably the most powerful document ever written. Whose influence is still found in many national constitutions today.

The Bitcoin White Paper

Written in 2008 by one or more cypher punks, pissed off by fiat money and the slow but steady erosion of individual privacy.

Ratified by node runners the world over.

Arguably the most powerful document ever written. Whose influence will be felt for centuries to come.

Unless we fuck it up

- by not understanding that we are all sovereign individuals first and foremost;

- by not understanding that freedom/privacy trumps convenience;

- by not understanding that there is no 'they' - unless we choose to relinquish our sovereignty to another human-being;

- by being complacent.

If we act accordingly, humanity can achieve the next level of civilsation.

We live in the digital age so the journey to sovereignty starts with digital sovereignty.

One step at a time.

We've got this.

There is no they if everyone understands that in every team there is an I. In Germany nowerdays team is often misunderstood as "Toll Ein Anderer Machts". It used to be " Tun Etwas Aussergewöhnliches Miteinander." Just like in the Bitcoin Comunity. 😀 https://blossom.primal.net/606954e262fc641...

Die Parallelen zwischen beiden Ereignissen/Bestrebungen sind frappierend. Thx for the small history excursion
