Cryptosovereignty Quotes

“The private key consummates a form of power that assures, proves, and protects its privacy with no exceptions beyond the math which creates it. This is not for our unwillingness to violate such systems, but because of the total imperium of mathematics to which such systems are beholden.”

“The goal of Bitcoin is to fundamentally disengage traditional forms of sovereign power, law, and the violence they must always contain in order to create something better and more fitting for our times.

There are no exceptions.”
