Maybe you thought you'd act differently
maybe you thought you'd see it coming
but the moment is here
and it's time to make a choice.
At its End of Empire
The United States imagines the power
to regulate the world's first great digital currency:
Bitcoin
to provide a framework for its existence
a technology that questions all previous frameworks
fitted for its straightjacket.
Helping the United States is a group of lobbyists and corporations
calling themselves The Foundation.
Their mission is a performance-
to both agree with, and maintain an independence from,
regulatory power.
But you can't have it both ways.
UnSYSTEM is an international group of activist developers led by
Amir Taaki
Concerned by the Foundation's centralized development and advocacy,
they're developing a crypto-wallet that runs
on a completely independent software stack.
This wallet runs on the backend libbitcoin
the command tools SX
and the Obelisk blockchain server architecture.
A "thin" wallet.
the premier version of which will include privacy and security features
trustless mixing, and the foundation of a distributed identity protocol.
Help us cover the next four months of full-time development.
Help us make this implementation a line in the sand.
Are you watching?
Are you listening?
Bitcoin is what they fear it is.
A way to leave
to forbid
to make a choice
There's a system approaching perfection
just in time for our disappearance.
So then
let there be Dark.
