LETTER FROM PAPA GOOSE

Censorship and sound money - The 2 major catalysts for people to get involved in Bitcoin. It’s not a motivator to many because we have fiat money dependence - a growing disease. Bitcoin is a movement started by a passionate few wanting true freedom. Then movements evolve into leaders solving real problems. The masses take notice and participate too. Leadership and innovation, fighting for a better system for the people got us to today - it is just the beginning.

Will you be one to jump on the lifeboat soon or will you be one to join the party after the masses? We’re excited to help you disconnect and discover more throughout these pages.

The cryptocurrency and blockchain industry has gone through plenty of ups and downs which parallel the beginnings of the dotcom and Internet evolution. The demise of FTX and others in this nascent digital economy mimics the banking failures of 2008 - the problem that Satoshi Nakamoto built the Bitcoin network to solve and give us options. Leaders and entrepreneurs continue to buildlet’s find the good ones together. We encourage you to keep it simple and think of this new revolution as an evolution of the Internet, the way it was intended to be - more decentralized.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can get to places around the world where fiat currency cannot. Think outside of your fiat comfort zone and put yourself in the place of people in unstable, third-world countries that don’t have a choice but to look for another currency to conduct commerce with each other and earn a living.

We will publish stories from this point of view - the search for sound technology in Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, blockchain, and digital assets. The biggest challenge will be the criteria we develop to include the blockchain trilemma while exploring what else is developing. NFTs, DeFi, MetaVerse, Data Transmission, and more are all relevant parts of the technology. We’ll find some good ones and some won’t make it - don’t take anything as financial advice. Along the way let’s have fun, make money, and build relationships with each other.

It is all an experiment and no one really knows who will win. This is technology at its finest in a free market - we will see what the markets want - what the people want!

As George Gilder, describes in his book, Life After Google, whoever owns the networks wins! Now you get to own your piece of the networks. This is the inherent incentive that is built into decentralized networks. Own a piece of the community network that you help build!

The lesson in the fable of the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs - Don’t be greedy - Don’t kill the Goose! We will mix in articles on how to be the best stewards of our assets, living a digital lifestyle. Let’s all be personally responsible so new laws don’t encroach on our freedoms - compliance is freedom insurance.

Cheers to the People!

Papa Goose
