Our Mission
An aspiration is a hope-filled goal.
Our aspirational operational objectives include:
- Ossify an ethos of doing good for others into the social layer of Bitcoin.
- Deliver an economically obvious, frictionless ecosystem for bitcoin giving.
- Sustain an ocean of bitcoin treasury intended for giving until 2140.
- Channel a consistent river of bitcoin grants to non-profits until 2140.
- Solid-state Bitcoin as a Top 10 charitable organization by total assets intended for giving.
- Transform every non-profit balance sheet to accept and hold bitcoin.
- Ignite a circular economy of tithing incentives for miners, developers, and everyone for shared values of Bitcoin.
At the nakamoto of Bitcoin are shared values.
Just. Fair. Equitable. Inclusive. Freedom. Liberty. Choice.
The rule-set treats everyone fairly, without judgement, prejudice, or rent collection. The same rules apply to every participant—rules without rulers. It is a voluntary, infinite game where participants can opt-in and know their contributions will be valued, or opt-out anytime and their choice respected.
Honest. Reliable Trustworthy. Honorable. Open. Accountable.
The network never stops working for others; relentlessly protecting you and yours. Incentives align where your own self-interest can also serve the interests of others.*
Teammate. Protector. Friend. Strategic. Aligned. Empowered.
