"Don’t trust; verify"—a principle both moral and practical,

a call to honor the dignity of each person.

For to remove the right to verify is to insult their sovereignty,

forcing trust where transparency is denied.

In money, above all, this truth stands firm:

what cannot be verified invites corruption,

and trust becomes a tool of control.

Satoshi saw clearly what history has taught:

the central bank, trusted to safeguard,

has again and again breached that trust.

Debasement, inflation, unseen hands shaping the future

without consent or scrutiny.

But Bitcoin asks not for trust,

it offers verification—open, clear,

a system where the truth can be seen by all. 

The root of the problem is trust,

and the answer is to remove that need.

To live in a world where you cannot verify

is to live in a system that undermines your agency.

Only in systems where verification is possible

can true freedom and accountability thrive.

Don’t trust; verify—

for in this, we reclaim our power,

and ensure that no hidden hand can steal what belongs to the people.
