In an article from our Co-founder @JBanon based on “Web3 is our best safeguard of public liberty. It’s time to defend it.” in @Blockworks_ 👇👇👇

18/18 “Our best ‘safeguard of public liberty’: Defend Web3. It represents our best chance for liberty in this new age. Let’s follow in the Framers’ footsteps and prioritize public liberty.” 🛡️ ✊

17/18 “Web3 is under attack — with bans and crackdowns. Regulators overlook its public safeguards and emphasize potential risks, failing to recognize foundational liberties.”

15/18 “In light of these challenges, Jefferson’s mechanisms are no longer sufficient. We need new safeguards of public liberty.”

16/18 “As Erik Vorhees warned, “Crypto [and thereby Web3] is our rebellion against permission.” Web3 is designed to safeguard against sophisticated threats of the information age.”

13/18 “In commerce, Amazon’s monopoly control is a concern. The FTC’s antitrust lawsuit is a step in combating unfair competition and excessive economic extraction.”

14/18 “The financial landscape shows instability with market crashes and the devaluation of fiat currency, diluting our wealth and purchasing power.”

12/18 “The sovereignty of democratic institutions is also under threat, as seen in the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal, distorting free elections and democracy.”

11/18 “Similarly, the rise of surveillance capitalism sees tech giants amassing and exploiting personal data, eroding our free will by influencing our decisions and purchases.”

9/18 “It is my fervent opinion that Web3 is a liberty tech and our best, new “safeguard of public liberty.“

10/18 “New threats to liberty: In China, the social credit system marries technology-enabled mass surveillance with a punitive social scoring system, allowing unprecedented governmental control.”

8/18 “Web3 is a new liberty technology designed to shield us from the increasingly sophisticated and numerous threats to our liberty in the information age.”

7/18 “Despite this, the primary issue remains unchanged: the concentration of control in few hands and the systematic exploitation of us all.”

5/18 “This was the original “liberty tech,” aimed to restrain governmental overreach and ensure individual rights and freedoms were safeguarded.”

6/18 “As we navigate the modern information age, we face challenges to our liberties, greater in both scope and sophistication than our predecessors could have imagined.”

4/18 “Responding to this insight, the Framers of the American Constitution designed a system with checks and balances across three co-equal branches of government, to prevent corruption of power.”

2/18 💬“Thomas Jefferson and the first pioneers of Web3 have a lot more in common than first meets the eye. Both devised governance systems that upheld “safeguards to public liberty.“

3/18 “More than two hundred years ago, Thomas Jefferson recognized the importance of a free press as our only “safeguard of public liberty.“🔥
