Digital Rights are Human Rights. As millennials who grew up in a reality where the digital realm is intertwined with every part of daily life, there is an imperative for us to fight on this new frontier. I urge you to fight for human rights. Fight for freedom to transact. Fight for Bitcoin. 
“In 2008 I began to despair, that there was no real pathway to improve American systems. That our democracy had been replaced by an oligopolistic system of capitalism. I read an article in the New Yorker about the decent of American democracy into a system of oligopolistic politics, that articulated my fears. The basic premise was that capitalism had transitioned from the American system of economics to our system of governance when corporate political contributions became protected “free speech”. The impact of this was to transform our free-market democracy into an oligopolistic political system in which only corporate entities were in the driver seat.“
In 2008, I graduated from high school and headed to UC Berkeley to study engineering. The financial industry was in full meltdown, an endless war was raging in Afghanistan, Obama was running for President for the first time, and BitTorrent was the only way to access movies online (Netflix still delivered DVDs via USPS).
