To the Children of Tomorrow,
As you read this letter, perhaps on a significant milestone of your life like your 18th birthday, know that it comes from a generation that once played under the sun and watched the stars without the glow of screens illuminating every corner of our existence. We are a generation of parents from across the globe, who dreamed of a brighter, more connected future for you.
When we were young, the concept of a digital world was just emerging. Mobile phones were rare, and the internet was a new frontier, accessed in brief, precious sessions that competed with landline phone calls. We marvelled at each technological advance, unaware of how deeply it would come to shape human connections, economies, and personal freedoms.
The year 2008 marked a significant pivot in our journey with the introduction of Bitcoin by the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto, whose identity remains a mystery to this day. This was not just technology but a philosophy—an embodiment of the desire for a financial system that could operate independently of the turbulent waves of global economies.
This era ushered in what we know as the decentralized web, or Web3, aiming to return to an internet that is free from central control, where information is permanent, access is unfettered, and personal data remains personal. We watched this unfold and placed our bets—literal and metaphorical—on technologies like blockchain to secure a portion of freedom for your generation.
With this letter, we pass on to you not just our hopes but tangible assets accumulated from our investments in these technologies. We aimed to provide you with alternatives to traditional pathways, to empower you with choices—whether in pursuing education, securing housing, or starting ventures of your own.
Alongside these assets, we offer you a repository of knowledge—articles, blogs, and guides—that we have compiled to help you understand and navigate this landscape. We encourage you to use these resources wisely, to learn and perhaps to teach, to grow the seeds we have planted into a garden of possibilities for your generation.
As you stand on the threshold of what we hope is a renaissance of your own making, remember where you came from—a world striving for connection and meaning beyond digital transactions and algorithmic predictions. Use what we have given you to build not just a life of comfort, but a life of purpose.
Cherish these gifts, be they wisdom, knowledge, or wealth. Be bold in your pursuits, and gentle in your impacts. We, the parents of the world, believe in your potential to redefine the future.
With all our collective hopes and blessings,
Your Ancestors
