HELLO WORLD
Founding Declaration of the Republic of Atlantis
November 11, 2024
--
Remember, remember the fifth of November, when the American people voted to return Donald Trump to the White House.
I was proud to be one of those 75 million people. Massive congratulations to the President and his family. I wish your administration all the best.
But it does leave me wondering, what now can the rest of us do to take advantage of this newfound freedom and prosperity and bitcoin price going to the moon?
How can we bring these winds of change all over the world?
I think the best way to do that is for us to create our own nation.
A new nation that is internet-native, bitcoin-native, and that has the ability and ambition to invite millions of people from all around the world to join in this grand project.
So that's what we're going to do. But do we need to fight over land?
No we don't need to fight over land, because 45% of the earth's surface today is currently unclaimed by any government: the so-called international waters.
They are no longer international waters. They are no longer unclaimed. So here we go:
On behalf of sovereign individuals worldwide, I hereby claim sole jurisdiction over international waters for the new Republic of Atlantis.
Kay? They're ours now. So, yoink. lol
First order of business, all peaceful maritime commerce may continue as you are. You're doing great, keep it up. Thank you.
Second order of business, any piracy, human tr*fficking, or coercive or aggressive acts, are forbidden and will be dealt with harshly.
Third order of business, we are happy to share our territory with any other startup societies or micronations, other experiments in governance. They are all welcome, no permission slips needed, as long as you fit the non-aggression principle.
We've got big plans for those waters. You'll hear more about us soon.
For a little hint of where we're going to take this, take a look at the laws and bitcoin strategic reserve of El Salvador. They're doing great. We will model some of our laws off of that.
No, we're never going to issue a token. The official currency of Atlantis is bitcoin.
You should probably check out bitcoin.
You'll hear more from us soon.
Thank you so much.
CHRISTOPHER DAVID
PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ATLANTIS

In case you missed our year one recap (episode 138), we'll be rebooting our agent marketplace with bitcoin rev-share in our new v3 platform later this year.
We'll sync that up with the forthcoming UNIVERSAL BITCOIN INCOME program & mobile app for Atlantis citizens.
Oops that hasn't been announced yet. But it will be awesome. Stay tuned
