Why Shuken matters! (Shuken Manifesto)

January 16, 2023

Let’s start with a brief snapshot of the WHY:

  • Trust is gone at all levels (governments, banks, inflation, etc)
  • You feel watched and controlled 24/7 and don’t want to be at the mercy of fake honeypots
  • You want to be in control but don’t know how
  • Market is fragmented with too many solutions but no one fits all your needs
  • The need for a new canvas to thrive and build outside the fiat and legacy world
  • Because not everyone needs to be an expert in tech and or money to be free and sovereign
  • “Fix the money, fix the world” requires our commitment to create the tools to make it happen
  • Decentralized, Decoupled and Distributed are the new standards to build on!

…Shuken (主権) means sovereignty in Japanese, and that is the bedrock of everything we do here. We believe that the path to freedom and prosperity is to help and empower the individuals towards the best possible sovereignty. This is only achieved first through education, awareness, and a strong sense of community, so that we can help each other achieve the almost utopian dream of becoming true sovereign individuals.

“For the first time, those who can educate and motivate themselves will be almost entirely free to invent their own work and realize the full benefits of their own productivity.”(Sovereign Individual Quotes)

We strongly believe that true sovereignty starts by being in control of your money (accepting, spending, investing, storing, etc), so our mission is to help build and spread technologies, systems, and values that the Bitcoin revolution has brought us. The more distributed power there is and the more Sovereign we become, the better societies we will create outside any corruption or authoritarian controls. WAGMI!

It is no longer about “Not your keys, not your coins” or “Not your node, not your rules” so we are building the real SaaS (Sovereignty as a Service) product for the Bitcoin era.

Shuken Matters, Be Shuken, Be Sovereign!
