Bitfinex manifesto
We live in a digital age where we possess the tools to enable individual human freedom like never before.
Yet those same tools can and will –if we allow it– be used against us as the ultimate means of control.
At Bitfinex, we believe it’s vital this never comes to pass.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, from great thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek to legendary cypherpunks such as Phil Zimmermann, Timothy May and Eric Hughes, we commit ourselves unreservedly to the cause of individual freedom.
With this Freedom Manifesto,
Bitfinex makes the following three pledges:
We are committed to building open, peer-to-peer communication solutions to enable anyone, anywhere to interact and transact freely online.
We will work relentlessly to support the Lightning Network and similar technologies and contribute to making Bitcoin the most accessible and most efficient transaction solution.
We will support and invest in the Bitcoin community including developers and white hat hackers, to ensure the strength, resilience and immutability of the Bitcoin network
In embracing these pledges, we invite other like-minded partners to join us as, together, we accelerate the transition to a more open and fairer world.
Freedom in the fullest sense of the word, starting with financial freedom and extending to free speech and privacy through the power of cryptography, distributed systems and open-source software.
To paraphrase the Cypherpunk Manifesto, we write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend freedom, and we’re going to write it.
We believe Cipher ≠ Crypto.
We believe education is the key to create the momentum for positive societal change.
We believe that the permissionless qualities of Bitcoin are the path of least resistance for mass adoption.
We believe cryptography and peer-to-peer networks are the most resilient and battle-hardened technology for increasing freedom worldwide
We believe privacy is a fundamental human right that is sacrosanct, and that freedom of speech is an essential cornerstone of financial freedom.
We believe that Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer network is the best way to provide global financial inclusion.
Watch the Bitfinex Financial freedom tour
The Financial Freedom Tour brings together Bitcoin educators and advocates to share knowledge with local communities across different countries.
Starting in Türkiye, the Tour expanded to El Salvador, where it connected with circular economy projects, universities, entrepreneurs, and some of the country's most prominent Bitcoin advocates.
The goal is deeper financial freedom through education, built community by community.
