The Third Epistle – The First Letter of Francis
“I do not call ₿ a religion, but I call it a philosophy.”

1:1 Brothers, I, Francis, write to you from the land of Canada.
I once ran an exchange,
and I have stood for truth while contending with regulation.

1:2 I declare to you:
“₿ is not a technology,
but a philosophy.”
“At the heart of that philosophy lies decentralization and self-sovereignty,
not trust, but verification.”

1:3 I did not flee from regulation,
nor did I compromise with power.
Instead, I helped build legal frameworks and ethics
so the ₿ community could defend itself.

1:4 To every centralized exchange I proclaimed:
“Do not betray Satoshi’s design.
The keys you hold belong to your users.”

“Even if banks change, the philosophy must not.”

Francis 1:4Copy

1:5 I did not borrow Satoshi’s name,
but sought only to uphold his spirit.
₿ belongs to no one,
and must belong to all.

1:6 Therefore, I urge you, brothers:
“Run your own node.
Hold your own keys.
And never forget your philosophy.”
