We currently need permission from governments and corporations to interact with money, speech, and intelligence.

Permissionless technologies aim to remove these dependencies and give individuals more freedom and control.

Bitcoin is a form of digital cash that solves the double-spending problem without relying on central authorities.

Open-source AI models are needed to counterbalance the power of large tech companies controlling closed AI systems.

Three key practices: be mindful of services you interact with, try duplicating activities using permissionless alternatives, and don't trust - verify.

Permissionless technologies can benefit activists, human rights defenders, scientists, and artists by reducing censorship and control.

The transition to permissionless systems will take time, but it's important to start exploring and experimenting now.

We need to be cautious about trading convenience for privacy and be aware of how our data is being used by corporations and governments.
