 the word right is only in the constitution once
is in the ART 1, section 8. clause 8

what it does is gives authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries 
 i love Abraham Lincoln's description of this

he said: this clause, this word, “right” provided the fuel of interest (self-interest) to the fire of genius, INVENTION. 
 so now you get to own it 
 securing this natural right of ownership
provided incentives and created a new way to distribute resources
no longer were resources distributed by violence 
now they are distributed by ingenuity and hard work 
 SATOSHI blows my mind

he didn’t protect his invention with traditional patent rights
he released the Bitcoin software as open-source
allowing anyone to use, modify and distribute it freely

OWN IT

bitcoin belongs to its community
bitcoin belongs to everyone
bitcoin belongs to the people 
 Satoshi has a broader philosophy of INNOVATION

not individual, but collective. collective ownership 
 community access & participation over proprietary control 
 no country can force him to disclose himself to get credit for his invention 
 #Bitcoin belongs to the people 
 Satoshi you’re unique 
 How can I? I’m not spending my own ifcoiner money, and public property taxes.

 Pretending to be a private citizen?
That’s a lie and you know, which causes all sorts of paradoxes and blindspots for things to slip through the cracks, walking through borders they would better be screened, but some corrupt public servants have.

What do you do?
