The Declaration of Monetary Independence (DoMI), which made an impressive debut at Bitcoin 2022 in Miami Beach, will be on display again at Bitcoin 2023. The 9-foot by 12-foot document made a huge impact on attendees at previous conference , with thousands of Bitcoin enthusiasts adding their signatures to the piece of art. DoMI is a 21st century version of the Declaration of Independence, which lists 27 reasons why fiat currency is an unfair and broken monetary system controlled by governments that favor the richest and most privileged. The second half of the document lists 29 reasons why Bitcoin is the fairest and most egalitarian monetary system ever conceived and implemented.
At Bitcoin 2022, DoMI was displayed at the entrance of the Nakamoto Stage, where it attracted the attention of all who entered. The signing got off to a slow start, but after one of the original authors of the document signed, hundreds of attendees began adding their own signatures to the art piece. During the three-day conference, thousands of people signed the document, making it look like an activist street art replica of the original Declaration of Independence.
As Bitcoin 2023 approaches, Bitcoin enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the DoMI revival. The document will once again be prominently displayed at the conference, this time in a 10-foot by 8-foot document with the Lightning Food Court’s “Tick toc next block” background, reminding everyone of the need to separate the money from the state. and to promote Bitcoin as the fairest and most egalitarian monetary system. Attendees can expect the same enthusiasm and excitement that characterized the signing of the DoMI at the previous conference, with many people eager to add their signatures to this historic document.
DoMI is a reminder that Bitcoin is more than a digital currency; it represents a fundamental change in the way we think about money and the role of government in its creation and regulation. As Bitcoin continues to gain wider acceptance and adoption, DoMI will serve as a testament to the power of decentralization and the need for a fairer and more equitable monetary system.
