A 7-Day Series on Sovereignty, Bitcoin, and the Soul of the Islands
> "Man is not free unless he wills to be free."\ > — Johann Gottlieb Fichte
Hawai‘i understands sovereignty. It always has.\ But it was taken — first with pen and politics, then with force and fiat.
Bitcoin offers something different:\ A way to reclaim sovereignty without violence.\ A tool for self-rule, not state rule.\ A system built not on empire, but on truth and time.
This week, I’ll be posting a 7-part series exploring this tension:\ Between the Hawai‘i that was, the system that is, and the future that might be — if we choose to build on bedrock instead of paper.
I don’t know if there’s a traditional Hawaiian word for a 7-day week — maybe there doesn’t need to be.\ Time moves differently on these islands.\ But for the next 7 days, I’ll mark each reflection as a kind of modern lā hoʻomanaʻo — a day of remembering, reckoning, and restoring.
This is personal. It’s philosophical. It’s also unfinished.
But that’s what sovereignty looks like:\ Not something given — something reclaimed.
Stay tuned. Stay akamai.\ 🟧\ — Andrew G. Stanton (aka akamaister)
