Goal: "To build the tools and technology platforms to open source the next economy."

"A healthy economy in an information age ... empowering us equally ... is decentralized, peer-to-peer and operates by mutual agreement."

Design principles:
Non-centralized rules
Non-centralized database
Non-centralized namespace (like DNS)
Non-centralized address space (like IPv4 or IPv6)
Agreements are made by mutual consent
All levels of participation are sovereign

Open = an even playing field for all participants.

"...reclaiming the power to make currencies with visible rules, decentralized control and tamper-proof data to anyone who wants to use them."
