� �
� the journey began 2,863 days ago on a sunny day in Oakland �
� through long troughs of sorrow and hard-won triumphs �
� we arrive at the beginning �
� the Tari genesis block �
� �
� the genesis block is heavy �
� it's full of love, beauty, promise, and ambition �
� of countless fraught decisions and long nights �
� of a desire to build something that lasts for generations �
� of a dream to build a better system than all those that came �
� before �
� �
� Tari is a multi-layered system �
� the base layer is the foundation for a new network state �
� one that is pro-human and pro-freedom �
� its strength comes from the people who choose to do the work �
� of securing the network �
� they are the trailblazers. the revolutionaries �
� **for mining Tari is an act of rebellion** �
� �
� a rebellion against a world that increasingly steals our �
� humanity �
� as we sit in the comfort of our homes, doom scrolling away �
� our time �
� in an intimate embrace with our favorite device �
� being milked of our deepest desires and thoughts �
� and manipulated by saccharine interfaces and slippery algorithms �
� the devices we love unconditionally are watching us �
� �
� every click. every stroke watched by cunning eyes �
� we've accepted this fate in the name of convenience �
� this journey towards oblivion �
� it's tragic, and yet, there is something even more insidious at �
� play: �
� the endless, irrevocable surveillance of our financial affairs �
� **a panopticon where every transaction is a scarlet letter** �
� �
� it wasn't supposed to be this way �
� this new financial system isn't supposed to take away our �
� agency or safety �
� our transaction history shouldn't be a cudgel beating us �
� into obedience �
� our wallets aren't a window into our souls �
� **enough** �
� �
� **in this block. in this moment. we choose another way** �
� Tari is a sanctuary �
� for the enlightened who need refuge from the piercing gaze �
� of endless secret eyes �
� for the visionaries who learn of its magical powers and use �
� it to bend the will of the world in their direction �
� and for those who benefit from it unknowingly because, for �
� them, it's a cog in a greater machine �
� **welcome** �
� �
� Tari is a boundless paradise �
� where we all receive a sacred gift: a mythical cloak of �
� invisibility �
� wrapped in our cloaks as if they were a second skin �
� we are finally free like all humans that existed before us �
� to live our lives in joyous anonymity �
� to protect ourselves and our families from the eyes of �
� infinite jackals �
� stalking our every move, waiting for the perfect moment �
� to pounce �
� to live our imperfect lives without every moment becoming �
� an immutable snapshot �
� to be human �
� �
� from this moment until the last node is silenced �
� Tari is ever-changing �
� we define its culture �
� we define its traditions �
� we have the power to shape it, to fix it, to contribute �
� to etch our code in stone �
� **to become immortal** �
� �
� one day, we pray that Tari will earn everyone's trust �
� and become a part of everyone's daily lives �
� when that day comes to pass, **it will be because of us** �
