Why We Matter

Why does our mission matter? In an increasingly digital and global economy, the principles of sound money are more important than ever. Sound money provides a stable store of value, protects against inflation, and promotes economic prosperity for all.

Our Journey

Our journey began with a recognition of the critical role that sound money plays in our economy and our society. Our founders, experienced in the fields of finance, politics, and technology, saw an opportunity and seized it. They wanted to educate the public about the importance of sound money and, therefore, began to advocate for policies that support its use.
