Subject: Universal BitLicense Declaration on Virtual Currency & Human Rights
To: cypherpunks
Dear Madam Acting Superintendent:
Reflecting this week, Ripple once again
https://www.law.com/radar/card/ripple-legal-chief-accuses-sec-of-playing-del...
shares concerning comments and approaches to respecting their Bitlicense
award. Even more, many experts are concerned
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-17/nyc-miami-seen-facing-pon...
about MIA Coin and resulting NYCCoin disasters.
Madam Acting Superintendent, on August 4, 2020 as part of our Conditional
BitLicense application we submitted a draft of the Universal BitLicense
Declaration on Virtual Currency & Human Rights.
- Today this memo is to re-new our obvious approach to virtual currency
innovation in New York. Together under your leadership, we should be
leading the world in the principles of modern cross-border
BitLicense logic.
- Madam Acting Superintendent, this type of stuff matters. The
Deceleration aims to level the playing field for all and impacts the future
of women and girls with respect to financial inclusion.
- At the very least, New York and your office should be embracing such
thoughtful approaches to support future generations and protect virtual
currency from market manipulation. Madam Acting Superintendent, we implore
that if some version of the Declaration was enacted in 2020, the world
would be a better place today.
Kindly find a copy of the Universal BitLicense Declaration on Virtual
Currency & Human Rights

below. We will be in contact with your office this coming week to engage in
dialogue on the Declaration's feasibility forward.
Very respectfully yours,
Gunnar Larson
