Dear Madam Acting Superintendent:

Reflecting this week, Ripple once again
<https://www.law.com/radar/card/ripple-legal-chief-accuses-sec-of-playing-delay-card-390-76781/>
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-ponzi-scheme-risks-with-crypto-push>
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


*WE THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK DETERMINED*

   - to pioneer noble advancement of BitLicence theory and regulation,
   whereas it is essential to safeguard virtual currency and its potential to
   galvanize international, economic and social advancement of all peoples, and
   - to ensure clarity, principally New York’s BitLicence being the
   preeminent institution with mandate of ensuring that virtual currency
   manipulation (of any sort) shall not burden the common global interest of
   humanity, and that human rights are protected in the jurisdiction of New
   York for all peoples

*AND FOR THESE ENDS*

   - to save succeeding generations from financial fraud and corruption,
   which in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to humanity, and
   - to reaffirm New York’s faith in fundamental human rights, in the
   dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women
   and of nations large and small, and
   - to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the
   obligations arising from BitLicence regulation and other sources of
   financial services law can be maintained, and

   forward-looking virtual currency regulation

   economies, and

   BitLicense members pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with
   the state of New York, the promotion of universal respect for and
   observance of international human rights fundamental to the integrity of
   the BitLicense’s virtual currency regulation.
   -

   Whereas New York reaffirms faith in the BitLicense’s foundational themes
   and the general concept of human right protection. The dignity and worth of
   the human person and the equal rights of men and women are part of New York
   BitLicense protections and standards which correlates to noble

   progress of humanity.

*Article Three*

*The Purposes of this Declaration are:*

   and
   - To take effective collective measures to remove inconsistencies and
   prevent the suppression of human rights or other breaches of BitLicense

   of New York BitLicense law;
   - To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the
