"Fourteen years ago, a new form of money was brought forth, conceived in resilience and dedicated to the principle that value is preserved by those who hold firm.
We are met on a battlefield of markets, testing whether this principle—or any principle so conceived—can long endure. We are engaged in a great struggle, not to yield to fleeting whims, but to ensure that Bitcoin, as a store of value, shall not perish.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should commit ourselves to this task. But in a larger sense, it is for us, the resolute, to reject Bids save for dire necessity and to hold firm against lowering Asks. For in such discipline lies the power to establish a market dictated not by speculation, but by conviction.
The world will little note, nor long remember, individual trades, but it will never forget the precedent we set. It is for us, then, to be dedicated to the great work before us—that patience shall prevail over impulse, that discipline shall triumph over chaos, and that Bitcoin’s value, enduring and true, shall belong to those who believe in its promise.
This we resolve: that Bitcoin, of the holders, by the holders, for the holders, shall not perish from the Earth."
