# 📖 Satoshi’s Collection
Welcome to the **Satoshi’s Collection**, a curated repository of fundamental books and texts on **Bitcoin, crypto-anarchy, economics, finance, the state and libertarianism**.
This project has been created to preserve and share essential knowledge about these movements, believing that information should be accessible and free from artificial restrictions imposed by the state and intellectual property monopolies.

## 🚀 Cypherpunk Philosophy on Intellectual Property
Bitcoin is, at it’s core and in essence, rooted in the cypherpunk movement. One of the core tenets of Cypherpunks is the **free circulation of knowledge** and the right of every individual to access information without restrictions imposed by intermediaries or state regulations. Intellectual property, in the form of copyright and patents, is seen as an artificial barrier that restricts innovation and grants disproportionate power to corporations and centralized institutions. That’s why technologies like strong encryption, p2p networks, and decentralized digital currency is all developed as Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).
Encryption technology and decentralized networks allow us to share ideas without censorship or permission. However, we also recognize the importance of the sustainability of the very creators that nourish the ecosystem. The production of knowledge requires effort, time, and resources, so we encourage those who find value in these works to **support their authors directly**. This can be done in different ways. Either by sending some value in the form of money, by buying the original copies in digital or physical, or by spreading the word and encouraging others to engage with the creators and their works.

## 🤝 Support the Creators
If you find the material here useful, we encourage you to:
1. **Buy the original books** whenever possible. Independent authors and radical thinkers depend on community support to continue their work.
2. **Donate to creators** in any way possible, many of them offer direct payment methods such as Bitcoin, either On Chain or via the Lightning Network.
3. **Share this knowledge** with those who need it and promote the use of decentralized, censorship-resistant technologies.
Information wants to be free, but intellectual independence needs support.
