It was once believed the Earth was flat and lay at the centre of the universe.

Along came Eratosthenes, Copernicus and Galileo. Human knowledge fell one level deeper down the rabbit hole; and so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.

Empires boast that the sun can never set over their dominion.

But empires do dissolve, power fades, only ideas remain; and so castles made of sand, melts into the sea, eventually.

It is now accepted that governments dictate the terms of freedom and high priests wield the power to create and destroy fiat monies. Along came Chaum, Merkle, Dai, Back, Szabo and Finney; and upon their shoulders sits Satoshi.

Each understood that castles made of sand, slips into the sea, eventually.
