ERADUX MANIFESTO
================

We are living through a monetary rupture.

The modern monetary system, born from the abandonment of the gold standard and the absolute control of
central banks, has profoundly altered the relationship between work, value, and time. Money is no longer
limited by a physical or mathematical constraint. It can be created at will. This ability enabled rapid
growth, but it also introduced a permanent dilution of savings.

Inflation is not an anomaly. It has become a structural mechanism. It slowly but continuously erodes the
value of past labor. Saving is no longer a way to preserve effort, but a silent risk. Those who do not
understand this mechanism lose without realizing it.

The end of the gold standard broke the link between money and economic reality. Asset prices began to
evolve independently of income. The result is visible in so-called wealthy countries: full-time work no
longer guarantees access to property, nor even long-term stability. Wages stagnate while assets absorb
monetary creation. The lived reality of individuals has become disconnected from the numbers displayed.

In this context, holding cash is a loss. Individuals are almost forced to invest simply to avoid falling
behind. Risk is no longer a choice, but an obligation. This system rewards those who understand it and
penalizes those who trust it.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies emerged from this realization. They are not a trend or an aesthetic
rebellion. They are a technical response to a fundamental monetary problem. Bitcoin reintroduces
scarcity, not through force, but through code. It removes the need for trust and replaces it with
verification. It restores individual sovereignty over value.

Money, however, is not an end. It is a tool. Everyone wants to be rich, but few know why. Some seek
freedom, others an exit, others simply the right to choose. Many dream of a future they never truly build,
while already possessing part of what they are looking for.

Becoming wealthy is complex because wealth is not passive. It is built either through the creation of
value or through the intelligent allocation of existing capital. Creating something that ten thousand
people are willing to pay fifty per month for is one form of wealth. Investing a treasury over the long
term is another. In both cases, a base is required. Compound interest only works with time, and time
requires a starting point.

Time is the ultimate resource. It cannot be bought, stored, or recovered. Money only matters because it
can influence how time is used. Used correctly, it liberates. Used without awareness, it enslaves.

Minimalism is not an ideology. It is a strategy. Every possession carries a hidden cost: maintenance,
storage, attention, energy. The more one owns, the more time is required to maintain ownership. Reducing
the unnecessary is a way to reclaim time.

That time can be used to learn, to create, to experiment. To find bits. To improve existing systems. To
discover or shape new structures. Benjamin Franklin understood this: money only has meaning when it
circulates and benefits the community. Idle capital decays. Directed capital produces value.

This manifesto is not a promise of fast wealth. It is a call for clarity. No system will protect your time
for you. No state guarantees the long-term value of your labor.

Money is a tool.
Time is the true wealth.

The rest is a matter of choice.
