Building a Bridge to Financial Sovereignty – ALTCOIN MAGAZINE

Our vision is a borderless financial system built on open, decentralized protocols. The new ShapeShift Platform maintains fidelity to this vision through a non-custodial model in which customers are sovereign over their assets.

The crypto financial revolution will not be realized by a new set of custodial kings. You control your keys, you control your crypto. To us, this is not a slogan, but a mandate.

Looking ahead, we see digital crypto finance integrating further into — and then consuming — traditional analog fiat finance. The world’s financial infrastructure is, right now, being recast upon a borderless, digital foundation.

As this unfolds, a great many economic sophisms are to be washed away: among them, the superstition that money must be centrally planned. We believe humankind will thrive and prosper as this power is brought back to the individual.

Further, we maintain that all humans have the default right to financial privacy, as they have the same right to privacy in their speech, their relationships, and their thoughts. We will continue fighting for this right, though for now we are barred from expressing it in our product.

Five years on, the new ShapeShift emerges — a unified platform for crypto finance, and through which we hope to humbly serve and further the self-sovereignty of our users.

We welcome you to join us in this new frontier at ShapeShift.com.
