Martin Luther
The inspiration behind our name
Martin Luther was a German professor of theology, composer, priest and monk in the 1500s. Luther began to translate the Bible into German to make it more accessible to all the people. His translation of the Bible into German made it more accessible to the people who would not ordinarily be able to read and understand the original text, this had a tremendous impact on the people. Thanks to the recently invented printing press, the result was widely distributed among the people. The translation allowed people to be aware of issues and develop an informed opinion. The translation was a democratizing force towards more freedom for the people.
To us Martin Luther distributed and democratized access to an encrypted document for the people. We see parallels between what he accomplished, and Blockchain technology which aims to distribute sharing and collaboration between people and organizations, and removing the need for centralized points of access and control, giving more freedom, control and sharing opportunities to the people.
Theodore Roosevelt
Daring Greatly
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs. who comes short again and again. because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. and who at the worst. if he fails. at least fails while daring greatly."
Martin Luther King
"The fierce urgency of Now"
Anton Ego
Critic
"There are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defence of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere."
