This last week, ATK Technologies attended the Block 2 The Future conference aboard the USS Hornet in Alameda California.

It was a fittingly historic location for our founder and CEO, Dr. Wallace Lynch, to unveil the Declaration of Digitzen during his speech at the event. His speech followed that of Brock Pierce’s on the current state and the future of blockchain technology.

The Declaration of Digitzen speech emphasizes that we are currently is a state of chaos and despotism when it comes to our digital information. You need only look at the headlines to see that our data is being taken from each and every one of us and then sold to the highest bidder. Facebook, Google, Twitter; all of them are taking our digital assets and capitalizing on them for their own gains.

Digital society has seen exponential growth over the last few years, with billions of people constantly online. All of these people exist as digital citizens, Digitzens, and should have the ability to reclaim the rights that are currently being exploited by big data.

With the Declaration of Digitzen, the mission of the Alpha Token Foundation is very clear: to reclaim the digital assets and wealth that have been taken away from each one of us.

Dr. Wallace Lynch

The Declaration of the Digitzen is a proclamation of the rights of a Digitzen, enlightened citizens of the digital world. We must have complete control of our data to live a more free, empowered life in digital society. The future is decentralization, and blockchain technology allows for an unparalleled freedom to manage and control one’s data, making the need for a Declaration of Digitzens even more relevant and important.

This message resonated well with the audience of blockchain enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and innovators.

The response to this important ideal is vital, for the participation of Digitzens must occur quickly before it is too late. It is imperative to recognize that we have arrived at a crucial breaking point that will either liberate or further oppress our digital freedom

Here are some of the rights in the Declaration of Digitzen:

We shall own the entirety of our personal information, intentional and unintentional. Only if we choose to authorize the use of our information can it be granted. Its utility is within the sole purview of the Digitzen and with nobody else.

We shall also have the right to refuse the binding of personal information to any digital good or service.

We shall no longer be forced to disclose our most intimate data to access the technology or platforms that have, for so long, infringed upon our privacy. It shall be our choice to grant access to our data.

We shall not be forced to trade personal liberty for neither convenience nor utility.

We shall also have the right to decline any form of information blockade.

We shall not grant a tyrannical, centralized source the ability to restrict our speech or opinions. There shall be no censorship against, or from any Digitzen.

We shall be in complete control of our digital assets without losing any value to negotiation, time, or bias.

We shall possess and maintain direct participation without elected officials, operating as a true democracy that encourages and practices verifiable equality.

We shall have the right to preserve and protect all pillars within this digital democracy.
