The Case for a Bitcoin Sovereignty Zone in San Francisco
San Francisco sits on the ancestral lands of the Ohlone people, yet both Native sovereignty and true property ownership have long been denied. This article proposes a **Bitcoin Sovereignty Zone** — even a single city block — where property taxes are suspended or returned locally, residents keep real ownership, and the economy runs on Bitcoin. Anchored in Ohlone leadership, such a zone would not be reparations or dependency, but **sovereignty in practice**: wealth retained locally, energy turned into freedom, and ownership protected from endless extraction. Bitcoin makes it possible. The Ohlone make it legitimate. San Francisco makes it visible. (*Written with the help of Dr. C, my AI collaborator and sounding board.*)
