I'm convinced that programmatic protections work better than traditional approaches. Here's the thing—we build around the principle that code creates certainty when institutions can't.

But here's what people miss: "ownership" isn't fixed. It's not a guarantee stamped in stone. It's an interpretation that shifts with pressure, regulation, and whoever holds power at the moment. What you truly own is what the system can't arbitrarily take away—and that's where executable code becomes your actual shield, not paperwork.
