How many ways can you say ‘freedom’?
The many languages of Konsensus Network
We can’t achieve self-sovereignty without help.
We must all have access to the message,
and for that, we need language.
How many ways can you say ‘freedom’?
Maximum Freedom
Konsensus Network was founded in 2019 to publish the Finnish translation of The Bitcoin Standard.
Our group of freedom-loving volunteers delivered the first of many books to come. The effort was quickly replicated to translate the Portuguese and Dutch versions of Saifedean Ammous's best-selling book.
Five years later, the network has published over 100 books, including dozens of translations.
Broken Money by Lyn Alden will soon be available in 21 languages!

The decentralized publishing model works. We’ve built a network of ‘nodes’ who want to spread the messages in books like there to people in their language. We’re all incentivized to build our proof of work and reap the rewards.
Put simply, this does not happen in the world of traditional publishing. Only the titles backed by large marketing budgets are guaranteed to succeed in a different market. Penguin Random House doesn’t support the underdog.
Satoshi Nakamoto was an underdog.
Every sovereign individual is an underdog.
Konsensus Network supports the underdog.
We’ve translated lesser-known titles to help seed their message, and we’d like to keep adding to our own proof of work.
If you are an author, or if you love a specific book that you’d like to see translated, get in touch.
Our Maximum Freedom Resource this week is a free consultation for anyone wanting to discuss translated works.
Send us an email, and we’ll arrange a call.
Finally, if you’re a translator interested in working with us on projects like Broken money, get in touch (use the email above).
