About the Wisdom Bank Network
A Personal Message from One of Our Co-Founders
Throughout a distinguished 20+ year career, I held the esteemed position of Managing Director of Trading at a premier US bank, where I successfully oversaw portfolios of government and agency bonds. As a seasoned market maker, I facilitated transactions with large institutions, buying and selling securities on their behalf. However, my life took a dramatic turn on 9/11, a day that will forever be etched in my memory. I was on a phone call with a friend who worked in the World Trade Center’s North Tower when the first plane tragically struck the building. Sadly, I, along with many others, lost numerous friends that fateful day. The world has never been the same since that devastating morning.
One crucial lesson I’ve gleaned over the years is that large corporations wield significant influence and boast a disproportionately loud voice, often leaving the smaller entities and individuals marginalized and overlooked. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in today’s economic landscape. The crippling effects of inflation are disproportionately affecting ordinary citizens, who are struggling to make ends meet amidst skyrocketing prices of essentials like groceries, rent, utilities, and gasoline. Meanwhile, it appears that our leaders are more preoccupied with everything except providing tangible support to their own people.
The inaugural three words of the US Constitution are, “We the people.” The government’s authority is derived from the people, and their voices are meant to be heard. There is no distinction among us; every individual is a sovereign, albeit without a crown. As eloquently stated in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Our founding fathers would be beaming with pride if they were to witness the inception of WBN, a beacon of democracy that amplifies the voices of the common man. As one of the proud co-founders of WBN, I firmly believe that the world is in dire need of more altruism. We, the founders, are united in our conviction that WBN embodies the essence of a token that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.
