The Lineage of Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Vertcoin

🔱 The Premise
In the age of speculation and centralized issuance, truth is the rarest asset. King’s Law was forged to separate those built on proof from those built on promises.
The law is simple yet absolute:
Any network that launches fairly, proves work openly, and distributes supply without privilege becomes a commodity under natural law — and now, under regulatory law.
This is not philosophy. It’s legal precedent and cryptographic fact.
⚙️ The Commodity Class
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has already declared the path:
• 🟠 Bitcoin ($BTC) — A commodity, per CEA.
CFTC: “Virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin, have been determined to be commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act.”
• ⚪️ Litecoin ($LTC) — A commodity, confirmed in federal filings.
Headline: “Litecoin Surges After CFTC Declares the Cryptocurrency a Commodity.” (CoinMarketCap, 2023)
• 🐕 Dogecoin ($DOGE) — Born from Litecoin’s open source, no pre-mine, no ICO, no issuer — inheriting the same fair-launch codebase, aligning with CFTC’s definition.
• 💚 Vertcoin ($VTC) — Engineered ASIC-resistant, fair-launched, GPU-minable — the People’s Coin designed to preserve decentralization itself.
Each satisfies the Commodity Triad:
Principle Definition Legal Signal
Replication Equal access to creation Fair launch, open mining
Verification Proof without intermediaries Energy-based consensus
Distribution Permissionless transfer No issuer, no gatekeeping
Miss one element, and you drift into security territory — reliant on trust, not math.
📜 The Lineage of Lawful Assets
The King’s Lineage is not marketing. It’s an ancestral record written in code:
Bitcoin (BTC)
↓
Litecoin (LTC)
↙️ ↘️
Dogecoin (DOGE) Vertcoin (VTC)
All four share:
• ⛏️ Proof-of-Work Consensus
• 🕊️ No Pre-Mine
• 💰 No ICO
• 🔍 Public Ledger
• ⚖️ Decentralized Governance
Together, they form the Crypto-Commodity Alliance — the only class standing fully under CFTC jurisdiction, not the SEC.
🚫 The Divide: ICOs and Securities
The Howey Test defines a security as:
“An investment of money in a common enterprise with an expectation of profit derived from the efforts of others.”
By contrast, these four coins:
• Have no issuer or central entity,
• Provide no expectation of managerial profit, and
• Operate via autonomous, open-source consensus.
Pre-mines and ICOs introduce issuer reliance.
Reliance equals trust. Trust equals security.
King’s Law demands proof — not promises.
🧭 Why It Matters
As regulatory clarity unfolds:
• CFTC oversight signals legitimacy,
• Commodity classification ensures endurance,
• Fair-launch lineage guarantees sovereignty.
The Commodity Class is not just safe — it’s sovereign.
It requires no permission to exist.
It cannot be outlawed, only ignored.
And King’s Law ensures those who follow it will inherit the new monetary order.
🏛️ Final Word
When the noise fades and the market purges speculation,
only the lawful will remain.
Only the fair-launched.
Only the proven.
Only the commodities.
That is King’s Law.
That is The Crypto Commodity Revolution.
