The Democratic People's Republic of Goetzman

Owl Reserve Note · Series 2030 · In Goetzman We Trust

One Hundred Secret Bucks,
backed by the full faith of the Owl Reserve.

The official, fully collectible currency of the regime — featuring Supreme Treasurer Michael Goetzman, hacker, conference architect, and reluctant monarch.

Front of the $100 Owl Reserve Note: Michael Goetzman crowned and robed as monarch, holding a scepter.
Back of the $100 note: three friends carved into a Mount Rushmore parody, captioned 'One Time at Burning Man'.

State of the Regime

🏛️ The Treasury

Presided over by Supreme Treasurer Goetzman, who runs the economy the same way he runs a conference: with suspiciously shiny badges and an unreasonable amount of lore.

Solar panels on every hackerspace roof. The national grid is powered entirely by good vibes, dust storms, and the residual heat of a thousand CTF flags being captured.
