About us
Team
Jon Chenot | Founder
Founder of CitadelTheory.com, an opensource community platform for podcasts, coaching, masterminds, and events that help bitcoiners improve their lifestyles by leveling up their mindset, health, and relationships.
A surfer and extreme sports junky traveling the world to host parties, retreats, and co-working houses where adventurous bitcoin enthusiasts and other freedom lovers gather to connect and build out a deeply connected community.
Mission
Citadel Theory's mission is to lay the foundation for a network archipelago of interdependent breakaway communities by building a global brotherhood of self-actualized Bitcoiners.
We do this by collaborating online and gathering in person for masterminds, celebrations, retreats, and adventures. These enhance our growth and help us to level up in all aspects of life.

Our vision is a citadel in every city.
A community-based network of activated bitcoiners throughout all the most beautiful and energetic parts of the world.

Educate

Principles
Personal Agency Development
We believe in the sanctity of the human soul. It is the locus of intention, our resolute decision to have and act. This is the bedrock of human freedom that restores the agency of our lives into our own hands.
Strategic Lifestyle Design
We are a rag-tag group of surfers, sailors, snowboarders, skiers, skaters, shooters, authors, content creators, business executives, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs who choose to have the very best. We get to have our cake and eat it too. We live purpose-driven meaningful lives that are productive and impactful on the world while enjoying all the thrills, beauty, and abundance that this world has to offer.
Dynamic Community building
“Behold how good and how pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity.” Community is the foundation of our citadel. The social bonds of shared values, common experiences, and mutual exchange of ideas create lasting relationships that function as both the means and reason for our citadel-building efforts.
Health and Wellness
Sunlight good. Animal based foods and skin care good. Skilled movement, strength, and mobility training good. Overuse of pharmaceuticals in the form of vaccines and other narcotics bad.
Radical Honesty
“Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.” R.W. Emerson
A relentless search for truth requires that we speak honestly with one another and not hold back. We speak the truth in love to each other in order to improve our way of living in the world and become the best version of ourselves.
Self Reliance
“A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages.” R.W. Emerson
We prioritize personal responsibility and value independent thought and creativity.
Personal Development
We aim to improve our competency in all fields of knowledge and embark on paths of mastery to better serve ourselves, our family, and our community. We seek to become renaissance men who are skilled and knowledgeable in a wide variety of fields and subjects.
Honor
Our word is our bond. We hold each other accountable to our commitments and seek to be a band of brothers ready to go to war for our community when the call comes.
Competence Hierarchy
We join forces because no man is an island and we need to play on each other’s strengths to succeed. We use believability-weighted decision-making whenever possible and grant more weight to those who have demonstrated a proven track record of competence in their area of expertise.
Pro-Humanity
We advocate for human flourishing and aim to build advanced civilizations in harmony with nature. We oppose and resist depopulation efforts.
The woke mind virus is a destructive force today. We aim to nullify its impact by making it irrelevant in our lives and building a community that values truth, cause and effect, and respects natural forces.
Masculine and Feminine Duality
Men and women embody complementary differences. We are beautifully different creatures from our bodily nature, interests, emotional intensity, and suitable roles in family and society. We celebrate these differences and encourage them to flourish in our children and in one another.
Having Fun
If you’re not having fun you’re doing it wrong. We always try to be the fun and bring the party in any situation. Sure, this is a revolution, but what good is a revolution if you’re not having any fun?
Family Good
We want to raise the most loving, healthy, and beautiful families possible. Our primary purpose is to procreate and set up the next generation for long-term success. We love children and want to be as fruitful as reasonably possible.
Wealth and Power
We acquire store holds of wealth in bitcoin, gold, land, and other useful tools and resources. We use the superior monetary technology of Bitcoin to gain strategic advantages over our competitors and enemies wherever possible. Building a war chest of wealth, tools, and resources is essential to our survival and provides a higher standing for our descendants to build upon.
Decentralized Digital Protocols
We build on open-source software whenever possible and use the bitcoin network and it’s layer two technologies to transact and exchange value. We contribute to Bitcoin and nostr education and onboarding to help others on their path to greater agency in life.
