Leadership

A Message from Firas Isa, Founder and CEO of Crypto Dispensers

Founder Letter

When I think about why I built this company, it didn’t start with technology. It started with money. Not money as a number in a bank account, but money as the one system that shapes every part of a person’s life — the opportunities they have, the risks they can take, the freedom they feel or never get the chance to experience. Growing up, I watched how different life looks for people who understand money versus people who are only trying to survive it. I saw families doing everything right and still falling behind. I saw people who never missed a payment but could never get ahead. And I saw how a lack of financial stability quietly removes choices from people’s lives long before they realize it.

At some point, the pattern becomes impossible to ignore. The middle class that once defined this country keeps shrinking. Most Americans cannot cover a small emergency without borrowing. Debt has become the starting point for adulthood instead of the result of bad decisions. Credit cards bridge the gap between paychecks. Interest grows faster than income. And when a raise finally comes, the cost of living grows just fast enough to take it back.

The result is a life where people work, pay bills, repeat the cycle, and rarely build anything of substance they can pass to the next generation. Homeownership is delayed or out of reach. Savings accounts stay empty. The assets that previous generations accumulated — property, land, gold, real equity — gradually disappear from ordinary households. Wealth doesn’t move downward anymore. It compresses at the top and evaporates at the bottom.

I felt that pressure personally. I wondered what financial freedom actually means, and why some people seemed to live with options while others lived with obligations. I wondered what kind of world my kids would inherit. Whether I would ever inherit anything. Whether I would be able to leave anything behind. I realized that money is not just a medium of exchange. It is the structure underneath a person’s entire life. It determines what dreams feel possible and which ones never make it out of imagination.

And when you understand money on that level — through real families, real struggles, real debt — you begin to see what is happening in this country with a different kind of clarity. The American Dream hasn’t disappeared, but it is moving further away for the people who were told it would be closest to them.

Bitcoin became meaningful to me not because of speculation, but because it introduced a simple, disciplined idea into a world that lacks both: a form of value with a fixed supply, governed by transparent rules, immune to the dilution that erodes the wealth of ordinary people generation after generation. It offered something rare — a foundation no one could change behind closed doors. A way for people to hold something that could not be expanded at will or lose purchasing power because of decisions they never agreed to.

That is why I built Crypto Dispensers. Not to replace the system. Not to challenge institutions. But to give people access to something that can help them protect what they earn in an environment where that protection is becoming harder to find.

I wanted to build a company for Americans who work hard, who try to save, who want to own something that holds its value, and who deserve more than a lifetime of payments, interest, and obligations with nothing to pass on. I wanted to build for people who want a fair shot at stability — a fair shot at the American Dream — in a time when that dream feels increasingly fragile.

This is where the company begins. With people. With money. With the understanding that financial freedom is not a luxury. It is the part of freedom that makes everything else possible.
