Founded in 2011, LMP grew from a college independent study project into a bold experiment in decentralized digital publishing. What began at Minnesota State University as a vision for an internet-native media network—built during the early rise of Facebook—evolved through print magazines, online newspapers, cybersecurity battles, and the collapse of traditional media economics. A pivotal moment came in 2013 with the discovery of Bitcoin, sparking a deeper commitment to decentralization, free speech, and blockchain technology. Today, that original vision extends beyond publishing into Web3 and the future of AI, driven by the belief that truly resilient media—and society—must be decentralized at its core.
