At the age of 23, while most people were still figuring out what to do with their lives, Richard Heart had already retired. Not because he inherited wealth, but because he built it—fast. A natural-born entrepreneur, Heart launched multiple successful businesses before the legal drinking age in the U.S. From affiliate marketing to early ad tech, his ventures made him a multimillionaire while he was still in his early twenties. He left the business world to travel the globe, reflecting on life, philosophy, and what truly matters. Along the way, he wrote SciVive—a self-help book packed with practical life advice on health, wealth, and longevity, offering timeless lessons for anyone looking to level up.
But Richard Heart isn’t just a businessman turned philosopher. He’s a crypto OG.
Back when Bitcoin mining still took place on regular CPUs and rewarded 50 BTC per block every 10 minutes, Richard Heart was minting coins directly to his computer. He understood early what most would only grasp a decade later: that blockchain technology was more than just digital money—it was an escape hatch from corrupt systems.
In December 2019, Heart launched HEX, the first blockchain-based Certificate of Deposit (CD)—a sort of digital high-yield savings account designed to reward long-term holders.
From the very beginning, HEX was met with fierce resistance. Bitcoin maximalists labeled Heart a scammer. Critics on Crypto Twitter and influencers with massive followings called HEX a Ponzi or pyramid scheme. The mainstream crypto media repeated these claims without investigation, painting Heart and his project as dangerous outliers. The smear campaign was relentless. But the data tells another story.
Despite the coordinated opposition, HEX went on to deliver one of the most spectacular returns in crypto history: a 10,000x price increase within its first bull cycle. All this while being suppressed, censored, and buried in rankings. It didn’t matter. HEX stakers won big—and Heart was vindicated, at least in the eyes of his growing community.
And yet, the war was only beginning.
CoinMarketCap, arguably the most influential ranking site in crypto, continuously placed HEX at position 201 or worse—regardless of its market cap. At its all-time high, HEX should’ve been ranked just behind Ethereum, possibly even surpassing it in economic impact and community engagement. Yet it was buried—on purpose—on page 3 of the listings, out of sight for the average investor.
Then came the gas wars. When Ethereum’s gas fees exploded—thanks in part to protocol updates like Berlin and London—HEX transactions became prohibitively expensive. Richard Heart knew that if HEX were to survive, it needed a new home. And so he built one.
Enter PulseChain—a full system-state fork of Ethereum, launched in May 2023. The blockchain duplicated all ERC-20 tokens, smart contracts, and wallet states. Users received free copies of their Ethereum-based assets on PulseChain, effectively creating the largest airdrop in crypto history. But this wasn’t just a tech flex. Heart envisioned PulseChain as the “Freedom Chain”—a decentralized, scalable alternative free from the influence of hostile regulators and centralized gatekeepers.
To fund this revolution, Heart launched a Sacrifice Phase, where participants gave up assets in support of freedom of speech and received PLS tokens in return. A second Sacrifice followed shortly thereafter, this time centered around freedom of movement and the right to gather—a direct counterpoint to the global lockdowns and restrictions seen during the COVID era of 2021. This campaign supported the creation of PulseX, the first DEX (Decentralized Exchange) on PulseChain. PulseX includes a built-in buy-and-burn mechanism that continuously reduces its supply, making PLSX increasingly scarce over time.
It was bold. It was disruptive. And for the powers that be, it was threatening.
Two months after PulseChain went live, the U.S. SEC filed a lawsuit—not just against Richard Heart personally, but also against his three major crypto projects: HEX, PLS, and PLSX. The SEC alleged that these were all alter egos of Heart himself. Had the SEC succeeded in that argument, it would have set a dangerous precedent—essentially suggesting that developers could be held legally responsible for open-source software used by decentralized communities. Such a ruling would have shaken the entire software industry, not just crypto.
Predictably, the markets reacted in fear. HEX, PLS, and PLSX all suffered declines of over 90%, as uncertainty loomed over the future of Heart’s ecosystem.
The Courtroom Drama and the Long Road to Justice
On October 31st, 2024, the first hearing took place at the District Court in Queens, New York City. Around 80 devoted HEX supporters, dubbed “Hexicans,” filled the courtroom benches. What unfolded was nothing short of a courtroom drama worthy of a Netflix series.
While Richard Heart did not appear in court himself, his message was loud and clear—delivered by a legal strike force of eight elite attorneys, including veterans who had stood beside Elon Musk and Donald Trump. In contrast, the SEC initially showed up with just two lawyers, who quickly summoned two more colleagues during the session—perhaps just to save face.
The SEC seemed unprepared and outgunned.
The judge began asking piercing questions:
- “Where does the blockchain live?”
- “Why does the SEC assume jurisdiction over a decentralized network not domiciled in the United States?”
- “Why would it be illegal for Richard Heart to use funds that were freely and voluntarily sacrificed by individuals who explicitly relinquished ownership?”
- “Didn’t Richard Heart deliver all ‘promised products’?”
The SEC had no clear answers.
For once, the tables were turning. Richard Heart, long demonized in the media, was putting the SEC itself on the defensive.
From Legal Victory to Political Warfare
While it seemed Richard Heart was on the path to victory, things took a dark turn.
Suddenly, unverified reports began to circulate that Heart was wanted in Finland for tax evasion and even assault. Shockingly, Interpol issued a Red Notice, placing Heart on the same public database as cartel leaders and war criminals. Prices of his tokens plummeted once again.
A private investigator in Finland uncovered that the FBI had communicated with Interpol and Europol regarding Heart—likely at the request of the SEC. No public agency would take responsibility or explain the timing.
It smelled of political sabotage, reminiscent of Julian Assange or Edward Snowden. The ecosystem was being suppressed, not by market forces, but by institutions fearful of what Heart represented: freedom from centralized control.
Vindication: The February 28th Ruling
On February 28, 2025, the long-awaited verdict dropped: Richard Heart was cleared of all charges. Not only did the judge rule that the SEC lacked jurisdiction, but even if it had jurisdiction, the charges would still have been dismissed on all counts.
The crypto world erupted with cautious celebration.
However, the victory was bittersweet. The SEC was given three weeks to amend its complaint—without adding new facts. As the deadline approached, the SEC requested an additional 30-day extension, which the judge granted. Prices across the RH ecosystem continued to slide in the absence of closure.
Finally, on April 21, 2025, the SEC notified the court that it would not file an amended complaint. But even now, the legal saga isn’t over. The SEC has until late June 2025 to file an appeal. Only once that window closes, will the verdict be truly final.
A New Cycle Begins
For those who understand what just happened, the message is clear:
This is the moment.
Under Donald Trump’s administration, the SEC has already been ordered to stop its power overreach. That directive, combined with the SEC’s capitulation, signals the start of a first full bull cycle for the PulseChain ecosystem.
No, this isn’t financial advice.
And no, you won’t find these tokens on major centralized exchanges.
This is real DeFi—and that means real opportunity.
Just like HEX delivered 10,000x in its first cycle, the suppressed valuations of PLS, PLSX, and new RH ecosystem tokens could result in 100x returns or more over the next few years.
But to participate, you need knowledge, not hype.
🔗 Enter the Crypto Freedom Chain Bootcamp
If learning real DeFi normally takes a year or more, what if you could learn everything in just 3 days?
