🔥 JOB ALERT : Front Row Seat 🔥 TVP is hiring. Real Bitcoin VC. No crypto. No ESG. No LARPing. Thrilled to have joined @trammellvc as an advisor. If we’ve worked together or you’ve got the proof-of-work, I’m happy to put in a good word. 😁

Plainly wrong. The “lender” has to exhibit operational excellence in a default to liquidate a borrower’s bitcoin and avoid a lending capital loss for the lending capital provider. The capital gap remains and must be recouped. It would be a Rube Goldberg way to “acquire” bitcoin.

Today was the day! After all these years—one of my oldest best friends messaged and said, "Hey man you've been preaching about getting my bitcoin off exchanges for years and I hear it from others, too, now. Will you walk me through how to do it?" Hell to the yeah, I will!

Had a great time talking about Castle, the importance of bitcoin for the world and for SMBs, the block size wars, and some parts of my background and tech journey that I hadn't shared publicly before. Let's fix the money.

So long, Ozzy. Hope you found peace. 🫡 One of the best arranged hard rock songs of all time: open.spotify.com/track/7w6PJe5K…

Good opportunity for an intelligent hungry bitcoiner to join my friends at @trammellvc.

Attention Central Texas cherry enthusiasts: We have reached peak cherry ripeness season—buy ‘em while you can.

It’s worth noting that “life and safety” and “accessibility” are two of the top reasons for why this is now illegal today. Yet this is such a quintessentially human space. In our blind pursuit of “making sure nothing ever goes wrong”—we’ve completely dehumanized our habitat.

Over $1 billion lent to long-term holders of bitcoin—and for both capital providers and borrowers, ZERO capital losses.

Surely there is a special place in hell for spammers who spam out calendar invites blocking precious time without permission. If anyone out there ever thought this is a good idea—it is not—and your brand is DOA.

Music is geometrical.

Tastes like freedom. Whiskey rebellion with family today… Happy birthday, America. May the monarchists and commies cry harder through your 250th birthday and beyond 🫡
