Presidio Bitcoin has been in the works the past 10 months. Wences Casares and Mark Casey approached me wanting to give back to bitcoin. I reached out to several others (@HBerkoe, @Martellfox, @MaxAWebster, @dksf, @bobscully3, JD, @_austin_f), had many conversations, and we came…

bunch of friends asking to see how I'm vibe-coding/"developing with AI" these days... I might do a livestream tomorrow to show a project from scratch to TestFlight I kinda like the Peanut Gallery idea (below) enough so I might do this one. I think I could get it from zero to a…

This week, @PresidioBitcoin hosted the Bitcoin Quantum Summit (pbquantum.com). I was thrilled to be invited to attend, and wanted to write up a thread about what I learned this week. I’ll save my commentary for the end, and start with where we are, the challenges we…
