Hey Bitcoin fam - I want to post a brief update as I start my Junior year of Bitcoin. I enrolled in this university of life back in 2021, without realizing how much I still had to learn. Becoming aware of the Matrix, being "fortunate" enough to be pulled from it's seductive comforts, was an incredibly painful experience.
But through my education I have found more meaning and purpose in my daily existence than ever before. I have met amazing people, studied innumerable rabbit holes of technical and social bodies of knowledge, learned how to take care of my body (shed 25 pounds of fat).
Denominating your life in BTC, hodling, and making the next right decision to continue building order in your life is a beautiful thing. A low time-preference combined with being gratefulAF for this moment now is an astoundingly beautiful thing.
My freshman year of Bitcoin was highlighted by purging shitcoinery and stinking fiat thinking from my brain. The amount of deprogramming and reprogramming required to adapt to life outside the Matrix is substantial. You have to put in the work. I also became an NVK (npub132e…zmdh) NVK (npub1az9…m8y8) & coldcard superfan in 2022, connected with my personal Bitcoin hero Craig Raw, and honed my cold storage skills in a 1 vbyte environment. Priceless.
My sophomore year of Bitcoin was highlighted by both an epic bear market to stack, getting to shake Parker Lewis (npub1w69…zltw) hand at a Bitcoin Meetup, as well as the opportunity to get involved with The Bitcoin Product Community and then eventually the SeedSigner (npub17ty…3mgl) project. I connected with KeithMukai (npub1tv8…7wn2), learned how to use Github, and brought my project management expertise to their project in support of the monumental 0.7.0 release (It's reproducible forever, Laura!). That is an amazing team of amazing humans, not the least of which was newtonick (npub1rfd…7wrt) (the nicest dev in Bitcoin) jdlcdl (npub177z…dp8e) (the 2nd nicest dev in Bitcoin) and MarcG. I look forward to seeing what they bring to the space in coming years. PS the Team Coldcard vs Team Seedsigner saber rattling is fun and healthy, but we’re all on the same team at the end of the day. <3
I am happy to announce at the start of my junior year of Bitcoin that I’ve been accepted by abitcoinperson (npub1jkm…crvd) and Gigi (npub1der…xzpc) into the OpenSats (npub10pe…n34f) organization as an official volunteer. In this role, I’ll be helping their new Head of Fiat Operations (not a boring guy!) and the rest of the team to execute projects in support of the amazing mission and vision of OpenSats. This is going to be fun.
I’ve got a long way yet to go on my Bitcoin journey. It feels almost like a second life altogether. Every step thus far has been meaningful and I can’t wait to see what the future may bring.
STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS
