A few reasons, for me

- Boston Wine was a business idea I had, years ago. I wasn’t ready to implement anything besides a placeholder website + Twitter account, but wanted to lock down the domain. The account evolved with my interests over the years

- Anon is a (sort of) level playing field in an interesting way. You start out with less engagement/interest than a relatable human with a nice pfp, and the type of the relationships you build is dependent on the quality and consistency of how you then choose to show up in the community

- Bitcoin is money. And while I haven’t been here long enough to see massive wealth growth, that expectation is part of it. I don’t want my identity publicly associated in this way, for the sake of privacy & security

All of that said, I am stoked to meet more of you in person. Haven’t decided if I’ll be “Boston” in person, or go by my name at an event and keep this account separate, as a general rule. I’m rather new to this and still figuring it out.

But I also have a hard time imagining I show up to an in person event and *don’t* say “YO Marie it’s me Boston 🍷”

because I feel like there are some solid hugs to be had with the people here 🫂
