Exactly one year ago I went to the Lightning Hack Days in Istanbul. I've met other Bitcoin devs for the first time in my life in meat space there. My life has completely changed ever since.

I'm very greatful for every person I've meet on this path and all the incredible projects that I was able to work on so far. I truly am. Working on open source software has always been a dream. Being able to do that in Bitcoin is something that brings me immense fulfillment.

I fundamentally believe that what we're doing here will have a disproportionate positive impact on the world of the future. We might be wrong about some things, we might be right about others. But what we have - without a doubt - is pure and honest passion. Pura vida, you beautiful bastards.
