NEW EPISODE: nostr:npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9 went from Naval Special Warfare intelligence to software engineering at a large-scale Bitcoin miner.
His career arc reveals something important about how centralized systems are showing cracks and what's replacing them.
Key insights:
→ Open source contributions build reputation that matters more than corporate credentials in Bitcoin
→ Military “thinking shooter” training—knowing where to find answers rather than having all answers—translates directly to decentralized technology work
→ Financial surveillance isn't abstract: working in FinTech showed him exactly how payment censorship operates at the technical level
→ Bitcoin Veterans is creating pathways for the military community to transition from defending centralized institutions to building alternatives
