Helping others build sustainable businesses that impact your community positively is a way forward.
The belief that if people take responsibility for their lives and work hard, they will have the individual freedom to pursue their personal goals and a good opportunity to compete for success.
We need to get back to preaching good American values.
We need Patroits inside our government to speak up. I pray for this everyday.
Communism is killing innovation in America.
If I recall John then Super then Keyan were the first ones in the lab, that September.
Michael is bringing back ABC website for ATX, crazy to see this post from Sept 2021.
Bitcoin really is the friends you make along the way.

Bitcoin only

If miners use ecash I could see your theory play out. Big "if"
for more bitcoin builder discussions, come visit pleblab this week!
This is one if the reasons why custodial options were so valuable and satsflow generating they created their own sprinkler system.
Why the leaky faucet, ultimately you want to remove as much friction as you can to that Bitcoin spiget. (Miners & Exchanges) think 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon but with your users. Introducing more friction to that spigot decreases satsflow.
Keep in mind. Sometimes bad advice is just bad advice. Nothing to take personal. Focus on the time preference variable of the person giving it. That's usually a tell in direction.
The community you choose is the most important part in this equation.
Bitcoin has this big, but also deeply connected community, with long and deep friendships, not first apparent as a new builder in the space, those relationships are at the core of all this.
What's the saying, "The best defense is a healthy community."
Thoughts from this past month.
1. Founders building software outside of exchanges and mining should apply first principles thinking around satsflow and install base by first aligning with the right community to get to these and other project goals. 🚰
2. The "VC model" in its current form will be recreated and become more milestone based. Timed unlocks.
3. Also accepting fiat for equity in a bitcoin company is becoming less desirable by builders. (Ergo 1)
4. Two most valuable assets on earth post Bitcoin etf, is Bitcoin and a Bitcoin company holding Bitcoin. It's the "new data" everyone is after.
These trends are starting / have started. Something to consider is why you should be building on Bitcoin with community in mind.
Not yet, because every move in my eyes is life and death. Few founders every reach that point, ftr not a place you want to be.
Ultimately you got to trust that voice that got you there.
Sometimes your just right and you don't need to explain yourself. Especially when you've been proven right multiple times in the past.
No matter how many times you roll then play the tape in your head its the only right move that makes sense.
As a founder its honestly the one thing that still keeps me up at night.
vibes are extremely high in Austin, this week will be insane
