I like to mountain bike and bitcoin

Yesterday I announced my official departure from Unchained.

After 6 years (>315,000 blocks), 2 bull markets, 2 bear markets, 100,000+ bitcoin, >$1 billion in loan originations, and over 10,000 clients, it’s time for me to move on.

Helping build Unchained has been the highlight of my career.

Let me know what you'd like to work on together next!

Happy Valentine's Day

Not only was I the first official speaker at a Beefsteak, now I'm an official Beefsteak memer.

I'm kicking off 2025 with some big personal news:

I'm taking a (small) step back from Unchained and will be acting as a strategic growth advisor moving forward.

I'm immensely proud of the things the team has accomplished during my time in product marketing.

2025 is going to melt brains. Hodl 🦾

BREAKING: World's first bitcoin grant from a donor-advised fund was given to Bitcoin engineering school Base58 founded by nostr:nprofile1qqsvh300dvquh50l5t9et2257pxrsk5ndsdgdcdmnnxl9nc0f6l2ejcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqzrrhwden5te0vfexytnfdu7y9l4j

The grant will be used to support 5 people going through the basics of bitcoin engineering course!

We just launched "Confirm via email," another tool browser-based wallets and custodians could implement to protect their users from malware.

You only get one chance to send a bitcoin transaction. Make sure you're sending it to the right destination. https://unchained.com/blog/email-confirm-address/

If you're into mountain biking you absolutely must go to a World Cup race at some point. Their skills are outrageous and you get to just hang out with the pros after their races.

Olympic gold medalist and world champion Jolanda Neff signed my Unchained hat 😅

Whatchu sippin' on this Friday?

Sell your car so you can buy more bitcoin

Huge argument for sorting your multisig solution with #unchained on nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, and turns out nostr:npub1jvzgkrej3gpplqut2xfncg25qr7wmt3jlmyk3u7nxtcp4qj50tgsh96c2w likes mountains bikes, why haven’t I already followed him? (or sorted out a meeting with those guys). Hold onto your #bitcoin like they could seize it tomorrow AND it’s already worth what it will be in ten years. https://fountain.fm/episode/Xbp4d54D6l0EINk3Cutz

Is Trump coming to the next Beefsteak?

Today Unchained and our partner University Impact launched bitcoin-native donor-advised funds, a new way to give bitcoin charitably. You can get tax benefits immediately and can:

-Hold bitcoin on behalf of the causes that aren't ready to accept it directly

-Donate bitcoin directly from the DAF to the organizations that are ready

-All while keys are distributed in collaborative custody

My pun is almost better than the presentation.

Parker knocked it out of the (old) park(land) with this presentation.
