Looking for a remote full-time job in #Bitcoin?

Join me on our tiny but mighty Bitcoin Conference Programming team as we spread hyperbitcoinization around the world.

Back in 2012, some buddies and I scrambled to figure out how to get Bitcoins to buy some cool stuff on Silk Road.

From Germany, we had to PayPal a stranger—no trustless escrow, iirc (not that we knew what that was back then)—and just hope the coins showed up in Electrum or our Silk Road accounts.

#Bitcoin has come a long way since then. The user experience has improved dramatically, just as it had from 2009 to 2012. Not to mention, the price has soared to unimaginable heights, and adoption has exploded. I’m excited to see how BTC evolves as it continues to reshape the world.

I never kept any coins from my brief Silk Road encounter and didn’t think much about Bitcoin for years after. In 2013, Ross was arrested.

For over a decade, he sat in prison while I was fortunate enough to rediscover Bitcoin in new ways, at new touchpoints—building on those strange but successful first interactions.

All the while, his mother, Lyn, and an army of Bitcoiners and libertarians fought for his freedom.

Thank you, Ross. You changed the course of Bitcoin, many of our lives, and, in turn, the world. We’re so happy you’re free! ❤️

since pardoned, is Ross entitled to some silk road #Bitcoin? 😄

OFFICIAL: TRUMP FAILS TO DELIVER ON FREE ROSS DAY 1 CAMPAIGN PROMISE.

if you’re not laughing hysterically every single day of 2025 you may have missed the plot

wonder who the first #Bitcoin president is gonna be

america is back

fun moon maths:

of the baby boomers‘ wealth that will be passed to their children (over $68T expected by 2030)

what percent is going to rotate into #Bitcoin?

imagine just 10%…

BTC market cap would grow to ~$8.1 Trillion

the price would be over $400,000 per coin.

we’re so back

12 string, not normal. strung backwards, not just upside down*

he was a lefty but could play both. the backwards stringing of a righty guitar is not impressive just funky.

The interesting part is there are almost no videos of him playing acoustic, let alone 12 strings.

gonna miss this place
