Around this time in 1836, the weakest section of the Alamo manned by Davy Crockett and other sharp shooting volunteers fell to Mexican forces. All Texian combatants, even in-firmed ones like James Bowie died in the attack. Bowie’s mom summed up what a badass James was when told of her son’s death: “I’ll wager no wounds were found on his back”. Texas rules.

It’s hard to overstate the impact of the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute when it first launched. A couple of Texas-Austrians effectively orange pilled a generation of bitcoiners in the most genuine and intellectually fulfilling way possible. Many that had been around prior to SNI like myself found new conviction around this bitcoin thing we were playing with after reading @Bitstein and @Pierre Rochard ‘s work, along with the wealth of knowledge they curated. Seeing SNI get its second wind is the most bullish bitcoin news since the ETF. I just donated to contribute to their second act.

SNI: Going Institutional

SNI is now a tax exempt public charity.

Alright. For real now. Looks like we have ~25 tickets left for next week’s Bitcoin Takeover in Austin. Don’t blow it. View quoted note →

Western Hill Coach Pitch “Silver Team”, powered by Zaprite.

Financial planning for psychos: try out every Bitcoin trading service ever built for over a decade. If they have it, try out their DCA tool. Forget you set it up for years at a time. Never check your finances. Ever. Just be confused why you have less money than expected. Every three years or so remember and panic about having too much bitcoin on these services and sweep to cold storage. Any liquidity event in your life, ape 100% into Bitcoin without considering your kids future. Forget everything again. Repeat forever. Only responsible behavior: meticulously setting up cold storage, multisig etc… ^ A true Bitcoin story.

We just launched teams for Zaprite, allowing colleagues to collaborate on their bitcoin (and fiat) payments, reporting etc… This is the third time I’ve built teams functionality for a web app (Stack Overflow and Unchained prior), and by far the earliest in a product’s lifecycle. It’s a testament to John and Tom’s forward looking architectural decisions making a feature that is usually a slog a breeze. I love this team.
