Two questions:
1. Do you run a bitcoin native company in the same sector as any of these brands?
Culture, payments, education, workspace, funding, PoS, encrypted chat, market info, publishing, consultancy, news, hardware wallets, mining, social apps, compliance.
(I've worked with all these companies this year)
2. Do you need to boost your profile, generate conversations, and find new investors and partners?
If the answer to both questions is yes, here is a third. Are you willing to back yourself and create a strategy to build success through deep takes, industry publications, and human-centred stories?
Yes?

CHAPTER 9 — Becoming Hemingway
I started to introduce myself as a writer.
Maybe it was because I wasn’t doing much else.
I spent Spring 2019 in Seville. Stories virtually leapt out at every corner and found their way onto my laptop. It’s a pretty inspiring place, especially when most of your day is spent writing in a bullfighting themed cafe, and shooting the shit over brandy with your writing buddy (yes, everyone has a bit of a Hemingway phase).
It felt good to have some paid publications, hear my story read on a podcast, and be able to carry my book around with me to every cafe. People are reluctant to introduce themselves as a writer if they aren’t doing it full time for a plum wage.
NEWSFLASH — I don’t know a single short story writer who earns a living doing only that. Plus, now I do earn a living completely from writing, it’s not as sexy as people think. Terms like ‘content’, ‘op-eds’, and ‘thought leadership’ tend to make eyes glaze over.
You're a writer if you live it. Simple as that.
After Seville, I walked the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain. Thirty days of flat landscapes, blisters, and searching for small-town supermarkets daring enough to stock items as exotic as hummus and guacamole.
You have a lot of time to think on the Camino. Walk, arrive, wash your pants, find some food, chat a bit, and wait for the next day. Almost everyone I met wrote a diary. A bit like with photos, I’ve never really been one for diaries or morning pages. I need to have the capacity to forget an image, a thought, or an idea. What tends to stick deep is the feelings, sensory data, and the sentiment that comes out between the lines of a story.
My Camino experience manifested in a novel, written in one month while I worked in a hostel in Morocco. Between serving tea, checking in guests, and cleaning toilets, I wrote 2,000 words a day. There was one point, when I realized I hadn’t left the hostel for three days or so. It was intense.
‘Network Trail’ is the story of Geoffrey Rossi, a middle-aged ex rail engineer and wannabe comedian who runs a hostel for walkers of a path running the length of Great Britain (similar to Spain’s Camino de Santiago).
Geoffrey makes a LOT of train jokes, suffers a break up and personal loss which leads him to walk the trail himself, culminating in a life-altering experience at the end of it all.
In writing the book, I learned how uncomfortable I am following the typical novel story structure.
The novel is OK. It works as a story. It delves into creativity, masculinity, and mental health. But the submission process to literary agents with names like Ridley Farquois III and Camille Winter-Smythe made me lose interest in the entire sector and lose conviction in the project. Since then, things have gotten much worse in traditional publishing, so I don’t see myself rushing back to it.
Still, I’m glad to have written a novel.
Maybe someday, I’ll finish my next one.
