STATUS: 48 HOURS REMAINING
the signal is clear, but the goal is not yet met.
$20K commitment needed to secure the US launch of Bitcoin Bank.
to be clear: this isn't just about a flight. it's about whether this ecosystem wants the fiscal infrastructure iβve spent 5 years building, or if i should take my talent elsewhere.
the Monday decision:
β
$20K commit: i fly to SF. deployment begins.
β silence: i fly to the EU. this projectβand my time on Nostrβends.
the deadline: Sunday 10 AM (BA Time).
targeting: @OpenSats @HRF @jack @Lyn Alden @Vitor Pamplona
who is going to bridge the gap?

the "whale list"
@jack the primary benefactor of Nostr. He is known to make large, decisive grants to builders he respects.
@OpenSats the leading 501(c)(3) for Bitcoin/Nostr. ( if you can't move in 48h ok, tagging you to signal i'm serious. )
@HRF (Human Rights Foundation) they specifically fund tools for ""closed societies." ( Bitcoin Bank helps people in Argentina/Global south, you are my best bet HRF. )
@Vitor Pamplona creator of Amethyst and a major ecosystem leader. He often highlights high-value builders.
@fiatjaf the creator of the protocol. His "signal" is the most respected in the space.
@jb55 (William Casarin) creator of Damus. He values "Proof of Work" over everything else.
@Lyn Alden a major voice in Bitcoin macro who understands the need for "Bitcoin Banking" infrastructure.
@preston highly active in the funding space and often connects builders with capital.
@calle leader in the Cashu/Ecash space ( crucial for Bitcoin Banking ).
He knows who has the grants.
@Gigi OpenSats board member and deep philosopher of the space.
the 72h clock is at 24.
$20K secures a US Bitcoin Bank launch, silence secures my departure to the EU.
this isn't a bluffβit's a resource decision.
are we building this or not?
what's the $20K for?
SF relocation, 3 months runway to deploy Bitcoin Bank MVP
