A $2M diamond-studded piece of meat at #Bitcoin2025?

The crypto space has seriously changed since I first got involved...

Still processing how surreal #Bitcoin2025 was.

Ross Ulbricht and I both spoke on stage. Two people from the early Silk Road days—alive, reflective, and re-engaging.

Grateful we made it through and are finding ways to contribute again.

#Bitcoin is not for speculation.

It's for no longer needing banks to give you permission to transact.

Overheard at #Bitcoin2025 in Las Vegas: "Fix the money, fix the world."

It's a relief that it still feels like the early days of #Bitcoin. Even with tens of thousands at #Bitcoin2025 I was reminded that it's not too late to innovate.

Heading back to The Bitcoin Conference—this time in Vegas. Nashville last year was my first time speaking publicly since 2014.

Grateful to keep moving forward, reconnect with builders, and share more of my story.

Honest bookkeeping for crypto is table stakes if we're to reach "the normies."

This is why I'm personally building accounting software for businesses who accept #Bitcoin and other #crypto.

#Bitcoin + #crypto technologies are good for human rights.

#Cryptocurrency is an ineffective tool for those involved in illegal activities. I speak from experience as a former participant! My own story shows that it doesn't succeed for lawbreakers. You *will* eventually be caught.

Cash is more private than #Bitcoin or any other crypto on an exchange.

If crypto is going to win, privacy and honesty have to be table stakes.

It’s still far too easy to make mistakes in #Bitcoin.

We need clearer paths for #blockchain builders—people like me (and you)—to engage with regulators, policymakers, and law enforcement.

It's paramount that we build #privacy into #stablecoin technologies.

Will soon be sharing more clips from last month's DC Blockchain Summit.

Heading back to #Bitcoin Las Vegas later this month for another panel on privacy and crypto. Details coming soon.

10 years ago, I built for anonymous trade. Today, I’m still building for privacy—now with proof.

If crypto is going to last, it needs transparency around what’s real, what’s secure, and who controls what. Privacy and trust aren’t opposites—they need each other.

I went back and forth on what my first @bsky.app post should be...

I decided to share an email I got the other night. It's almost poetic.

Don't get me wrong: I appreciate the hustle of this SDR.

But maybe I should tell them what happens when you "accelerate Silk Road 2.0's growth"?
