This is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t let boredom and negativity distract from the fact that this arrow goes up and to the right over the long run. Zoom out, ignore the noise, and keep fighting. I appreciate you all.

I just don’t think people realize how much work goes into every single one of these issues. Focusing only on recent bumps in the road does a disservice to the many people who are working incredibly hard to protect the rights of Bitcoin users in the US.

Is self custody still under attack? Yes, for sure. That’s one of the biggest reasons we started BPI in the first place. But did the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act pass (which would have been a de facto ban on self custody)? No! That is a huge win in and of itself.

Insane amounts of winning over the last year+ and then a couple things don’t go our way (which sucks!) and now people are freaking out. How quickly people forget what life was like just 18 months ago. Take a second; look at how far we’ve come. Don’t take it for granted.

Bitcoin was introduced to the world as a “Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” This study focuses on bitcoin the asset - what people acquire, hold, and exchange value through. So what does it mean to “use” bitcoin? Do you: - Send payments? - Stack bitcoin? Stack satoshis? -

Thinking about the Samourai Wallet situation makes me physically ill. All the best to those affected and their families. Thank you to everyone who supported the P2P Rights Fund.

I just wanted to take a moment to highlight my brother and one of my best friends — @grant_mccarty . For as long as I can remember, my brother has been a genius. School always came easy to him, but it was never just about intellect. He’s always been one of the hardest workers I

Thank you @grant_mccarty and @btcpolicyorg team for your important work and amazing accomplishment to host the Bitcoin Policy Summit. It was truly outstanding!
Doing some more reflecting on the Bitcoin Policy Summit from this past week, and I think the thing I loved most about the whole ordeal is how the entire @btcpolicyorg team put their egos aside for the sake of the larger mission. Whether it was carrying supplies or filling out
