Last year, I sent a cold DM to the guys at @bitcoinlayers. It ended up with them taking a chance on me and bringing me on as their first dev hire. Since then, I am proud of what we accomplished with the layers site: a complete redesign, expanded L2 project and token reviews, data visualizations, and much more. Not only that, we built @lemondropfi, a automation tool for @solana users to stack more sats. We helped users build up their BTC savings - bundled up in a compact, sleek browser extension. And while all things must eventually end, I want to say thank you to @redvelvetzip and @januszg_. It's been a wild ride. Looking forward, I am happy to share with you all now that I've joined the @taprootwizards to work on all things product and software. I am grateful for this opportunity. I’m ready for this next chapter building alongside the Wizards and carrying forward the same spirit of curiosity, craft, and conviction. Here’s to shipping fun, magical, and meaningful Bitcoin products together. 🧙‍♂️

College football feels dead inside because it veered off the Widespread Panic / Allman Brothers cultural spectrum. It went from being big-hearted and brash to being completely Morgan Wallen-ified. It needs less WWE and a little more Billy Strings in its soul to find itself again.

9/10 months is truly peak baby. They are just coming online into their social existence, they are clap clapping and babbling and laughing full bellied laughs, they are bumbling around trying to figure out how to move about, 100% pure joy and chaos.

I mentioned that my garage door was making a sound. An American immediately said, "I got a guy." He did not ask what the sound was. He did not ask what kind of door. He produced a guy on the basis of the word garage. I asked who the guy was. He said, "Just a guy." He did not have a company name. He had a first name and a phone number in his phone saved as "Mike Garage." That is the contact name. Mike Garage. As though Garage is his surname. As though there is a family. I asked how he found this guy. "My brother-in-law used him." I asked if the brother-in-law was satisfied. He thought about it. Then he said, "He's still standing." The house is still standing. That is the entire review. Inside I said: THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS. THEY KEEP LOYALTIES. I called Mike Garage. He answered from inside a vehicle. There was wind. He said he could come Tuesday between eleven and four. Between eleven and four. A window of five hours. In my country this would be a scandal. Here it is generous. He gave me a window at all. Some guys do not give you a window. Some guys say "Tuesday" and that is the whole appointment. He came at 1:40. He fixed it in twenty minutes. He charged me less than I expected and he did not take a card, only cash or an app I had never heard of. Before leaving he looked at my water heater, which I had not mentioned, and said, "That's gonna go." I asked when. "Couple years." I asked what I should do. He said, "I'll give you a guy." He gave me a guy. Mike Garage has a guy. The guy has a guy. There is a network beneath this country made entirely of men named after their function, and none of them advertise, and all of them are busy. Inside I said: THERE IS A SECOND NATION HERE. IT HAS NO SIGNS. IT IS ENTERED ONLY BY INTRODUCTION. I have been given four guys since. I have a guy for trees. I did not know I needed a guy for trees. I have trees now, apparently. They are my responsibility. A man named Rick told me so and then left.

Want to follow up on my @BitcoinLayers product tweet last week with an intro and some thanks. I first got into bitcoin in 2014, discovering @aantonop. Attended my first hackathon in 2016 at @Chainsmiths in Dublin. My team built a bitcoin research app called OpenResearch.
#chainhack : yay to the OpenResearch team for the honorable mention at @Chainsmiths #blockchain #hackathon !

Lastly, I need to thank @ChaincodeLabs for all of their bitcoin training. Check them out! They are truly GOATed. I wouldn’t be where I am today or know as much as I do without their help or the help of the others mentioned above + many others. Happy Friday! PS - hi @klara_sok

I saw a meme that perfectly encapsulated this. "People aren't trying to fix society anymore, they are just trying to make enough money so it's problems don't apply to them"
