What I'm focused on now

July 15, 2024

Themes: family, Bitcoin, building, longevity

Doing

  • Working on something new—stay tuned.
  • Operating, advising, and investing in startups building on Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, including Bitvora, Orange Pill App, Synota, Zaprite, and with Lightning Ventures.
  • Actively participating in and supporting nostr’s development
  • Settling into a new home, and working every day to be a better husband and father.

Learning

  • Studying Ark, Cashu, and similar protocols as the Bitcoin layer 2 scaling debate heats up again
  • Experimenting with numerous generative AI tools and how to build private, offline systems with them

Reading

I keep a handful of books on the go—a few non-fiction and a sci-fi selection for nighttime reading.

Listening

My podcast selection is Bitcoin-heavy, mixed with macroeconomic trends and privacy, and delivered via the Lightning-powered Fountain app. And always new music.

Reflecting
