1/10 Thank you. is 10 years old today. We were two veteran #virtualgoods peddlers, painfully aware of the problems with payments and financial access around the world. Inspired by #Bitcoin and what could be. Dumb enough to try it, smart enough to pull it off.

7/ To our 2000+ 🐙Krakenites in 50+ countries: For enlisting yourselves in a war. It's far from the easiest or cushiest job. You do the impossible. You rise to the occasion and teach me something new every single day. You are an inspiration. I'm honored to fight alongside you.

8/ To my co-founder: For trusting me, and for allowing me to trust you 100% with the insanely complex and scary technical side of the business. I can't imagine a better shadowy super coder to have as a partner. Only someone with loins of steel could have stayed the course.

9/ It's been a long road. 10 years on planet Crypto is 100 years on Earth. To survive, you have to get comfortable with discomfort. No two days are the same and surprises are around every corner. You plan for uncertainty and you plan to be attacked. Beyond that, all bets are off.

/10 It's only through an irrational sense of optimism that one can remain sane. The mission keeps us focused: to accelerate the adoption of crypto and improve financial freedom and inclusion in the world. I'm looking forward to Decade 2. Hope you'll join me on the front lines :)

11/10 I would be remiss if I did not send my immense gratitude to the developer community, node operators and miners. Obviously, this dream only exists because of the work that you do. You are unsung heroes, the last line of defense against those who would take our dream away. 🙇‍♂️
