    I grew up outside Atlanta, in the shadow of Stone Mountain... a monolith memorializing the Confederacy & the birthplace of the KKK. The only thing that made living next to that mountain bearable was thinking times had changed. They have.. but not enough

    I grew up in South Georgia. I was attacked by cops, peers, and even my teachers for my race. I'm a founder who got into crypto to empower people of all races and gender against establishments with far too much power.

    Many in tech still see themselves through the lens of the bullied nerd archetype, but fail to realize that they now hold orders of magnitude more power over their former tormentors, than the bullies ever held over them. Power shifts, seasons change, adapt to your new role.

    What are we building for? The protection of everyone's rights, everywhere.

    Bitcoin doesn't care about your race, gender, or creed. It doesn't care who you love. It doesn't care what do you for a living, or if you're politically unpopular, on the left or right. It defends your right to financial sovereignty.

    the third amendment has been waiting for its day for literally centuries

    Just heard that Mayor Bowser is kicking the Utah National Guard out of all DC hotels tomorrow. More than 1200 troops from 10 states are being evicted. This is unacceptable. 1/2

    Thanks to for the kick in the ass posting this. Time to live our values, and put my money where my mouth is.

    To that end, I will match $1000 in donations to the Equal Justice Initiative (), for their work ending mass incarceration and racial inequality. DMs are open- hoping your wallets will be.

    Unfortunately, Bitcoin can't protect our other rights. We have to do that, for ourselves and for our neighbors. We must fight state-sanctioned violence, systemic racism, and every other mass abuse and infringement of human rights.

    I got into crypto to protect individual liberties. We say Bitcoin is about sound money and censorship resistance, but what it really does is protect the rights of the minority.

    We at don’t want to remain silent. We want to be clear: We believe in equality, justice for all regardless of race or gender, and that . We stand in solidarity with everyone fighting for justice.

    We have the word "bullish" to describe the price of bitcoin increasing. What word do we have to describe Bitcoin becoming more peer-to-peer?

    It would be a shame if protestors started calling the White House situation room at +1.202.456.9451 and told them how they felt. Ugh, what a tragedy.

    100% agree. Children throw stones, adults build bridges.

    I’m a huge fan of the Lightning Network, and I believe it will become more and more relevant in commerce and in new applications like gaming. Lightning vs Ethereum is a false dichotomy. 💏

    The amount of crypto people I offer to pay in crypto who tell me they "have no way to cash out their crypto to pay bills with" is staggering. If people in the space can't easily cross the fiat/crypto divide then we are no where near mainstream adoption.

    Confused. This is like a well known and highly respected scientist who is also somehow religious and manages to keep both world views alive in his head simultaneously.
