GM #Nostr
I’ve come a long way in my Bitcoin journey. What began as a passing interest has evolved into a deep conviction that Bitcoin can actually help us build a better world, re-instill in society an understanding of the importance of individual liberty, and start to repair the badly frayed trust that pervades nearly every institution. These are lofty ideas, they might even sound Polyannish, but when you choose to spend precious time in life on something, I think a little bit of conviction is warranted.
As an expression of that conviction, I have decided to make Bitcoin my full time job. I’ve joined the Bitcoin Policy Institute as Director of Government Affairs. People often refer to next chapters when they change careers. For me, this is more than a new chapter - it’s a whole new story.
It’s fair that many of you might say to yourselves “Bitcoin doesn’t need the government.” Fair enough, but this mission is as much about Bitcoiners and your right to use this network as it is about Bitcoin itself. I’ve learned from experience - you might not believe in the government, but the government believes in you.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to join you all on this journey.
And I’m happy to have made this announcement first on #Nostr.
