Bitcoin has only advanced because, at pivotal moments in history, certain individuals stepped up - nudging fate in the right direction and leading the creation of a rising tide that uplifted everyone.

One of those people is brockm (nprofile…xlw6) . His actions ushered in a new era of funding for open-source freedom tech that has changed the trajectory of countless projects - and lives. Mine included.

Forever grateful for what you've done, Mike!

Besides Mike & Jack, thanks also goes to miles (nprofile…zkaf) & moneyball (nprofile…3a9l) . Creation of SqCrypto enabled creation of btcpayserver (nprofile…xhfg) Foundation.

And with it, a wave of new contributors joined - many of whom continue to shape Bitcoin today through their work.

Don't just scroll away from here onto another tweet. Instead, go deeper - read brockm (nprofile…xlw6) essay on "What You Should Do". And then do it.
