about me
I write and speak (often humorously), and advise or invest here or there. By way of disclosure, I am currently:
- President (Chairman) of the Foundation Council (board) at The Interchain Foundation
- a board member at The Mina Foundation
- an advisor at The Sia Foundation
- an advisor at The Twilight Protocol
- an investor in Thesis
- an investor in Penumbra
- a very cynical bitcoiner (but who isn't?)
about bitbanter
This is my place without a platform, an unfettered outlet for my greatest joy: writing and performing satire. Most of the articles will be sardonic crypto takes. Some will be serious. Even fewer of them might be funny. Everything is free to read/listen and permissively licensed. I plan on publishing 1024 posts, targeting one a week. You can subscribe via RSS or follow me on Twitter.
If I keep to my rough schedule, the very last post will appear roughly ninteen years after I begin. At that point I will consider the project done, this prosaic cathedral complete.
...unless some degenerate wins the golden bitbanter tulip from The Web210 Raffle, in which case I'll have to write them a book. Still, the main arc of bitbanter will be complete.
No matter what bitbanter's trajectory, I hope you find something here that makes you laugh, makes you think, or makes you wonder why (I'd jeopardize my career to make jokes).
thanks
