What I'm focused on now

May 8, 2024

Themes: Bitcoin, investing, jurisdictional arbitrage, longevity, fatherhood

Doing

  • Leading sales and partnerships at Lightning payment ops startup, Amboss
  • Advising and angel investing in other Bitcoin startups, recently Orange Pill App, Relai, Synota, Vida, and Zaprite
  • Actively participating in and supporting nostr’s development
  • Preparing for an increasingly likely economic shockwave in America
  • Working every day to be a better father

Learning

  • Studying Ark, Cashu, and similar protocols as the Bitcoin layer 2 scaling debate heats up again
  • Experimenting with numerous generative AI tools and how to build private, offline systems with them

Reading

I keep a handful of books on the go—a few non—fiction and a sci-fi selection for nighttime reading.

Listening

My podcast selection is Bitcoin-heavy, mixed with macroeconomic trends and privacy, and delivered via the Lightning-powered Fountain app. And always new music.
