Living 100% on #Bitcoin via @CashApp, @Bitkey, and @Square. Documenting friction, wins, and gaps in the circular economy along the way. Starting July ‘26…

Research Series, Part 5: Community

Living on Block starts as one person testing the @blocks ecosystem in daily life

But the bigger opportunity is community 🧵

[Jack @LivingOnBlock]

Before the Living on Block experiment starts in July, I thought I’d share some of the research / prep work behind it:

1. The Plan
2. How I’ll Measure Things
3. Known Gaps + Workarounds
4. Rewards
5. Community

Linking threads below as they go live 🧵

Research Series, Part 4: Rewards

One of the biggest behavioral challenges for Living on Block might actually be rewards 🧵

Have a story to share about @blocks' ecosystem? Use #livingOnBlock when you post

Throughout the experiment, I’ll share community highlights

Let's create a world of financial freedom together 🚀

But the bigger opportunity is community 🧵

[Jack @LivingOnBlock]

If you’re using @CashApp, @Square, @Bitkey, or #bitcoin in everyday life, your experience is useful

Not just the wins - but also the friction: confusing flows, failed payments, awkward merchant moments, and small UX gaps

More on this once the experiment is live next week... 👀

Research Series, Part 4: Rewards

One of the biggest behavioral challenges for Living on Block might actually be rewards 🧵

[Jack @LivingOnBlock]

Cash App also has debit card offers: discounts and money back when spending at certain companies

I’ll be testing both programs once the experiment starts and reporting back on whether they actually create enough pull to change default behavior

[Jack @LivingOnBlock]

These are all hypotheses based on initial research - excited to start exploring them properly in July

@BitcoinatBlock's plan to share a public, open roadmap soon will also help inform existing gaps and plans 🚀

Research Series, Part 3: Known gaps + workarounds

Leading up to the Living on Block experiment, I did an initial review of @blocks ecosystem features (not hands-on yet, just documentation) to spot any major surprises in advance

Here are potential gaps I’m considering 🧵

6. Bitcoin accessibility

Cash App has bitcoin education tools and @Bitkey aims to make self-custody more approachable

Will the bitcoin layer of the ecosystem be accessible enough for everyday users?
