After 17 years, bitcoin is still widely misunderstood.

We partnered with @atlanticrethink to make a short film for the curious ft. @natbrunell, @NSmolenski, and our CEO @josephkelly. Not the crypto story. The bitcoin story.

The New Rules of Bitcoin, out today cc @TheAtlantic.

WOW!

We just received a $15,000 bitcoin grant to our 2026 operations fund from an @unchained bitcoin DAF!

The grant was smoothly processed through @ZapriteApp into our @Strike business account!

If you have bitcoin sitting in a DAF and are interested in supporting the mission of k-12 bitcoin education, get in touch with the team. All 2026 bitcoin donations will be held in BTC to fuel our operations.

Five years at @unchained, what a ride!
I got to create, tell stories I cared about, and work next to people who made me better at all of it.

@josephkelly @dhruvbansal and so many others, a tweet doesn't cover it, but hopefully y'all know how much it means to me.

More soon.

Today, you’re sending your hard-earned capital to the government.

You don’t get a receipt. You don’t get a progress report. You don’t get a choice. You’re just funding a system that no longer represents you and an education model that doesn't prepare the next generation for the world we’re building.

It’s time to opt out. Today we are launching the Bitcoin Scholars Fund, a new non-profit scholarship granting organization.

Our mission? To redirect $21 Million from the federal government in 2027 directly into K-12 Bitcoin education.

How it works: Starting in 2027, your first $1,700 ($3,400 per couple) donated to BSF is a 1:1 Federal Tax Credit thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Net cost to you: $0.

We aren't just building a non-profit; we’re architecting an innovative "Zero-Leakage" treasury powered by $STRC to ensure nearly 100% of your principal hits the classroom, not our overhead.

Stop funding the legacy machine. Start funding financial education for kids.

The scholarship fund goes live on January 3rd, 2027, but the "Proof of Work" starts today.

Follow along as we help fix the schools by fixing the flow of capital.

Fund Education. Not Wars. 👉 https://t.co/hxZNlCLTkl

$10,000 in a checking account in 2015.

By 2025, that $10,000 had roughly $8,000 of real purchasing power. You didn’t spend it. Inflation spent it for you.

A savings account doesn’t save. It’s a slow leak with a friendly name.

[WrNG Instrument @wrnginstrument]

A client doesn’t say “your rate is too high” because they can’t afford you.

They say it because you gave them room to negotiate.

Here’s the shift that stops it: 🧵

[WrNG Instrument @wrnginstrument]

The freelancer rate problem isn’t mindset. It’s math.
Most creatives are charging based on what they think clients will pay — not what their time actually costs.
Here’s the 3-Number Exercise that exposes the gap:

[WrNG Instrument @wrnginstrument]

I wrote it all down. It's a $21 playbook for creative freelancers.
Rate Audit Guarantee: if the exercise doesn't reveal at least $500 you're leaving on the table, full refund.
