Trusted third parties are security holes. A peer-to-peer, decentralized payment network would never suffer this.

The traditional payment value chain has WAY too big an attack surface.

After 11 months of writing, I can finally announce that the book is available for pre-order on Amazon! I still have to get through technical review, but my hope is that the print book will be ready by SXSW in March.

And yes, that's the honey badger!

Tomorrow marks the 10 year anniversary of the bitcoin whitepaper and we’re feeling nostalgic. Not only has bitcoin evolved within these years— but our products & resources to use it have also. Take a look at our original Bitcoin explorer circa 2011.. compared to what it is today.

The "toxicity" of cryptotwitter is still far preferable to that of traditional politics, in which people tacitly advocate threats of violence in order to coerce others into doing what they believe is "best."

To realize the potential of #blockchain, documentary #tradefinance industry participants will need to agree on networks with common standards and business rules: https://t.co/vo4tnhRRbF

Hoping @aantonop considers coming to the #gulf soon, we'd love to partner with you.
