A bunch of Bitcoin startups I’ve invested in are on the Bitcoin standard where they’ve kept BTC in their treasury.
As of late, I’ve been getting actively involved in public Bitcoin Treasury companies.
I participated in the private placement of Matador, the largest Canadian Bitcoin Treasury Company, my friends Sunny Ray and Mark Moss are part of that company, and I’ve recently joined David Bailey as an advisor to the company.
My goal is to get Matador using multi institutional self custody and steer them towards bitcoin maximalism.
I’ve also invested along with Adam Back and UTXO into H100, the largest Bitcoin Treasury Company in Sweden.
There’s a few more treasury companies I’m getting involved with that I probably can’t disclose yet.
I think Bitcoin Maximalists should be taking advisory seats and board positions of these companies so we can impart our long term thinking, strong hands and risk management tendencies in the board rooms of these bitcoin vacuum corps.
If we get involved, we can help prevent the over-leveraging that so many are afraid of, and we can have a hand at ushering in a decade long bull market - the Orange Rush.
Picked up my #scarce shirt at the
@Scarce.City booth.
The shirt has a BTC address but nothing can be withdrawn from it 🤔

Any other collectors of Bitcoin Trading Cards?
Some people are into coins, some people are into cardboard.
I’ve chosen cardboard.
If anyone is building cool physical bitcoin collectibles, board games, cards, etc - hit me up!
I’m a bitcoin culture hoarder.
Been trying to get my barber to accept Bitcoin for about a year. He was interested but he is not good with technology.
From the Azores but moved to canada in 2016 to work construction but his real passion is 💈
He’s a real artist and is very clearly meant to do hair and beards, he does it after work in his basement.
He was laid off from his full time construction job about a month ago because of the trade war.
Today, I finally got him setup to accept Bitcoin with a
@Blink Wallet !
His Lightning address is maniqas@blink.sv if anyone’s feeling generous to give him an onboarding zap!
I could get behind a Canadian Bitcoin Treasury Company and stake my reputation on it.
I have been in Bitcoin since 2011 and I doubt I’m ever going to NOT be in Bitcoin.
I have been a fomosapien for a few of those cycles, getting sucked into ICOs and other activity bias / fomo driven cycles.
I have some FOMO about the opportunity side of bitcoin treasury companies, but what’s different this time is that this is both a short term opportunity to make make in a bubble AND a long term fundamentally sound strategy built on a foundation of bitcoin.
So for this reason, I’m in.

Last year I told my niece if she went through
@nat brunell's Swan course I’d pay her $1000 in BTC.
She did it and it’s now worth $2000.
She just finished school for the year and she asked to do some more Bitcoin studying.
What should I have her do now?
She’s 20 years old.
I recently moved and found some OG packs of MTG Ice Age that I thought I lost!
I had been saving these and then one time years ago brought them to the local store and let the top 3 winners of Friday Night Magic open a pack and keep the cards.
Then I never found them again.
I guess I’d asked the manager for a box and he gave me a vista print box that his biz cards were in.
They got put in with our office supplies and I just randomly came across them today looking for business card stock to
Print some BTC tip cards on 🤣
Looking forward to this

I’m about to start listening to it myself
How do I print thee? Let me count the ways…
Shitcoiners during tax season vs Bitcoiners during tax season (FULL RAW UNCUT VERSION)
I have a massive beard and I’m getting the urge to shave it. What are some funny short ideas that I can film for a before & after?
Once concept I had was to film some dialogue with myself. Bearded me could be a grizzled hodler who’s seen the horrors of 4 90% drawdowns and clean shaven me could be an excited any bushy tailed first time bitcoin buyer.
Another concept was I could film myself “getting into bitcoin” and then 1 week later I’ve got a portfolio of 100 shitcoins my wife has left me and I’ve got a massive homeless man Beard, ranting about how the federal reserve is going to use XRP to settle bank to bank transfers.
Any other ideas send them my way!
I’m making some viral clips for Instagram, here’s one of them.
If you have ideas drop em here!
If you’re a comedy sketch writer please DM me on Instagram @bradmillscan because I’m looking to work with some writers to script up some good sketches that we can film.
My crypto friends in the altcoin trenches are depressed.
They are considering buying bitcoin 😂
I'm scaling up a media company, POW Media.
I'm focused on making viral inspirational, educational & entertaining content about Bitcoin.
We have a media team and a revenue team.
I'm going to be hiring people who will be in the client success side, revenue/sales, media & leadership roles.
I'm bitcoin-only and focused on the mission of getting 1 million people to setup a bitcoin savings plan and getting 10,000 wholecoiners taking self custody of at least 1 BTC.
I'm not going to be able to recruit exclusively Bitcoin maximalists, so I wonder how founders of bitcoin-only companies deal with the topic of employees posting about crypto/non-bitcoin stuff.
I don't want to be "censoring" my employees but I also don't want entropy in the signal that I’m broadcasting (Bitcoin-only.)
For bitcoin founders … do you make it a non-negotiable that employees can't talk about crypto or any other topics publicly?
If so how do you enforce that?
If not, what’s the strategy?
Feel free to DM me if you don’t want to post publicly.
If Bitcoin is digital property and Bitcoiners are becoming autonomous/sovereign individuals, the historical analogy of being paid in Bitcoin for services lines up with pledging allegiance to a nobleman / Lord or Baron & getting a land grant as a fief.
Vassals would receive land grants as a reward for loyalty, but it wasn't that they owned the land, they could use it. The noble retained the rights to the property & could reclaim it on disloyalty or death.
Eventually the descendants of vassals could inherit the land but they would still have to pay homage & fealty to the lord/nobleman to keep it.
Vassals of a lord/baron were expected to do things such as accompany them on travel as an entourage, give them counsel on legal matters, fight with them in battle (or hire a mercenary) & let the lord & his servants use their accommodations when required.
With bitcoin lending & miniscript maturing, this could actually come to fruition a lot sooner than we think.
Imagine giving a fiefdom of 1 BTC to a vassal of your citadel where you are using a composable miniscript multisig setup that allows for your vassal to borrow against the BTC and "work his digital property" ... but the even of disloyalty (he doesn't pay back the loan) or death, the BTC comes back into your treasury.
For viceroys, castellans or other direct reports declare allegiance to your digital citadel, a blockchain property grant of X BTC could be created as a reward to demonstrate your trust & support, or if you want it to be earned it could take the form of a decaying multisig that decays to just a single sig or multisig that is in their control after X time of proving loyalty.
1) Proof of Work is for Your personal life as well. Shoot for at least 45 mins of exercise every day & get your fitness & nutrition on point to be the lighthouse not the tugboat.
2) schedule date nights with your wife and do things she wants to do, help her dream.
3) schedule family meetings with your whole family once a week and focus on positivity & supporting them.
4) buy bitcoin and put at least 50% of your net worth into cold storage multisig that you won’t spend for at least 10 years. Unless you can beat 60% CAGR you don’t ever take from this bucket.
5) hire an executive assistant and house manager to help you manage your own life and requests from relatives and business endeavors.
6) no easy money lending to family or friends, bad precedent to set - maybe invest small amounts in their businesses if they have what it takes or small grants for them to do something productive in business, art, education or for their health. Invest in therapy for family members and match their BTC purchases to encourage them to save.
7) Read Dan Martell’s book Buy Back Your Time.
What’s the simplest and safest way for Frankie MacDonald to store his BTC?
1) He only responds when he’s interested
2) He is using an old Well Wallet (formerly Rise Wallet) that’s been depreciated and I haven’t been able to convince him to move to a new wallet yet.
3) I tried to get him on lightning & nostr and he didn’t engage. Maybe too complicated.
4) He knows not to give anyone his seed phrase nor tell anyone how much BTC he has.
Can someone help me solve this Lightning mystery?
Alice sent Bob $999 in sats from Blink to Phoenix.
Bob clicked receive & didn’t enter an amount.
Alice scanned Bob's QR code using the Blink app.
Alice’s txn shows as sent and the sats are deducted from her balance in Blink.
Bob has not received the payment 6 hrs later.
Bob has 8 million sats of inbound liquidity but has not sent or received a payment since Jan 2024.
What happened 😕
