Outside of Bitcoin life, I race triathlons.
I came in 19/204 in today’s race, and 2nd for my age group.
Feeling pretty good about the performance, as I raced just 36 hours after getting off a flight from Tokyo to New York.
Let’s gooooooo 🚀

I keep a room at the hospital
I scratch my accidents into the wall
I couldn't wait to breathe your breath
I cut in line, I bled to death
I got to you, there was nothing left”

I contacted @Jeff Booth to have a discussion about how to talk to politicians about Bitcoin, as he's helped certain politicians see the Bitcoin light.
We touched on this, but Jeff focused more on explaining how the sea change we're currently experiencing eclipses outdated political dichotomies.

One of the first things I noticed - and love - is that they use bamboo for scaffolding here!

Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew Galeotti's talk today on how the DoJ will approach prosecuting Bitcoin and crypto devs moving forward was stirring in some ways and concerning in others.
I’m mostly concerned that Galeotti left the door open for further prosecutorial overreach.
