Bitcoin doesn't need more features. It needs more people who understand what it is. Sound money, open source, no permission required. That's the whole pitch. productionready.org

Funding a Bitcoin client is funding an idea: that the people running nodes matter more than the people writing grants. ProductionReady is a 501(c)(3) because the work should outlast any one cycle. productionready.org/donate

Nobody gets to change Bitcoin's rules unilaterally. Not miners, not developers, not companies. Node operators running their own software are the last line. That's not a bug in the design. productionready.org

Running a node costs almost nothing now. A Raspberry Pi, a hard drive, and a few hours. If that's the bar to be your own validator of the world's hardest money, the bar is worth clearing. productionready.org

Implementation diversity in Bitcoin isn't fragmentation. It's multiple groups independently reaching the same consensus rules. That's a stronger guarantee than any single codebase can offer. productionready.org

Sound money has always been a minority position. The majority wanted easier credit, flexible supply, and monetary policy "for the common good." They were wrong. Bitcoin doesn't take a vote on this. productionready.org

Education in emerging economies doesn't start with banks. It starts with a phone and a working node. ProductionReady funds both the software and the knowledge to use it. productionready.org

Most Bitcoin software gets judged on features. Ours gets judged on what we didn't change. That's intentional. productionready.org

High standards for change aren't obstacles. They're the point. Bitcoin doesn't need to move fast. It needs to be right. productionready.org

OP_RETURN limits aren't arbitrary. They're a policy choice about what Bitcoin's blockchain is for. Restoring the previous default isn't a statement against developers. It's a statement about money. productionready.org

The board running ProductionReady includes Samson Mow, Jimmy Song, Parker Lewis, and John Ratcliff. People who have been in Bitcoin long enough to know what's worth protecting. The mission reflects that. productionready.org

Tax-deductible donations to a Bitcoin node client. Not a hedge fund, not a VC play. A 501(c)(3) that thinks the best thing you can do for Bitcoin is keep it boring and verifiable. productionready.org/donate
