Checkout if you're the 1 in 22 that made it to the @Cypher Tank final


Only 8 made it (plus some runner up contacted in case the first won't confirm)

Why only 8 over 12 places for the finalists?

We reserved 4 places for 3 special events:

- the summer school hackathon which already selected a project in July (🇳🇮)

- 2 finalists will be selected from the Lugano semifinal on the 14th of October

- 1 finalist will be selected from the RGB hackathon in Turin (17/18 of October)

P.s. I would have chosen every single of you if it was on me, but the judges had to judge

A Bitcoin career is not something you simply find. You build it by developing useful skills, communicating your ideas, learning by doing, and creating roles that didn’t exist before.

A new block with @Dusan Matuska of @AmityAge on escaping the fiat job and building a life around Bitcoin... and so much more.

He's one of the best educators in the bitcoin space and he's really inspiring to talk with every single time.

Also don't forget to check out Amity Age's courses... they are life-changing!

“I’m here to win”

Matteo Spinosa delivered one of the most memorable lines from the first edition of @Cypher Tank and it worked out quite well, as he finished 2nd among 159 applicants.

In this block interview, we talk about his company, doefin, hash rate markets, why Lugano PlanB ecosystem is the right place for a startup to thrive, and how Cypher Tank helped make that possible, all filmed in the beautiful Expo Room by Sbam

Bitcoin can do more than replace fiat payments.

It can unlock entirely new ways to transfer value and even change human behavior.

A new episode of A New Block featuring Roy Sheinfeld is out now. We talk about Lightning, building what doesn’t exist yet, leaving a fiat job behind, finding purpose, @Breez ⚡️ and, of course, Lugano.

Check it out, it’s a very special one.

Privacy is not a given.

You have to defend it every day. Just like you brush your teeth. Without privacy, there are no human rights.

In this block with @Lyudmyla Kozlovska we talked about Bitcoin, private payments, digital authoritarianism, data weaponization, chat control...
and chocolate
and @Cypher Tank because we're proud supporters of Lyudmila and her work.

Check out the full block (or 2) interview & please share it, her work really deserves circulation ⬇️

Wife interviewing husband on a podcast… in another language?
What could possibly go wrong? 😄

We talked Bitcoin history, the future of PlanB Lugano, @Cypher Tank & a lot of love 🫶🏼 + randomness

New episode with @Giacomo Zucco is out!
Enjoy the Italian comedy 🇮🇹

https://youtu.be/4j3KFZR8kDE?is=WvrY-P81I4ofglZ6

In this episode, I sit down with @preston, another incredible bitcoiner who doesn't need any presentation.

It's funny that we recorded this podcast while I was on my very long sabbatical with my podcast and now I restarted again and Preston is taking a break on his 🙂

So at this point it's a rare occasion to listen to Preston. We talked about:

- how people react when you go all-in on Bitcoin
- Bitcoin jobs & education
- funding Bitcoin founders
- Bitcoin treasury companies
- humility in the Bitcoin space
- open-source thinking

and of course, Lugano!

Enjoy! 🙂
