A year ago today at my TEDx Talk, I told the story of how a spreadsheet at 13 taught me I could only afford to live to 79. Not because of my health, but because of our money. No one should have to calculate how long they can afford to live. Bitcoin is “an idea worth spreading” because for the first time, 8+ billion people can plan for life.

Ironically, for a thesis about language and communication, a thesis is inherently a bit of a monologue.

After hearing my conversation with @Danny Knowles & @Troy Cross on What Bitcoin Did, @Sydney Bright reached out to read it, which meant an incredible amount on its own. Then he went a step further and wrote a deeply thoughtful article in response.

Thank you for the gift of turning my monologue into a dialogue, @Sydney Bright!

The @Bitcoin Students Network Summit is now live!

@HODL with a spot on message to Gen Z: “Bitcoin is a philosophy of rational optimism…You do have a future….You need to plan accordingly as if you have a future. And, you need to do that in a rationally optimistic way.”
