Bitcoin Is Inspiration
What frame of mind abounds as we close out one year and welcome the next?
Shout out to my friend Peter Dunworth, who last night typified everything that is so exciting about Bitcoin, with his heart warming call to wish me and my family Happy Christmas. We ended up chatting for a couple of hours, touching on multiple areas of interest, leaving me pumped for what 2022 has in store.
We became friends back in November 2020, after Parker Lewis and Michael Tanguma kindly introduced us, as part of some due diligence I was conducting on the Unchained Capital multi-sig self-custody product. Not only did I proceed with the excellent service at Unchained, but Pete has helped to deepen my conviction in Bitcoin, through multiple phone calls throughout the year.
Without sharing too much about his background, his grasp of Bitcoin is second to none, whilst his professional career ensures that his opinion of the asset can be trusted. Critically, I am happy to admit, utilising the research of characters like this is something that should be lauded; the opposite of the all too regular school-like stance of “oi, are you copying my work!?!?”
However the most pertinent part of the conversation I would like to convey, was when he reminded me of a tweet I had sent, in which I stated “Bitcoin Is Inspiration”. Make no mistake this is the crux of my passion for the subject, sparking avenues of wide-ranging conversation, with intriguingly profound implications.
How do we see the future? What is money? Why does truth matter? All important questions that have been asked for centuries, but note, never more poignant given we have a technology like Bitcoin to build upon. For Pete, he felt that “being inspired” was the most important ingredient we have, with idea after idea cropping up as we talked.
So as we close out the year, I would like to send big hugs to all the Bitcoiners I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know, and the future friendships around the corner; 2022 is going to be a year full of inspiration… Happy Christmas to you and your families!
We’re So Bloody Early
