Jimmy once bought about $100 worth of beef jerky with Bitcoin back in 2013 for 0.25 BTC. Good beef jerky, but not THAT good. That's one major regret. He also got scammed out of 2.5 BTC when he bought a Alitin Mint Adam Smith 2 BTC coin. Those guys had a copy of the private key and the bitcoins on the coin got stolen a few years ago. Another major regret.

Jimmy's goal is to bring sound money to the world. Bitcoin is the one chance at defunding and decentralizing the power of the oligarchy. Making more developers for the ecosystem is his passion.

Robert Breedlove is a Bitcoin-focused entrepreneur, writer, and philosopher. He was raised in Tennessee attending Southern Baptist Churches but spent most of his life spiritual yet agnostic. Through his explorations down the proverbial “Bitcoin rabbit hole,” Robert found himself becoming reacquainted with Christiantity at the age of 33. He was particularly inspired by Austrian economics and the teachings of Jordan Peterson, which helped him reconcile his purely objective outlook on reality with its more subjective dimensions of valuation, morality, and meaning. Robert considers himself a Freedom Maximalist and believes he has found his life’s work in the Bitcoin space as a contributor to the separation of money and state. Through his writing and media work, Robert aims to elucidate the importance of freedom and self-sovereignty across all spheres of human action. Find Robert on Twitter (@Breedlove22) where he posts about Bitcoin, macroeconomics, and philosophy.

J.M. Bush is a pastor and church planter currently working in Latin America. Jesus Christ changed his life while in high school, and ever since his life's goal has been to know Him and make Him known to the ends of the earth. He has always been driven to understand the inner workings of ideas and systems of belief, whether political, religious, economic or otherwise, and believes that the Judeo-Christian scriptures represent the matrix through which the rest of the world can be most accurately understood, evaluated, and appreciated.

He was introduced to Austrian economics in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis through the work of Ron Paul which started the series of falling dominos that eventually led him down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. He also enjoys reading and playing (an ever decreasingly quality of) basketball.
