I'm very grateful to everyone who took part in the Genesis Sequencer Sale and the Public Sale. Also very grateful for the @aztecnetwork team who is never deterred and incredibly diligent. Aztec incorporated 2,924 days ago. Today it's day 0 once again. Onwards!

Becoming more and more convinced that Britain just doesn't want to be prosperous. That people want to be virtuous in the face of adversity and crises more than they want plenty. That wealth and abundance are seen as unbecoming, embarrassing.

B̶r̶a̶t̶ British Summer I moved here in 2015. Some time in 2016 is the first time I remember coming back from visiting family in Switzerland and, on final approach to Gatwick, feeling like I was coming home. There are many things I wish were better. I wish we built more homes.

Can I be honest? I fucking hate this indefinite optimism. Nothing is preordained. We will win through effort, not "cycles".

Replying to @PrinceVogel
What California excels at is taking everything as seriously as it can be taken. The MIT hackers, the German hippies, the Swiss psychedelic folks were all too self-conscious

It's been a 7 year long (!) act of desperation. It's impossible to convey how little we wanted to build infrastructure, let alone have to do cryptography research. We wanted to build applications, from day one. We just couldn't do it without privacy.
