🧵 I’m in Wisconsin today, where Governor Evers has refused to opt his state into President Trump’s Education Freedom Tax Credit, falsely claiming it would hurt public schools. Here’s the truth about how the Education Freedom Tax Credit actually works:
WOW! We just received a $15,000 bitcoin grant to our 2026 operations fund from an @unchained bitcoin DAF! The grant was smoothly processed through @ZapriteApp into our @Strike business account!

All 2026 bitcoin donations will be held in BTC to fuel our operations.
Using the one and only bitcoin-native DAF, you can contribute bitcoin to charities like @BitcoinScholars without converting to dollars, while retaining control of a key. Learn more about bitcoin DAFs: unchained.com/donor-advised-…

The past month has been a big one for me professionally. I spoke at 3 conferences, hosted our final Austin Bitdevs after 5 years of monthly meetups, but biggest of all I made the very difficult decision to step down as VP of Engineering @unchained after over 6 years of building bitcoin-native financial services infrastructure. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunities I was given and proud of all we built in that time. It was a phenomenal team I had the pleasure to work with and help build over that time. In the meantime, this is far from the end of my bitcoin journey as I’m proud to announce that I’ve joined the Board of the Bitcoin Scholars Fund (@bitcoinscholars)! I'm honored to have been considered to join this group of proven bitcoin builders and educators and excited for what the next year will bring. Our mission is ambitious: raising $21 million for K-12 Bitcoin education by 2027. This goal resonates with me deeply as an educator, a father, and a long-time Bitcoiner. I’ve had the privilege of working with my fellow board members previously and admire the "start-up energy" they’re bringing to the non-profit sector. We aren't just funding kids; we’re building the foundational infrastructure for the next generation's financial literacy.
