@JohanMBergman @TheBitcoinLayer @timevalueofbtc @AugustineCarrB It’s been an absolute honor working and learning from you Johan!

Around this time one year ago, I started writing for @thebitcoinlayer. What a journey it has been! I'm blessed to have a mentor like @timevalueofbtc, who has a ton of knowledge and is able to explain and teach difficult topics to me and others. @AugustineCarrB is a great colleague who is becoming a true friend over time, and @demianschatt is upcoming talent with great potential and a powerful 'can-do' mentality. Grateful to be part of this team 🙏 Together we've built the latest addition to our service, TBL Pulse, a great place for bitcoin and liquidity data. Included for TBL Pro members and also available as a standalone service. We're doing a free webinar on May 6th at 11am PT. Get involved 👇 t.co/lsl1R0DFfc

@Halstonvalencia @IanAsh_27 @StayBolted W for our generation

After months of weekends learning, building, and planning, I’m excited to finally announce a project @IanAsh_27 and I have been working on: @staybolted A platform built to support our main offering: The Weekly BOLT — a newsletter outlining the economic storm. There’s a storm forming in the global financial system. Most people don’t see it. And fewer know how to prepare. BOLT exists to educate, simplify, and help people navigate this storm. The site is live now. The newsletter drops early next year. On our site you’ll find Storm Watch, our archive of analysis, essays, and breakdowns tracking the storm. We’ll be writing about the signals we believe everyone should see, and we’ll be publishing other voices who share this mission. @Strategy is bridging the gap between traditional finance and Bitcoin, so we’re building Capital Bridge with @bitcoinquant, an investment modeler that shows what Strategy’s financial instruments look like in the real world. Because the mission is the same: To reshape the financial system through Bitcoin, starting where the old system still holds power. We’re building in public, and there’s so much more to come. Sound money isn’t optional in a storm, it’s survival. Stay Bolted. ⚡️

@Halstonvalencia @LawrenceLepard @LynAldenContact @jackmallers @saifedean @adamobrien LFG! Amazing to see so many Trojan Bitcoiners killing it after graduation. Congrats!!

I just graduated from USC. I now have a bachelor’s in Business Economics and a master’s in Marketing, where I took over 42 units of finance and economics courses. And still, none of those courses taught me what I learned on my own. No class explained the truth about the broken system we live in. It was brushed off. I found that through late nights and early mornings studying Bitcoin, questioning fiat, and questioning everything I had ever been taught about economics, realizing the financial world is built on sinking sand. Reading Broken Money by @LynAldenContact built the foundation. Reading The Bitcoin Standard and Principles of Economics by @saifedean connected the dots. The Big Print by @LawrenceLepard lit the fire. @jackmallers podcast helped me put words to what I was feeling. Rage, urgency, hope, and purpose. And hearing @adamobrien talk about Bitcoin as a way to protect his kids’ future made me realize I want that too. Bitcoin gave me clarity. It gave me hope. Choosing Bitcoin isn’t about wealth. It’s about building something real for my future family. It’s the hardest money there is, one that comes with strong conviction. I’m making a decision now, to become someone my future kids will be proud of and grateful for. A decision to reject comfort. To choose discipline over dopamine. I don’t want to waste my 20s watching Love Island, mindlessly scrolling TikTok, or watching football each week. I want to understand the truth behind financial markets and why the system is built to keep us dependent. I want to see through all the noise, stack sats, build conviction, become unshakable, and tell the story of sound money. I’m not like the rest of my generation, and I’m okay with that. #bitcoin #getbased #soundmoney #saifedean #lynalden #larrylepard #jackmallers #adamobrien #thebitcoinwell

@21MMforthe21st @TEDx This is INCREDIBLE. There is BRIGHT hope for the future!!

Bitcoin is an “Idea Worth Spreading.” Yesterday, I had the gift of sharing it on the @TEDx Cornell stage. I’m deeply grateful to the @TEDx Cornell team for the opportunity, and to every person whose work, wisdom, and support made this possible. “Ideas Change Everything.”

I’ve sent them a follow-up note pushing back on those restrictions. Not because I’m desperate to use Mailchimp — there are plenty of great alternatives I’ve learned about from this community — but because they need to understand why supporting the Bitcoin community matters.

UPDATE: Mailchimp reinstated our account this morning under very specific terms: we’re not allowed to talk about exchanging bitcoin. I’m so grateful to everyone who elevated the visibility of this — and for the overwhelming show of support. Truly humbled!

@natbrunell Can’t believe that happened to you! Sounds like a common theme, but quickly seeing that the Bitcoin community is a resilient breed

@demianschatt This happened to me a few years ago! That is why my newsletter is now on Substack. So sorry to hear they haven’t updated their policy.

Mailchimp just permanently disabled our USC Bitcoin Club account. No warning. No appeal. Just gone. Why? Because we “violated their terms of service” by mentioning Bitcoin. This is insane — here’s what happened 🧵

@GhostofWhitman @Mailchimp Hahahaha

@demianschatt Hey @Mailchimp

@z_malloc This wins😂

@demianschatt This needs broader exposure. Reparations Jerry, REPARATIONS!!!

@StuntPope @AWeber Great to know, appreciate it!!

Never.use.mailchimp. Ideally - use your own self-hosted Mautic instance, but if you have to use a third-party ESP, @AWeber is solid, better than Mailchimp - and doesn't impose their own belief system on your content.

@SimplestBTCBook @Mailchimp @sendxio Haha, thank you!! Yup, for sure looking into others..

@demianschatt This is unbelievable, so sorry this happened, and thanks for letting us know. Was considering using @Mailchimp but no more! Seen ppl mention @sendxio and Beserker Mail.. going to look into them and hope one of them can work for you too.

@RonakPakzad @Mailchimp @beehiiv Thanks I’m checking them out! Heard some good things

@demianschatt @Mailchimp is so 2010s use something else like @beehiiv

@GaryCardone You’re a legend, hope they get the message

Retards. Everyone abandon mailchimp

@WillemSchroe Ridiculous!

@demianschatt Yep, we also got banned.

@mitchellaskew @blockware Unbelievable

@demianschatt They did the same thing to our account @blockware a couple years ago They hate Bitcoin

@without_rulers You are a LEGEND, THANK YOU man!!

@demianschatt @demianschatt If this isn’t reversed, I will make a custom shirt or hoodie for each of your club leaders free of charge. It will feature a theme related to censorship, mail chimp, and Bitcoin freedom. Say the word
