I’ve started teaching a series of bitcoin workshops. The goal of this project is to help people learn about bitcoin, that’s all. I plan to open source this workshop, as in I’ll share pretty much every resource I use and the steps I take to teach it. It’s not very Read more…
Kate Bush’s recent success with the hit song Running Up That Hill because of Stranger Things is a perfect example of why I say you need to own your copyright. In a brilliant move that ended up being the best decision of her career, she produced, sang and funded the Read more…
