What I've been working on
Fiat Morality - I make the argument that morality given to us by the elites has a purpose and is generally less trustworthy than Natural Law. The cause, as usual is fiat money, which gives so many rent-seeking jobs. Virtue signaling is really a way to lobby for rent-seeking jobs.
Learn HD Wallets - I taught this at Bitcoin++ to a bunch of students and I will be updating this for bconf.de. This is very much in the style of my book and my seminar for learning HD wallets. The material is a bit raw since I’ve only taught it once, but if you’re interested in learning BIP32/BIP44/BIP39, this is a repository that can teach you step by step.
ChattBitcoin - Video isn’t out yet, but I had a great time in Chattanooga hanging out with folks. The town is lovely and the barbecue is pretty good, though I’m still partial to Texas BBQ. The Bitcoin scene here is growing and the town is probably what Austin looked like 20 years ago. In other words, a good place if you’re looking for a growth city.
What I'm up to
El Salvador Scholarships - If you are a developer in Central America, please, please, please apply for this scholarship. I would love to teach you in San Salvador July 18-19. Applications are due July 1 and there is assistance available for those that need to travel.
GLG Roundtable - If you are part of the GLG network, I have a group call coming up on Thursday. Ask me whatever questions you might have given the current market!
Europe - I’m planning to spend a good chunk of time in Europe starting in August. Among other conferences, Baltic Honeybadger and bconf.de are two that I’m planning to speak at. If you have other conferences that you think I should consider, please email me.
