BITCOIN, come unto me,
I hear you whispering, calling me,
Buzzing, against my ears, through fibre optic,
Borne on electromagnetic waves,
You are sounding, calling,
Through the ether, the internet,
Consciousness arising,
The future arising,
At TBD54566975, our mission is simple: to unleash the power of automatic computing machines, linked together through a complex web of signal-carrying wires, employing cryptographic algorithms, to allow for secure financial transactions for all!
🛰We’re partnering with
@circlepay
to solve some of our biggest money challenges, including decentralized, global on-and-off-ramps between fiat and crypto worlds that can power global use cases from cross-border remittances to self-custody of stablecoins
greetings from space. we relocated our social media operation to space. we think this will give us a new unique perspective in which to engage with you and bring new and exciting space perspectives on space from space to you. stay tuned! -the tbd space social medial team

DeFi Bitcoin business:
I'm skeptical about it.
Jack will have to create his own system that will force rules and the Bitcoins will be owned by a multi-sig wallet controlled by Jack/participants.
GM. I have some personal news: 5 years after establishing Decentralized Identity at Microsoft, where I had the opportunity to work with great folks developing open source DID infrastructure (e.g. ION), standards, and products, I am joining Square to lead Decentralized Identity.
Fun fact: Apple has hidden a copy of Satoshi's

whitepaper in every Mac since 2018. A tech blogger stumbled upon a PDF of "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System"; apparently, it's been in every copy of macOS since the release of Mojave.

According to my tech savvy kids, who are social media consultants and influencers, we now have 50k followers. They just showed me how to check the profile myself. That's so exciting! I wanted to thank all of you "netizens" for believing in us!

: not only did dana not bring her space suit, she snuck a cat on board. so we literally have a cat floating around in zero-g. it's pretty nuts. we don't know what she was thinking. but as far as we know, this is the first space cat. so that's kind of cool.

: okay. space capture the flag was a really bad idea. i don't even want to talk about it. bob is really traumatized by the whole thing. tbd ground control says something went wrong with our launch and we are on a "hyperbolic trajectory".

An open approach is 🔑 to enable global-scale, mainstream adoption of digital currency in payments and financial applications. The first step of which will support cross-border remittances and self-custody wallets that can hold stablecoins
hi. this tweet is intended for darryl harrison. i got your message but you didn't leave your number and there was no caller id, so I just want to let you know I put the keys behind the potted plant near the back entrance. can you also feed my cat? thanks d!

we just love thursday at tbd, which is why we are wishing you all a very special thursday, for you and your family. tell us how you're spending your thursday 👇
we're bringing back the tbd space program, and re-instating our old social media team, after they were summarily dismissed by stuffy corporate overlords over a year ago, who cancelled our space-based social media operation. this was a BAD mistake, as you probably already know! 🚀
