- Very few. We've helped folks with no technical background all the way to 80 year olds who are now self-sovereign and running a node.
- Long story short: you buy the phone hardware and we help you strip the spyware OS that is currently on it and instead install an open-source, privacy-based operating system. Then we'll help you download privacy-oriented apps that aren't sharing your data. You can even buy a SIM that isn't attached to your identity for the real Jason Bourne lifestyle. TONS of benefits to this and would highly recommend.

We are one of the few unwavering on principle - 100% self-custody only, no paper Bitcoin, no third party trust, no KYC, etc.
Very few adhere to all of these even if they agree to some.
And yes, Tony 😆
Great question. Started my career in cybersecurity consulting before doing a decade of SaaS sales (selling cyber/privacy compliance tools, funny enough as I now hate the notion of "compliance"). I then started and sold a cybersecurity business with my brother, joined an AI startup and left that pretty quickly to join The Bitcoin Way!
Fiat slave - goldbugs get the problem, XRP holders are dumb but at least open to "something else being the thing"
Fiat slaves don't want their worldview wrecked
I didn't finish it but got through enough to believe...
There are two sides to every moment of history, and we are only taught one. To be critical thinkers we need to evaluate all the facts, not just the mainstream narratives we've been fed.
Some but far less (at least as we know it today). People will always seek out opportunities to "get ahead" and make more money. And that is a good thing if it isn't done out of desperation and in the form of gambling/speculating (the latter of which is most of what people think of as "investing" today.
People will "invest" in a deflationary world by building productive businesses, funding startups that they've more thoroughly vetted, etc.
I was a good sport about it. The fact that an unmemorable guy like me has an unforgettable name is a blessing.
That said, I have to deal with a lot of the same comments
"You're Michael Jordan! I bet year hear a lot about that..."
"Did you play basketball?"
"Were your parents huge Chicago Bulls fans?"
😂
I give them a hard time about it but their reason is actually decent. I was born in '89 when Michael Jordan was ascending - he hadn't won his championships.
My mom just liked the name Michael and my dad (while not a big sports fan) is from Indiana, THE basketball state here in the US. They thought it seemed like a good fit.
Never could they anticipate what would happen in the 90s and what it would be like showing up to school every day with the most famous name on earth...
We'll ask for new applications - we receive too many to revisit old ones in the event that some people are no longer interested or available.
Easy. Having Ben Wehrman on. The REAL Bitcoin GOAT.
In all seriousness, it's probably been the way we keep the show running even when I'm on the road. I remember recording from a hotel room in Vegas with Sphere in the background, in an Airbnb Athens last year while there meeting with the TBW team, and in a cabin in the mountains of Utah while connected to a Starlink.
Pretty cool that we just make things happen.
We filled three such roles a few months back and are considering an additional hire in the coming year. Stay tuned...
Phew, that's a tough one. Not much surprises me anymore.
That said... I've been surprised at how much philosophical division there is within Bitcoin. We are definitely not all anarcho capitalists hellbent on a bright orange future.
"Bitcoin fixes this."
I don't think Bitcoin "fixes" anything. It realigns incentives but HUMAN ACTION is what fixes broken things.
Growth effort as my role as CGO? I'd have to say our YouTube channel where we seek to educate the masses on Bitcoin. We went from a couple of thousand passive listeners at the beginning of last year to almost 10k today with lots of comments each time 🔥
Great question. Our self-custody training is still our bread and butter, especially in terms of number of individuals helped.
However, we're seeing more and more people looking at the news our of Australia, the UK, Canada, and other places who are growing VERY interested in our Plan B residency program.
It takes guts to fully own your wealth. Most people think they can't, aren't technically capable, don't know where to start, or simply can't imagine taking the responsibility for their lives... unfortunately.
