Thought of the week from Marty Bent:‌‌‌
This is the most productive bear market I've ever been around for.

Thought of the week from ODELL:
Spent last weekend in Costa Rica working with activists and fedimint contributors with a focus on how bitcoin can best be used as a tool for freedom. Then spent this week hosting open source bitcoin contributors from around the world at Bitcoin Park in Nashville.

We are incredibly fortunate to have so many intelligent and passionate people focused on this mission. We must build out these tools, failure is not an option.

Current Fedimint development is focused on easy to use and private wallets that could replace usage of major custodial wallet providers such as Binance and Wallet of Satoshi. The same tech could be used to replace major custodial mining pools such as Foundry and AntPool as well.
