In five years, what do you hope for The Bitcoin Way and Birdflip?
Thanks for the Q. I hope The Bitcoin Way onboards 10K nodes to the network over the next five years. It's a key part of our services, and essential for Bitcoiners. Our team is also helping people relocate or gain residency to Panama, a Bitcoin-friendly, low-tax country and I hope more people see that "location insurance" is important to stay sovereign. Wealth in Bitcoin is step one, protect your energy and your work. Protecting "self" - the individual is also important. If you live in the US, it's easy to be blinded to how difficult some parts of the world are. When someone is looking to leave their country, keep their wealth intact, we're right there to guide, step by step.
Birdflip is a fun side project. To be honest, it turns a lot of people off. There's a good amount of Birdflip gear out there in the wild, which is cool. The cashier at my local grocery store laughs when I'm wearing Birdflip hoodie or hat. The idea was to start conversations that lead to Bitcoin. I'd say that's hit or miss. Most people react like I'm just flipping them the bird, which is fair lol.

I was in Panama a while back - like 20 plus years ago.
At a small bed and breakfast that we stayed at, the owner (a German guy who was trying to sell the business to us, lol) told us that once a person was his employee for 90 days, they are effectively your employee for life - you can't fire them (without a huge amount of time and expense). There were a couple stories similar to that one.
That indicated, to me, a lot of economic control by the government.
I assume/hope that Panama is no longer like this, and that there's a lot more economic freedom?
