Was it difficult to raise money for a startup based in Canada? Did you consider moving to the US/Europe to build, or did you find that the bitcoin ecosystem doesn't care about location?
Also... wen 🤖?

It was not too bad actually!
The trick is to be prepared to spend a couple months in the Bay Area / NYC / (maybe Austin for BTC startups?) - the places with high concentration of US VC's.
I think BTC ecosystem doesn't care about location!
But I can see how there may be an advantage early on to being in a BTC hub city like Austin / Nashville where there is a larger pre-existing location to tap into!

Re: Android we plan to make Atomic.Finance available on Android one day. Unfortunately no ETA at the moment. We're still pretty focussed on iterating the iOS version currently and improving that first!
If you have an iPad or M-series MacBook by chance, you'll still be able to use it 🤙

if and when you go android - skip the play store! And avoid any hard requirement for google service framework.
Make your apk available on github, and the freedom fighters will love you for it.
