 Hi, I'm Daniel. I've been a bitcoiner since before the blocksize war, so I've seen some shit.

I left my 25-year-long career in corporate adverisiting and branding last year to focus specifically on the bitcoin industry. I'd been planning to do this for a while, but after my third layoff in three years, it became obvious to me that this was the time to jump ship. Going to Nostrville, my first Nostr conference in November in Nashville and meeting some of my favorite plebs IRL who I'd gotten to know over the past year (and some even longer) solidified it for me.

I'd been coming to nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h for several months, and in December I got in touch with the founders and was invited to come on board to head up marketing for the media side of the company. It's been almost two months since I started, and I'm more inspired to come to work every day than I've been in my entire life.

I owe an insane amount of gratitude to my friends and fellow plebs who encouraged me to make this move and cheered me on from the start. You all know who you are, so no need to start a new hellthread!

🫂💜🤙
