I'll give it 5 years. Space is moving fast, starts with the tinkerers and small shops, the big boys will come soon enough after realizing the profit potential.
Use it as money and be apart of the circular economy.
Everything will build from that.
Something so simple and doing it around others will spark a curiosity of what's happening.
Depressed AF in a corpo job mindlessly working for someone elses dream and not having any time with family and barely scraping by.
CryptoCloaks gave me the freedom I wanted. I spend time with my family all the time, my kid comes in the shop whenever and I get to have lunch, go fishing, go to the park whenever I want.
Families more important than Bitcoin and in the end. I might be more fiat poor, but hell I'm richer in everything that matters.
Yeah! Love what Groot built out.
That's exactly what my mind was thinking, small time personal greenhouse heaters.
I honestly do not see anything taking Bitcoin out. It's for anyone.
I think what we'll see and kind of already are is the cypherpunk aspect of it fading into history. The Culture and community has changed so much over the 9 years I've been in it and I think as it just becomes more mainstream it'll just be some boring thing (Which is good, I like boring when it comes ot freedom money).
The greatest risk is forgetting where we came from and what we built from.
Appreciate you following the journey!
Crazy what an idea and a printer can turn into hahaha
I have not seen that before, I'll look into it. If I can get my intern to help promote/sell on there than I'd be game haha
As a vendor, it just needs to be REAL easy to use and see orders.
My favorite is always just designing "Boxes" that direct heat where the user wants. Simple or flashy the key is managing where the heat goes.
I love watching people use them for Greenhouses etc and I'd love to dig into this part deeper as one wanting my own greenhouse.
reliably detecting print issues mid print or always throwing errors when it's turned on.
I think as AI gets better and tuned, it will be so much better at detecting an issue with a print and on the spot changing what needs to be changed to fix it mid print.
The algos XD
The early days were easy to be seen. Bitcoin is all grown up.
I'll just blame the suits and ETFS!
THE LIGHTNING SHELL!!!!!!!!!!!
That was a fun period in time in the bitcoin space everyone being #reckless
Home mining is up there along side dabbling into more Bitcoin art myself.
The only problem is having a million ideas and not enough time in the day to do them all.
Believe in your idea sooner and go all in faster.
I played the safe route working a full time engineering job while building it up until it was basically burning me out working 20hour days and running the shop until 3am and then getting up at like 5am to go to work.
I'm extremely happy where I am now, I just see a lot of opportunity I could've had if I jumped in full time earlier.
Honestly the Bitcoin Grenade. It was a fun idea that was for a conference in 2020 and the way it took off and what it's become is truly something special.
I never expected to see it in so many hands.
Always makes me smile when I ship out another one.
For me it has always been BTCPAY Server. We've been running it for close to 7-8 years now and it's never let us down via on-chain or lightning.
The software stack has come along ways since the beginning.
For receiving, really don't have a preference. As long as the transaction goes through. There's so many good ones out there now it's hard to go wrong.
I know a lot of other companies do sell and probably make a lot more than online sales.
I've always just took them as an opportunity to showcase.
I'm probably missing a lot of revenue XD
Yeah... I honestly stay away from Bitcoin Loans. Seen to many people lose their bitcoin to companies getting rekt.
I think as time goes along, there will be more reliable places, but I just can't shake losing the stack due to a market crash.
This is always a tough question!
The Bitcoin Guitars we printed were seriously cool.
Printed a lot of guns also that were awesome. Made one a "McDonald's Big Mac gun" It's hilarious and also comes with a dipping sauce mount!
Some of the most simple things are my favorite in the end, like a christmas light clip I designed and put up on my house to hold lights easily.
I hope melting snow on driveways/pathways goes full send.
