10 years ago I built tools for anonymous trade. Today, I'm building tools for trust. If we want crypto to survive, we need to prove what’s real, what’s safe, and what’s ours. No hype. Just facts on-chain. Thanks to The Digital Chamber for having me on stage last month for

America risks losing its lead with #stablecoin tech if it doesn't prioritize #privacy. Will be sharing some more recap videos from March's #DCBlockchain Summit. Heading to #Bitcoin2025 for another panel on privacy. More details soon.

The The Bitcoin Conference agenda just dropped. I'll be joining Uncle Rockstar Developer (BTCPay Server), harryhalpin (Nym), and Carl Dong (Obscura: The Privacy-first VPN) on stage for a convo about, you guessed it, #privacy. Without it, crypto loses. See you at the #Bitcoin2025 Open Source Stage, 5/29

It's still too easy to go wrong in #Bitcoin. There should be more ways for #blockchain builders like me (and you) to liaise with regulators, lawmakers, and law enforcement.

Every new technology, not just #blockchain, has good actors and bad actors. I was once a bad one. But I got a rare opportunity for redemption. Now I'm trying to help fellow builders build safely.

Honesty and privacy are table stakes in #Bitcoin and any other crypto. Will be talking more about this on stage at The Bitcoin Conference with Uncle Rockstar Developer, harryhalpin, and Carl Dong → obscura.net. Open Source Stage on 5/29.

#Crypto is such a terrible technology for criminals. I used to be one! I'm proof that it doesn't work for bad actors. You *will* get caught.

It’s not enough to promise privacy or decentralization—you have to prove what’s real, what’s secure, and who controls what, all on-chain. We need to stay focused on making transparency and privacy work together, not at odds. My thoughts in TheStreet on the #crypto shifts few

Too many people (and gov'ts) believe that #Bitcoin + #crypto technology are just good for scams. I believe the tech is good for human rights.

I'm personally building #accounting software for businesses who accept #Bitcoin and other #crypto. Honest bookkeeping should be the guiding principal for our industry.

Speaking today at #Bitcoin 2025 about my arrest for running Silk Road 2.0 on Tor back in 2014, hours before Ross Ulbricht's keynote. Surreal, grateful! Discussing privacy tech with harryhalpin, Uncle Rockstar Developer, Carl Dong at 3PM on the Open Source stage, swing by!

BitAngels Houston City Leader Cryptosnax shared this gem with us! "Live on the Open Source Stage at The Bitcoin Conference, Blake Benthall of FathomX, a former SilkRoad2, BitAngels Singapore BA pitch winner"

Had a great panel about the privacy dangers of Bitcoin with Obscura: The Privacy-first VPN and Blake Benthall - and how to fix them. I am not the man in the mask, that’s the one and only Uncle Rockstar Developer. We at Nym use his self-hosted BTCPay Server software for payment.
