Three years ago, we lost our product, revenues, and all our customers. A very public failure.
1 month later, we re-launched
@shakepay
.
Today,
@shakepay
is a top 10 financial app on the 🇨🇦 App Store.
Never quit.
Today, I will be testifying in Ottawa at the blockchain technology parliamentary committee.
I hope to make my case for why
#bitcoin
, not blockchain, is the revolutionary change and how policy makers should focus on building an environment that fosters its adoption in Canada.

I built a Twilio “app” for my dad that reroutes calls to his dad in Lebanon. He calls a local number and reroutes directly, costs 10x less and never drops.
The Great Canadian Stagnation 🇨🇦
- wealth accruing to landlords
- health care system critically over capacity every year
- small businesses underwater (mega chains dominate)
- low birth rates, low interest rates
- no compelling vision of the future
few talk about this

Now that everyone’s talking about
#bitcoin
again, it’s worth remembering that bitcoin is more than just it's price, it's a public good that's available to everyone.
I shared this to MPs in Canadian parliament last year.

Canada's central bank has sold off 1,000+ tons of gold reserves over the past fifty years, buying mainly US dollars, while an ounce of gold has gone from $35 to $1900.
You'll be delighted & flattered to hear these clowns think bitcoiners are not financially literate!

Seems there's some "crossing the Rubicon" that once a state offers too much, it cannot be saved.
Where do you think this line was for Argentina?
Yesterday was a crazy day in the crypto world.
@shakepay
held up well when other platforms were down.
Big shoutout to the engineering team for making resiliency a core feature of Shakepay 🙌
Super backed up in verifying customer accounts. Record signups
@shakepay
over the last few weeks. Never seen this before.
Lots of it is manual rn but we've started the switch to an automated verification. Give it a try!
And we're hiring in dev & ops roles, DM if interested.

Hi Mr. Peterson, I run
@shakepay
a top 10 finance app that allows Canadians to buy Bitcoin.
We've made it easy for hundreds of thousands of Canadians to control their wealth and escape perils of a collapsing Tower of Babel.
I'd be more than happy to help you too.
