We formed @BTC_Coalition so we could focus on a mature, low time preference dialogue to educate legislators and local communities. Bitcoin does provide an offramp from the wheel of debt and powerlessness many experience. We’re just getting started with growing a great team.

FYI when you apply rubbing alcohol to a warm hand with rosin on it- it only dries out the water and makes the hand stickier. This was an own goal from the umpiring crew. The alcohol allows the sweat/ water to evaporate, leaving behind a stickier substance, like spilling a soda

MLB needs to take a look in the mirror before pawning issues off on one player with a pretty great track record of doing everything right. For over a decade they have failed to promote individual players. Teams are just as guilty of not wanting to promote players.
