Not Just an Adopter—A Builder
While most were asking "What is Bitcoin?" in 2011, I was developing extension and agent software for the network. My background in distributed systems, cryptography, and network architecture at NetMasters and FlightLookup gave me the lens to recognize what Satoshi had actually solved.
The Manchester Bitcoin meetups at Strange Brew Tavern weren't about trading—they were about building a community of people who understood that money could be different. Week after week, we gathered to discuss the technical, philosophical, and practical aspects of cryptocurrency.
Today, that work continues through Verae LLC and advocacy for New Hampshire's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The vision that started in 2011 is still unfolding.
