From 2011 developer to 2025 Strategic Reserve advocate—building the future of sound money in New Hampshire.
I started with Bitcoin in 2011—not just as an investor, but as a builder. While most were still asking "What is Bitcoin?", I was developing extension and agent software for the Bitcoin network, exploring how this technology could fundamentally reshape money and property rights.
"Bitcoin is Rearden Steel. It's the hardest material—the hardest asset in the world to build an economic structure." — Michael Saylor at the Atlas Society Gala 2022, building on my analogy
Every Saturday at 6:30 PM, something special happened at the Strange Brew Tavern in Manchester, New Hampshire. The "Free State Bitcoin Consortium" held weekly meetups that became the heartbeat of the New England Bitcoin community.
By late 2012, these weren't casual gatherings—they were 18+ consecutive weeks of Bitcoiners meeting, trading, and building together. We welcomed people from Boston, Maine, Vermont, and beyond.
"We welcome bitcoiners from all over the area: Boston and Mass, Maine, Vermont, and of course anybody who happens to be here for leaf peeping." — BitcoinTalk announcement, 2012
My Bitcoin advocacy is rooted in the same principles that guided Ayn Rand and the Atlas Society: the belief that money should be an objective standard of value, not subject to arbitrary manipulation.
The parallel is clear: just as Rand argued that paper currency should be backed by gold, Bitcoin represents a new form of "digital gold"—scarce, verifiable, and beyond the control of any central authority.
Money should be a predictable yardstick for value, not a rubber band manipulated by governments.
Bitcoin operates on consensus and mathematics, not central authority.
Cryptographic ownership means perfected property rights without intermediaries.
Sound money enables creators to build for the future without fear of debasement.

My journey into Bitcoin was built on three decades of hands-on software engineering. Before NetMasters, I cut my teeth in enterprise software at Serif Inc. as VP Sales and Brainstorm Technologies as Director of New Business Development—learning how to translate technical capabilities into business value.
In 1995, I founded NetMasters LLC and personally architected FastNet Tools—the Internet Integration Tools that shipped bundled with Borland's Delphi and C++ Builder products. These weren't just add-ons; they were foundational tools that enabled millions of developers worldwide to internet-enable their applications in minutes rather than months.
The Borland partnership was transformative. As Karen Giles from Borland noted, NetMasters became "an integral part of the Borland developer community." I presented at multiple Borland Developers Conferences in both the US and Germany, teaching CGI Applications and Internet Protocol Applications to thousands of developers.
"George is an extremely bright entrepreneur. Knows the web inside and out and thinks of creative ways of delivering profits against it. Technically very astute and delivers." — Lance Devin, Group Product Manager, Borland Software Corporation
At Brainstorm Technologies, Alan Forbes (Product Manager) called me "a bulldog when it comes to uncovering and closing new business." Serif's CEO Gwyn Jones noted my combination of "technical astuteness and good grasp of markets and marketing," calling engineering and product development my "real forte."
As Co-founder of GoldenWare Network Services and VP of Software Engineering for FlightLookup.com since 2001, I've built cross-platform airline technology distributed to customers worldwide.
My involvement with the Trump campaign began before the famous escalator ride. On June 16, 2015, I was at the Trump campaign headquarters in Manchester, New Hampshire, when Trump announced his candidacy. The Boston Globe captured the scene: as staff struggled to get the feed working, I calmed the anxious crowd: "It is OK... We just want to hear two words: 'I'm in' or 'I'm out.'"
As a liberty Republican who had backed Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012, I brought credibility with the grassroots libertarian community that Trump needed to reach. My endorsement carried weight because I had spent years building the liberty movement in New Hampshire—from organizing Free State Project meetups to serving in the legislature.
In February 2015, months before the official announcement, I organized 32 liberty Republicans into a boardroom with Trump and drilled him for 25 minutes on constitutional issues. This wasn't a photo op—it was substantive vetting. I needed to know if Trump understood the Constitution and would respect liberty principles.
"I grew up as a strict constitutionalist. Let's say my brother got caught with a pack of cigarettes in his room and my mom went to punish him. My dad said, 'What are you doing in his room? You can't punish him, you didn't have jurisdiction to do the search.' I call myself a liberty Republican. I supported Ron Paul in the last two elections. I got interested in Donald Trump back in February. I put 32 liberty Republicans into a boardroom with him, and I drilled him for 25 minutes on tough issues. Even when you didn't agree with him, you knew that he was going to do exactly what he thought was right and that he cared about the country more than he did feathering his own nest... I would actually vote for a dead cat before I'd vote for another Bush — I would vote for Hillary over Jeb. I think Trump is going to do a better job even than Ronald Reagan." — George Lambert, New York Magazine, January 27, 2016
On December 10, 2015, the Trump campaign officially filed its slate of delegates to the Republican National Convention—and I was on that list. This meant I would represent New Hampshire at the RNC in Cleveland, casting votes to nominate Trump as the Republican candidate for President.
Throughout the 2016 primary campaign, I assisted at nearly every Trump visit to New Hampshire. I wasn't just a delegate—I was a validator who could speak to liberty-minded Republicans and explain why Trump deserved their support. My role was to bridge the gap between the liberty movement and the Trump organization, ensuring that constitutional conservatives had a voice in the campaign.
"George Lambert was one of the key liberty legislators in the NH House. His work on the Victimless Crime Bill and his principled stand on constitutional issues inspired a generation of liberty activists in New Hampshire." — Mark Warden, Representative, NH Legislature; Co-sponsor HB 1531
My legislative work on liberty issues has been covered extensively by the New Hampshire press:
"My bill, very simply states, 'Show us the victim.' The Constitution demands as much when it says people who enter society give up some rights to 'ensure the protection of others.' The 'others' are victims, and without them, there is no crime." — On HB 1531 (Victimless Crime Bill), Concord Monitor, Feb 10, 2012
"My concern is we're giving up our right to travel freely. It allows (the police) to do all kinds of investigations for which they did not have original probable cause." — On HB 1452 (Sobriety Checkpoints), New Hampshire Union Leader, Jan 31, 2012
