"Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing."
— Ron Swanson

Focus. Easily spoken, hard to live by. There are many lessons that Bitcoin teaches, and one that is more clearly true the older I get, is that every single thing in a trade off. And not just solutions, or tools, or networks, but the very thing that you spend your time thinking about, at the expense of all other things. What dreams you spend your time building, at the expense of all other dreams. What new ideas you begin, at the expense of what you've already started, and not yet finished.

Its time for an overdue change, and today I wanted to share my thoughts, how we got here, and what to expect in the future.
