FOOTNOTES

We've got a couple of update announcements that I am pumped to share with you all. Unfortunately, I can't share any details at the moment, but you are going to love it.

But aside from the things I can't talk about right now, I wanted to tell you about strategic initiatives I can talk about:

So, what's the best way to engage with our readers and build more community? Twitter is great for blasting information, but we want to foster more communication and dialogue in our immediate community. To address this, we've stood up a Telegram group which is fed all of our articles for easy consumption. There are over 500 members today and it is constantly growing, but my hope is that we can break 1,000 members sometime soon and that it will become a place where people are sharing great content and ideas for all of us to read.

Community is a big growth opportunity for our team and we want to get it right. We're also considering new platforms for our community. While there is no final decision on that, we are kicking around the idea of hosting a Mastodon instance or even a white label community product that we can host. I will, of course, keep you posted on which way we go.
 

DID YOU KNOW

I am always searching for new articles for Bitcoin Magazine. If you have an article that you'd like to contribute, please hit me up! We have some very basic guidelines, but at the end of the day, we want to share original and thoughtful ideas with our readers.

Talk to you next week!

-Joe
