Built on Bitcoin Newsletter #1

What is up you beautiful people!

Thank you for subscribing to Built on Bitcoin newsletter. I started collecting addresses many months ago and have left them dormant, until now.You can expect these on a weekly basis from here on out. Let's jump in!

Noteworthy this week

• DeFi protocol ALEX released their roadmap for the next year. They have an aggressive list of features they want to release by the end of the year, Including their own scalability solution to bring features like high-frequency trades and high volume NFT mints. We've seen ALEX deliver thus far, there should be no doubt.

• OkCoin has been integrated as a fiat on-ramp directly into the Hiro Wallet. Unfortunately it's only available for users outside the US for now. All love for OkCoin who have been early supporters of Stacks. (Not an OkCoiner yet? Sign up here)

• Since we're talking OkCoin, I had a fantastic conversation with their Head of Listings & Community - Alex Chizhik. We discuss cryptos role in the Ukraine-Russia crisis, The evolution of crypto exchanges (Coinbase NFT?), and much more. Highly recommend and worthy of your time. Full episode HERE.

• The MiamiCoin Web3 Developer Bootcamp has officially started. Over 100 developers are in this current cohort to learn Clarity (Stacks programming language) and bring utility to the app store for cities - CityCoins.

• There's a few more items that I caught but I won't clutter your inbox to much here. Catch the latest episode of This Week in Stacks to get the whole list.

Building a community

Buzzword alert. It's time to start building the Built on Bitcoin community.I think i've been a decent megaphone for Stacks, but haven't been that great at connecting with you all individually, and more importantly, giving you a place to come together as a collective.

To fix it, We now have a home in Discord! (wen Console?)Jon the conversation HERE.

With the launch of the Discord as a central place to talk Stacks & Bitcoin.I'm creating some special perks for anyone who holds an NFT from the release of the first NFT collection "Built on Bitcoin Thousand True".This collection is for my day 1 supporters, My thousand true fans.The perks get you access to the Inner Circle channels where you get:-Early access to every podcast episode-See whose on the calendar to be interviewed next-Sneak Peeks I won't post anywhere else-and support your favorite podcast!If you missed the initial mint, There's some currently listed at the Mint Price over on your marketplace of choice.Gamma - Byzantion
