Century Metadata Chats

Join me!

Working on refining my pitch deck after some feedback, and also setting up Proton mail and suite for team collaboration. Not a very "tech" day...

I asked ChatGPT to craft a pitch from some taking points. First sentence: "Century Metadata exists because we are finally asking the wrong question." Shit. I'm gonna have to do this myself, aren't I?

I think we will need Century Metadata: done well it will become a foundational resource for Bitcoiners, and provide a level of insurance and reassurance we can rely on. But infrastructure isn't sexy. Just essential. So I need to think about this...

Hello World! I'm going to use this to talk about the (attempted!) development of Century Metadata, both at the technical and social layers. Until I get an intern: then they can shitpost here.
