Yesterday I announced my official departure from Unchained.
After 6 years (>315,000 blocks), 2 bull markets, 2 bear markets, 100,000+ bitcoin, >$1 billion in loan originations, and over 10,000 clients, it’s time for me to move on.
Helping build Unchained has been the highlight of my career.
Let me know what you'd like to work on together next!

@awaysliceI'm kicking off 2025 with some big personal news:
I'm taking a (small) step back from Unchained and will be acting as a strategic growth advisor moving forward.
I'm immensely proud of the things the team has accomplished during my time in product marketing.
2025 is going to melt brains. Hodl 🦾

Happy DAF day! Facts that will help you become a 10/10 donor:
1. You can donate just about anything to DAFs (want to clean up your exposure to shitcoins?)
2. You can invest DAF funds in almost anything while they're in the DAF (like bitcoin, start-ups, or bitcoin start-ups)
3. You can get tax benefits today so you can do things like offset capital gains, increase cost-basis, or complete a traditional to Roth IRA conversion, and then the funds within the DAF grow tax-free, so you can fund charities forever, Laura

If you're into mountain biking you absolutely must go to a World Cup race at some point. Their skills are outrageous and you get to just hang out with the pros after their races.

Now DAF users can send bitcoin directly to HRF by using bitcoin donor-advised funds, a strictly better DAF for charitable bitcoiners.
