bitcoin and open source companies are some of the most interesting and innovative companies that exist today. There are a handful of companies that I personally think are going to grow exponentially as bitcoin rises in price and becomes a more established asset class, and if investing in them were available to unaccredited bitcoiners like me, it would be a no-brainer.
But today that may have changed. timestampa new platform that allows accredited and non-accredited investors to invest in bitcoin and open source companies, has officially launched. Timestamp promises users that they can invest in bitcoin companies with “low investment minimums” where users can review offerings, connect directly with the founders of these companies, and explore select opportunities. Sounds great!
The idea of making investing in bitcoin and open source companies more accessible to the masses really interests me, and I think many other Bitcoiners would agree. After working in this industry for a few years, I definitely realized that finding funding to support open source companies and projects can be quite difficult. But a platform that allows many more people to come together to invest in and support these companies could really be a game-changer.
At launch, users can now invest in the first batch of bitcoin companies on the platform:
CASCDR: a set of artificial intelligence services payable in bitcoin
Jippi – A Gamified Educational App That Helps bitcoin Beginners Learn and Earn Money
Lightning Bounties – A platform built into Github that rewards software developers with bitcoin for their contributions
Shopstr: a global, decentralized marketplace built on Nostr
Sovereign: a wallet designed for the bitcoin standard
I will definitely be paying attention to what other companies are added to this platform in the future, and I think you should too.
More than three years ago, I asked Timestamp founder and CEO Dr. Arman Meguerian to speak with me on stage at the bitcoin 2021 Conference in Miami, and he joined me for a great conversation about bitcoin Maximalism with some other great Bitcoiners. I'm really excited and happy to see you launch this company after quietly building it during the bear market for the last two years, and I look forward to seeing everything you accomplish!
