🔐 Hello… Bitkey

We dropped a BIG announcement this week.

That’s big with a capital B.I.G.

Bitkey will be doing a masterclass on Genesis!

Bitkey is a self-custody Bitcoin wallet built by Block Inc which was Co-founded by Jack Dorsey.

Genesis launches next week… ahhhhh!🥳 We built it for those who are non-techie, curious about Bitcoin and don’t want to spend hours searching for the information. If you or someone you know fits that bill, join the waitlist (for early access).

🧠 If you’re clued up on Bitcoin already, please help us next week by sharing any social posts about Genesis from the Bitcoin Collective to get it in front of the people who need it.
