Cool, looking forward to it.

The issue is that I am anonymous w/ this company (albeit people can look me up if they try hard enough). If you email me I'd let you know. If you've been in bitcoin for the past couple years you'd probably know of it.

"Of the exchanges" = of an exchange. Whoops..

This has a ton of legal implication. Google the fine Ripple just received for creating and issuing their own currency/monetary instrument. Bitcoin works because it's decentralized. I am a huge crypto supporter, my brother is the founder of the exchanges, and I have been involved since 2012 but this is a really bad idea for reasons I could go further into detail on.

Hey Hubski team,

I started my website, shirtwascash, with a mix of 4chan and reddit involvement. We have done pretty well since launch and I truly believe user-submitted apparel (especially using our printing method) is an untapped revenue stream for a platform like this. I've been on Hubski a few times while looking for reddit-alternatives and know this community is a little outside of our current niche but I do think various apparel and products, especially user-submitted, is a very viable way for you to consider financing things better.

I am not particularly offering anything here besides giving you a serious and tell-all type discussion on my thoughts. I would like to help if I can since you guys/gals are obviously putting your all into things. If you'd like to chat, reach out to me at anon@shirtwascash.com. I'd love to be candid and give you an inside scoop on my thoughts and potential things you could do.
