Happy Sat-urday Stackers,
Keep an eye out for rising stars this weekend, stackers!
Upcoming AMA: Evan Kaloudis, father of Zeus, will be doing an AMA on Tuesday July 12th at 10a CT. Zeus is an open-source, non-custodial Bitcoin and Lightning wallet and my personal wallet of choice.
We are looking to schedule another AMA this week, but don't have one yet, so keep an eye out on Twitter.
