"I am excited about the opportunity Bitcoin has before it as it grows. I hope to contribute my small part as a liaison to help businesses take advantage of all that Bitcoin has to offer as well as gather feedback for the open source community so that we can together bring this wonderfully evolving technology to the masses."

"In an ever-changing world, the Bitcoin revolution represents a pivotal movement combining financial and social shifts. Recognizing the need to understand this, I've translated bitcoinops.org newsletters into French to democratize access to key developments. My aim is to enable broader participation in shaping the future. Proud to join esteemed contributors, I echo Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's sentiment: 'As for the future, it's not about predicting it, but making it possible.'"

"The terrible thing about a consensus system like Bitcoin is that every on-chain action we perform affects every other user of the system. That makes all of us neighbors, so we're faced with the choice of either being the bad neighbors who complain endlessly about each other or the good neighbors who work together to solve problems and find ways to coexist in harmony."
Gloria Zhao

Grantee, Brink

"As a developer, it feels like Bitcoin development innovates far too quickly for anyone to keep up! But engineering isn't enough to translate technological advancement into tangible improvements in a real person's life. Optech has been an incredible resource throughout my journey; I hope to help it be the same for the thousands of builders, designers, educators and trailblazers we'll need to bring Bitcoin to a billion people."
Jiří Jakeš

"If you believe fixing the money can fix the world, you cannot ignore Bitcoin. If you want to understand Bitcoin, you cannot ignore Optech. Since I made it my routine going through every word of every week's newsletter, my understanding of what Bitcoin was, is and where it might be going took a big leap forward. I am happy to make the knowledge accessible to more people and thus move us a bit closer to fixing the world."
Mark Erhardt

Developer, Chaincode Labs

"The Optech newsletter has been one of the most informative and reliable resources for any Bitcoin engineer since its inception. With its workshops, the Bitcoin Optech Group is bringing together the engineers in the space and paving the road for adoption of best practices and new protocol features."

"Bitcoin has a pipeline of innovations flowing from the open source community. I am excited to help with the blocking and tackling needed to help roll out these innovations with the wider community of businesses, wallets, exchanges, and users."
Shigeyuki Azuchi

CTO, Chaintope
GitHub
"Bitcoin is a very exciting innovation, and many protocols and cryptographic improvements are still being proposed. Understanding these is important for Bitcoin services and businesses, and Optech is one of the most useful resources for that. I hope to contribute to making Bitcoin technical information available to a wide range of people."
Zhiwei(Jeffrey) Hu

Tech Lead, HashKey Capital

"One of the best ways to keep up with developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem is to subscribe to the Optech newsletter. I'm excited to be a part of Optech newsletter with a bunch of friends (Xiang YAO, Ajian, Yu ZHANG) in Primitives Lane research group, helping more people learn more about Bitcoin."
