Welcome to TEXITcoin: Season 3
Two years ago, TEXITcoin began as a simple idea born in a spare bedroom: building a Layer 1 digital currency rooted in Texas values, focused on honest money, practical utility, and real-world adoption. What started as late-night coding sessions quickly grew into something larger — a project that tested limits, faced real challenges, and brought together thousands of people who shared a vision beyond traditional financial systems.
Season 1: From Concept to First Milestones
Season 1 captured the raw beginnings. We moved from questioning whether precious metals alone could meet modern needs to hands-on development. Early mining hardware ran hot in a garage, neighbors wondered about the noise and activity on the dirt road, and initial participants showed up with cash in hand, believing in the potential.
Key breakthroughs included discovering immersion cooling technology, which dramatically improved efficiency. We committed fully — betting resources and convincing family that the approach would scale. There were setbacks, including a significant security incident where a hacker accessed the app and funds were lost. Yet the project reached profitability milestones, engaged the broader precious metals community, and celebrated early wins. Within a year, the team was presenting at major industry events like the Bitmain conference in Las Vegas, marking a rapid shift from garage operations to public visibility.
Season 2: Growth, Expansion, and Hard Lessons
Season 2 brought visible progress and new complexities. The project expanded with property acquisitions to support operations, the launch of the first full-scale immersion cooling mining container, and listings on larger exchanges complete with ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Community energy was high — private travel for speaking engagements, hot air balloon events, ranger roundups, and memorable trips, including to Thailand, created lasting connections.
A core team stepped up: Lone Star Rangers contributed in meaningful ways, reinforcing that no one had to build alone. Personal milestones appeared, such as the first supercar and conversations about making high-end experiences more accessible through giveaways. However, external pressures mounted. Regulatory scrutiny led to more bank account challenges and eventually, a Texas home-state cease-and-desist order. Some core team members moved on, including farewells to beloved Lone Stars, while others navigated difficult transitions. The market environment shifted, and the intensity of rapid growth brought periods of excessive celebration alongside emerging criticism and troll activity. By the end of Season 2, the community had scattered somewhat — some stepped back into the shadows or paused, others explored different projects, and many waited patiently for clear next steps. Bobby was last publicly seen on a plane, leaving the USA.
These experiences — the highs of rapid scaling and the realities of regulatory, security, and operational hurdles — provided hard-earned clarity. We learned critical lessons about securities regulations, sustainable structures, and the importance of long-term resilience.
My next step was Bevis.sg, a Blockchain Enabled Verification and Information Service. This platform used IPFS for decentralized file storage combined with blockchain timestamping to create permanent, immutable records for important digital documents. It acted like a digital notary—providing verifiable proof of existence, ownership, and integrity without depending on centralized authorities. This project built on my growing understanding of blockchain's potential beyond just currency, showing how it could ensure trust and permanence in records that matter.
Watching the broader crypto industry evolve—or, in many ways, devolve—over the years was eye-opening. What started as a promise of true decentralization with Bitcoin had shifted toward centralization, high fees, and a departure from the core idea of peer-to-peer money. Exchanges became gatekeepers, projects centralized control, and the original vision got lost. That's when I decided to act. Drawing from everything I'd learned—the physical accessibility of commemorative coins, the security focus of CSC, the verification strength of Bevis.sg—I created TEXITcoin (TXC).
Season 3: Rebuilding with Focus, Education, and Active Participation
It was foolish to think the journey to CMC Page 1 was going to be easy.
Season 3 marks a deliberate new chapter. The core mission remains: creating a practical digital currency for Texans and like-minded individuals who value honest money, utility, and community-driven progress. We are not starting over — we are building on everything that came before while addressing what needs to evolve.
Our first priority? Bringing the community back together.
At the end of Season 2, participants dispersed for understandable reasons. Season 3 begins by reconnecting. We want to remind everyone of the original spirit that made the project special: fun, friends, and money. Many new friendships formed through shared events, late-night discussions, mining setups, and celebrations. Those bonds were real. Let's recreate opportunities to gather — virtually and in person — without the pressures that pulled us apart. The goal is to rebuild trust and momentum by focusing on what brought people together initially: shared excitement and tangible progress.
What's next? Education as the foundation, and welcome to Phases 4 & 5.
Having navigated securities regulations and operational challenges, we shift emphasis toward genuine education. This includes launching structured classes, training sessions, and an education platform that covers blockchain fundamentals, DeFi (Decentralized Finance), and accessible Web3 financial products. The aim is practical empowerment — helping participants understand how to engage with digital assets responsibly, mine effectively, and explore tools that align with our values of honest money. Education is not an add-on; it is central to safe & sustainable growth or participation in this space.
And let's not forget: your active participation matters the most.
The early days had elements of “sit back and enjoy the ride.” Season 3 moves beyond that. Reaching our goals requires every one of us participating. Community members can contribute by recruiting thoughtfully, educating others, helping expand mining infrastructure, or even setting up home mining where feasible. Every active role strengthens the network — whether building tools, providing feedback, or supporting merchant adoption. This is not about top-down directives but shared ownership.
And let's not forget about epic amounts of fun and excitement with a cleaner structure.
We recognize that the original MLM-style elements helped ignite early momentum and community energy. To address regulatory headwinds and focus on long-term viability, we are transitioning to a simple affiliate program. This change reduces financial complexity and potential friction while preserving the fun, social aspects that defined our best moments. Events, giveaways, shared successes, and genuine camaraderie will remain central — just on a more straightforward foundation that doesn't smell so much like an MLM.
Looking Ahead
Season 3 is about maturity without losing the soul of the project. We started with nothing but an idea and coding sessions. We built real infrastructure, faced regulatory reality, celebrated wins, and learned from losses. Now we apply those lessons: stronger education, broader DeFi access, active community involvement, and a structure designed for durability. Growing up doesn't have to mean selling out.
If you were with us from the spare bedroom days, through the garage chaos, Vegas celebrations, or the tougher transitions — welcome back. If you are new or returning after stepping away, this is an invitation to engage on clearer terms.
The sky may have felt on fire at times, but the mission continues. TEXITcoin remains focused on practical utility, Texas-rooted values, and creating real financial tools for those who want more than the status quo.
We never promised easy rides or overnight rockets. We remain committed to consistent progress through education, participation, and community. The next steps will unfold through action — classes launching, infrastructure growing, and connections reforming.
If you are ready to contribute, learn, and rebuild alongside others who share the vision, Season 3 is being written as we speak. Let’s move forward together with clarity and purpose.
