Live Zoom Updates

THE GIST Well howdy folks, it has been a crazy few months of radio silence, but we are back and firing on all cylinders. This call is a massive tech update showing how we took a nasty web wallet exploit in May, fired the old developers, and used AI tools to rebuild our entire TexitCoin ecosystem from the ground up. The walled garden is officially torn down, our code is public, and we are handing the building tools directly to you. KEY TAKEAWAYS We had a right nasty security incident with our web wallet between the 17th and 28th of May. Instead of slapping a band-aid on it and hoping for the best, we flat out fired the old development team and decided to rebuild every single thing they ever touched so we could do it the right way. My buddy Cory showed me what these new AI coding platforms like Lovable can do, and I spent a solid month living in front of my Mac, just coding morning to night. Instead of begging gatekeepers for updates and waiting months, we took total control and built a vastly better, faster suite of tools ourselves. We made this network entirely permissionless. Everything is public now, meaning you do not have to ask me for a node key ever again. We placed our core code on GitHub, spun up new polished block explorers, and built a node spinner so you can build on our chain without waiting on the suits to give you the nod. Transparency is the name of the game, especially with the SEC peeking over our fence lately. We built a new Open Books system that puts every single payroll expense, receipt, and ASIC miner purchase right there on the blockchain for the whole wide world to see and verify. We are not stopping at just block explorers and ledgers. Cory has put together a downright incredible gamified learning platform called CryptoU, complete with an animated owl, and I am finishing up StreamTXC, an on-chain video service that proves ownership of your content. We are handing you the full Honest Money toolset so you can start creating right alongside us. TIMELINE OF THIS PAST YEAR I started out way back in 2008 trying to save the world with old-fashioned physical gold and silver, which blew up in my face spectacularly in 2013 and gave me a nice long beach vacation in Thailand to think about my transgressions. Fast forward to this crazy year. February and March of 2026 had me buried deep in legal headaches and SEC stress. By April, Cory showed me the Lovable AI tools and I got absolutely hooked on building. Then, right between May 17th and 28th, we got hit with that brutal web wallet exploit. But that disaster became our cleansing moment. We spent the last month quietly coding our entire ecosystem from scratch, bringing us right here to mid-June with a totally open network ready to change the world. WORTH FLIPPING TO When Cory shows off his gorgeous new crypto wallet design, proving how a little UI polish makes our decentralized tools look and feel like a million bucks. My little tangent about how HD wallets work, and how our new EVM browser wallet automatically rotates receiving addresses so Ledger can't track your life story. Our walkthrough of Lovable AI's remix feature, where I show exactly how anyone in our community can clone our production code and build their own custom decentralized apps without starting bare. Cory giving a sneak peek at CryptoU, featuring Wiley the Owl and our new tiered freemium onboarding that makes learning about honest money a whole lot better than public school. My wrap-up of the new open financial books system, showing exactly how we timestamp every single dollar spent directly to the blockchain to keep things perfectly transparent for regulators and our community.

THE GIST Alright folks, here's the deal. I went to London and sat down with our friends at the SEC. It gave us a heap of clarity on what they're truly worried about, and I left feeling a whole lot better about where we're headed. We've already made some major changes to the project because of what we learned. KEY TAKEAWAYS — The SEC meeting wasn't about us being a fraud. They're focused on technical stuff, mainly if we’re truly "decentralized" and "permissionless." We've already made huge strides to prove we are. — Our core code is now 100% open source, and we've removed the key to spin up a node. Anyone, anywhere can now join the network, making us fully permissionless. — Turns out, we've been using the word "permissioned" all wrong. By their definition, we’ve always been permissionless since anyone can have a wallet and use the coin. We're fixing our language everywhere to make that plain as day. — The other big things they looked at—use of funds and the "Path to 16"—are easy to explain. Everything was disclosed publicly in our YouTube calls. I think we're good to go there. — The Texas (TSSB) hearing is still on for August 17th. We've got the top dogs at Quinn Emanuel riding with us, and winning there will help clear the decks everywhere else. THE LONDON MEETING So last Thursday, I flew to London to sit down with the SEC. My lawyers from Quinn Emanuel were with me. Because we were outside U.S. jurisdiction, it wasn't a deposition but a sworn, voluntary interview, which means I didn't have to be there. They hammered on two big things: decentralization and whether we were permissionless. They'd been digging into old website claims, like being "mined exclusively in Texas," and got hung up on our own use of the word "permissioned." I walked them through how this project has grown and, most importantly, told them that just two days before, we made our code 100% open source and removed the key needed to join the network. I answered every sensible question they had and left feeling like we made it real clear we're a whole lot different than they thought. WORTH FLIPPING TO - The story about my only criminal record: getting busted with a fake ID back in 2000. Just found out about it on my FBI background check. - A reflection on how much has happened in just one year, from crashing a McLaren to flying into a brick wall with regulators and now seeing the path forward. - Why I hate the term "digital commodity" and think it's a trap. It's the same thing I testified to Congress about back in 2012 concerning gold and silver. - A live walkthrough of the brand-new Texitcoin website, the white paper, and the new page that shows anyone how to spin up their own TXC node from scratch.

THE GIST I’m joining you live from an Amsterdam hotel lobby at 2 AM before I head to London to look the SEC in the eye and tell them the truth. This week has been a battle, specifically because we discovered a manually inserted security exploit in our old web wallet that forced me to fire our development team and rebuild our entire back-end from scratch using AI. We aren't giving up; we are outthinking and outlasting the competition, the trolls, and the hackers to protect our "Honest Money" project. WHAT WE COVERED - Bobby's upcoming rendezvous with the SEC in London and his confidence in the project's transparency. - The 2025 incident involving a $210,000 Bitcoin loss via a backdoor in the mobile app. - Discovery of a new security exploit manually inserted into the TXC web wallet around May 18th. - The decision to fire the core development team and Bobby personally rebuilding the ecosystem using AI. - An urgent call for users who logged into the web wallet between May 17th and 28th to migrate to the new wallet. - Status of the global mining rewards, which were paused during the transition but are set to resume Friday, June 5th. - Updates on the Conroe facility, including 800 new ASICs and transformer activations. - New development tools and the "Build" page on texitcoin.org to allow public API access. - Demonstration of the new web wallet's import, sweep, and backup/restore features. - Reaffirming that Cold Storage Coins remain the safest way to hold TXC. QUOTES WORTH PULLING > "We’re going to outthink, we’re going to outwork, and we’re going to outlast the competition... whether that competition is the federal government or the Bitcoin bros or the trolls." > "I’m rebuilding in days a system that we spent years building and perfecting. I’m the only guy that can do it because it’s my butt on the line." > "The truth will set us free, as the truth always does."

In this week’s session of the Honest Money Hour, Bobby Gray addresses the resilient progress of the Texitcoin ecosystem despite ongoing regulatory challenges and personal exhaustion. Despite a series of setbacks—including a cease and desist order and the cancellation of a major sponsored event in McKinney, Texas—Gray emphasizes that the vision remains unchanged. He details the strategic pivot from relying on third-party developers to utilizing AI-powered tools that allow for the near-instant deployment of community currencies and payment rails, which he aims to show to the SEC during upcoming discussions. ## The Utility Strategy: Fairs and Festivals Gray highlights the "Fair Money" and "Downtown Digital" initiatives as the primary drivers for real-world utility. By integrating Texitcoin into the multi-trillion dollar fair and festival industry, the project creates automated organic demand. As attendees add value to their event apps for purchases like food and drinks, a portion of those funds automatically purchases TXC from the open market to cover transaction fees. This creates a sustainable supply-and-demand dynamic that moves beyond mere speculation. ## Technological Breakthroughs and Scaling In a live demo, Gray showcased the ability to "spin up" a fully functional digital currency environment for any city—such as Atlanta—in under thirty seconds using updated development protocols. The system is designed to work with NFC tap-to-pay terminals and mobile wallets, even in offline environments where cell service is unreliable. **Key Topics Discussed:** * **Regulatory Outlook:** Updates on first-time meetings with the SEC and internal legal strategies. * **Technical Demos:** The creation of custom community tokens and the "Sign Message" feature for Web3 authentication on StreamTXE. * **Risk Management:** Addressing a recent technical exploit and the path toward obtaining necessary Money Service Business (MSB) licenses. * **Growth Potential:** Using a dual-chain approach (Texitcoin for the US and Iskander for international markets) to handle millions of transactions per day.

In this edition of the Honest Money Update Hour, Bobby Gray provides a comprehensive overview of the project’s strategic direction and historical context. He reflects on his journey from the Liberty Dollar and the American Open Currency Standard to the founding of TEXITcoin, emphasizing the critical importance of staying on the right side of regulatory lines. Gray highlights an upcoming meeting with the SEC scheduled for June 11th, expressing confidence that TEXITcoin’s structure—characterized by a lack of fraud and a requirement for active participation—distinguishes it from failed crypto projects and positions it as a legitimate alternative currency rather than a security. Gray also introduces the 'Honest Money Ecosystem' through a new web hub, honest.money, which serves as an umbrella for various initiatives including education, gaming, and community currencies. He details the technological advancements made to the network, including the release of public APIs and specifications to encourage decentralized development. This ecosystem is designed to reclaim the original promise of blockchain: transparency, authenticity, and individual empowerment, moving away from the speculative nature of current meme-coin trends. From his new base in Singapore, Gray discusses the global expansion of the project, including signing a lease for a local office to spearhead Web3 education in Asia. He provides a detailed financial breakdown of the Texas mining operation, demonstrating that adding 800 new ASIC miners will shift the project from an overhead-loss phase into monthly profitability. By amortizing infrastructure costs across a larger hashing base, the project aims to stop depleting reserves and begin funding aggressive marketing and promotional initiatives to drive future growth.

He acknowledged the high-stress environment and turnover within the project. ### Key Points: * **Corey's Contribution:** Praised Corey for his creativity, productivity, and understanding of the project's core message, particularly in creating animated videos and content for Crypto U. * **High-Stress Environment:** Bobby admitted that the project's dynamic, constantly shifting nature, and high expectations are not for everyone, leading to some team members quietly leaving. * **Mind-Reading Expectation:** Bobby noted his high standards for team members, expecting them to understand his vision without explicit detailed instructions. ## Discovery of AI Tools and Personal Revelation Bobby revealed that Corey's exceptional productivity stemmed from using an AI tool called "Lovable" for website building. This sparked Bobby's personal dive into AI. ### Key Points: * **Lovable AI:** Corey's secret to productivity was an AI-powered website builder called "Lovable." * **Bobby's AI Immersion:** Inspired by Lovable, Bobby spent the last 3-4 days intensely learning and using AI tools, including Grok and ChatGPT. * **Personal Connection to Tech:** Bobby shared his background, dropping out of high school at 17 to start a tech business, and identifying as a "Xennial" (born 1977-1983), combining an analog upbringing with early tech adoption. This generation's problem-solving ability, he argued, makes them uniquely suited for current challenges. * **Apology for Delay:** Bobby apologized for not adopting AI earlier, acknowledging that many had urged him to do so. ## Major Announcements: New Websites and Infrastructure Bobby unveiled several new websites built using AI, highlighting their significance and addressing past criticisms. ### Key Topics and Announcements: ### 1. New Texacoin Website * **Announcement:** A completely rebuilt Texacoin website ([newtexcoin.com](newtexcoin.com)) was launched, praised for its clean design, functionality, and improved user experience. * **Improvements:** All buttons and links now work, and it includes a direct link to the Texcoin web wallet – a long-awaited feature. * **"Troll Index":** A notable addition is the "Troll Index" page, showcasing criticisms and linking to articles by those who've opposed the project, framed as proof that "honest money doesn't give up." * **Redefined Project Mission:** Bobby clarified that the project's true mission was never solely about a top crypto, but about "honest money" – a long-term plan he's pursued since 2007. ### 2. Iskander Network Website * **Announcement:** A new Iskander Network website ([iskandernetwork.com](iskandernetwork.com)) was launched, designed to revitalize interest in the project. * **Addressing Past Setbacks:** Acknowledged challenges and setbacks for Iskander, including a cease and desist in Texas, but affirmed the team's commitment. * **Emphasis on Caution:** Bobby advised against going "all in" on investments, encouraging careful and responsible participation, citing his own multi-million dollar investment in Dubai with little to show currently. ### 3. StreamTXC.com: Decentralized Video Platform * **Announcement:** **StreamTXC.com** was launched as a decentralized video streaming service. * **Problem Solved:** Addresses the issue of content ownership and monetization control by centralized platforms like YouTube and Instagram. * **Technology:** Leverages **IPFS (Interplanetary File System)** for decentralized storage and **Texacoin blockchain** for timestamping content ownership. * **How it Works:** * Uploads videos to IPFS, generating a unique Content Identifier (CID). * Timestamps the video's CID on the TXC blockchain, providing cryptographic proof of ownership. * Users pay in TXC for storage and comments, creating utility and demand for the coin. * **Utility and Demand:** * Eliminates payment for hosting/commenting (prevents spam). * Provides proof of ownership, crucial for content creators battling content theft. * Encourages TXC adoption, as content creators need TXC to use the service. Bobby envisions millions of creators needing TXC, driving up its value. * Benefits TXC miners, who continuously receive new TXC as demand increases. * **API and Open Infrastructure:** StreamTXC is open-infrastructure with a public API, allowing developers to build on the TXC chain using clear documentation, broadcasting transaction data for payment, renewal, or content removal. * **Demonstration:** Bobby live-demonstrated uploading a video, its IPFS pinning, and the real-time TXC blockchain transaction for content proof and payment. * **Cost-Effectiveness:** Costs fractions of a TXC for hosting and features, making it highly affordable. * **Mempool Comparison:** Bobby highlighted the TXC network's efficiency and availability by comparing its empty mempool (2 transactions) to Bitcoin's congested mempool (48,000 transactions and high fees), positioning TXC as a faster, cheaper "Made in America" blockchain. * **Not a YouTube Competitor:** Emphasized that StreamTXC is a *tool* for content creators to secure ownership, not a social media platform. ## Conclusion and Call to Action Bobby stressed the transformative potential of these AI-powered developments and the new utility they bring to the Texacoin ecosystem. ### Key Points: * **AI as a Game-Changer:** AI has enabled rapid development, with Bobby building multiple robust websites in days. * **Real Network, Real API:** Declared that the TXC network is now fully functional and accessible via API, empowering developers to build on it. * **Community Engagement:** Encouraged the community to use StreamTXC, provide feedback, and spread awareness about its unique utility to drive TXC demand. * **Future Vision:** Reiterated his belief in the long-term vision of honest money and the foundational role these new tools play in achieving it. ---

This Zoom call transcript captures a detailed discussion by Bobby Gray, the founder of Texacoin, covering a wide range of topics from the foundational technology of blockchain to legal updates, community engagement, and future plans for Texacoin. ## Introduction to Blockchain and its Significance The call begins with a pre-recorded audio segment that explains the core concepts of blockchain technology. **Key Takeaways:** * **Problem with Virtual Money:** Traditional digital money faces the "double spending" problem due to the lack of a central authority. * **Blockchain as the Solution:** Satoshi Nakamoto's creation, the blockchain, solves this by providing a decentralized, immutable ledger. * **Digital Fingerprints (Hash Values):** Every digital file has a unique hash value, forming the basis of cryptography. * **Transaction Processing:** * Transactions are announced to the entire peer-to-peer network, not a central database. * Miners gather these announcements, bundle them into blocks, and sort them by processing fees. * Miners compete to find the block's unique hash value through energy-intensive mathematical puzzles. * The first miner to solve the puzzle is rewarded with newly minted cryptocurrency. * **Chain Linkage:** Each block is cryptographically linked to the previous one using its hash value. Any modification to a transaction in a confirmed block would break the chain. * **Consensus and Immutability:** Once 51% of the mining community confirms a block's accuracy, it becomes a permanent and immutable part of the chain. * **Decentralization and Trustlessness:** Every miner stores a copy of the chain, eliminating single points of failure and central authority control. This makes blockchain the pinnacle of "trustless money." * **Efficiency vs. Transparency:** Blockchain technology, while offering transparency and trustlessness, is inherently inefficient, consuming massive amounts of energy (e.g., Bitcoin uses energy equivalent to a medium-sized country). This inefficiency is a trade-off for its core benefits. * **Core Concepts of Blockchain:** Permanent, immutable, trustless, provable. ## Texacoin and Community Updates Bobby Gray then transitions to address the Texacoin community, updating them on recent events and future directions. **Key Takeaways:** * **"Honest Money Chat":** Bobby Gray hosts a regular session for the Texacoin community. * **Current Location and Time:** Presenting live from Singapore, acknowledging the time zone differences affecting his preparation time. * **Future Plans ("Bobby's Got a Plan"):** Gray hints at a new plan for Texacoin, asserting that his previous plans were successful. * **Community Events:** * Mention of a golf outing and dinner in Florida with Texacoin team members and community. * Upcoming "Crypto Polo" event where Texacoin will announce the winner. * Emphasizes the importance of "profit, fun, and community" as the three core pillars of Texacoin. * Values human interaction and authenticity over purely financial gains, unlike the mainstream crypto community focused on financial institutions. * **Critique of Mainstream Crypto Adoption:** * Expresses skepticism about major financial institutions (JP Morgan, BlackRock) entering the blockchain space, viewing it as a continuation of centralized control. * Draws parallels to the music industry's adaptation to peer-to-peer file sharing (Napster), where an initial disruption led to a new model of control (streaming services where users "own nothing"). * Argues that if banks control Bitcoin, it undermines the original decentralized vision. * Texacoin's goal is to empower individuals, not institutions. ## Legal Update and SEC Deposition Bobby Gray provides a significant update regarding Texacoin's ongoing legal interactions. **Key Takeaways:** * **SEC Deposition:** Scheduled for June 11th in London, England, an 8-hour deposition with the SEC. * **Bobby Gray's Expertise:** Confident in his 18 years of experience in "honest money" (gold/silver) and 9 years in crypto, believes he is well-equipped to represent Texacoin. * **Transparency as a Virtue:** Texacoin's approach has always been radical transparency, having published all relevant information on their website, which the lawyers find unusual. * **SEC's Perspective (Fraud Inquiry):** * The SEC's follow-up questions suggest they still suspect fraud, specifically regarding the disparity between "sold" and "active" Megahash. * Bobby Gray explains the multi-step process for deploying hash power (sell, buy, pay, ship, receive, install), highlighting that delays are operational, not fraudulent. * Emphasizes the commitment to building the mine and proving legitimacy. * **Immersion Cooling:** Discusses Texacoin's use of immersion cooling for environmental friendliness and efficiency, contrasting it with traditional, noisy mining operations. * **Hope for Container Deployment:** Hopes to have the next four containers online before the deposition to demonstrate progress. * **Personal Outlook:** Expresses excitement for the deposition as an opportunity to speak his mind, viewing it as a moment for Texacoin. Jokes about being "person non grata" and the possibility of handcuffs. ## Personal Updates and Texacoin's Internal Progress Gray shares personal news and updates on internal organizational developments. **Key Takeaways:** * **Marriage Anniversary:** Celebrated 22 years of marriage, including a unique annual "contract renewal" discussion with his wife. She will be visiting him in Singapore and then traveling to London and Ireland. * **Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative (IDMC):** * Congratulates the IDMC for overcoming challenges and developing a new compensation plan. * Emphasizes the need to "turn the engine back on" and move "like a freight train" rather than a "rocket ship." * Reiterates the importance of "honest money" as the core narrative for the IDMC, steering clear of framing it solely as an investment or network marketing scheme. * Introduces the concept of an "Honest Money Ecosystem" where individuals, not banks, are the primary beneficiaries. ## Introducing "CryptoPop" - A Marketing and Education Initiative Bobby Gray unveils a new, innovative marketing and education strategy for Texacoin called CryptoPop. **Key Takeaways:** * **Singapore Context:** Singapore is a unique market – the wealthiest city, host to the biggest crypto event (Token 2049), yet has a "lifeless" crypto community due to strict advertising bans. * **Regulatory Challenges:** Consulted lawyers about launching a new project; they warned of becoming "person non grata" (like CZ) if regulatory lines are crossed. * **CryptoPop SG (Crypto Proof of Participation):** * An education-focused campaign to gamify Web3, DeFi, and blockchain education. * **Goal:** To host a major "red carpet" party on October 5th, 2026, leading up to Singapore's Formula 1 race and Token 2049, making Texacoin the "talk of the town." * **Strategy:** Attract participants through educational events and reward them with "POP tokens" (loyalty points that have no monetary value). * **Engagement:** * Free chicken rice events where participants learn to download a crypto wallet and receive 100 POP tokens. * Referral bonuses for bringing friends (double POP tokens). * Top 500 POP token holders will be invited to the exclusive October 5th party. * **Event Progression:** A series of increasingly larger and more exclusive events are planned, culminating in the October party. * **July 4th Event:** A large party at the 1 Degree 15 Marina, featuring live music, food, and supercars, to attract a broad audience. * **Compliance:** CryptoPop is strictly an education platform, with no crypto pitches or sales to avoid regulatory issues. * **Underlying Technology:** POP tokens are Layer 2 tokens running on the Texacoin blockchain. While participants receive POP tokens, Gray cannot directly give them TXC or explain how to acquire TXC due to regulations. * **Long-term Vision:** If successful, CryptoPop could be expanded globally as an affiliate model, adapted for different regulatory environments. * **Outreach:** Hiring "Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders" to promote CryptoPop on social media (Instagram, TikTok, X) and through city-wide activations, scavenger hunts, and lucky draws to drive engagement and local business support. * **Cost:** Estimated to cost "a better part of a million bucks." * **Post-CryptoPop Goal:** To obtain a payment service provider license in Singapore to further integrate with the local financial ecosystem. ## Q&A and Concluding Remarks Bobby Gray addresses audience questions and offers some closing thoughts. **Key Takeaways:** * **LASIK and Health Tips:** Light-hearted comments about needing LASIK and health advice from attendees. * **Deposition Location (London):** Confirms London was a mutual agreement for convenience, not an attempt to avoid the U.S. * **Texacoin Utility:** * The original utility was based on building a large mining operation (currently 10th largest Litecoin/Doge miner, aiming for top 3). * Initial concepts included "Downtown Digital Dollars" (community currencies for fairs and festivals) using TXC as a processing gas. This is currently "on hold" due to regulatory challenges in Texas and Bobby Gray's location. * **New Utility Focus:** CryptoPop is a manifestation of new utility ideas. * **Gaming (Zero Chill):** Exploring "Proof of Play" gaming as another utility, where users earn points or hash power through gameplay, believing the industry prematurely abandoned play-to-earn. * **Decentralized Development:** Emphasizes that the utility of Texacoin is for the community to figure out and build upon the network. * **Texas Community Currency:** Acknowledges the difficulties in Texas with municipal support due to political considerations and perceived regulatory opposition, but reiterates Texacoin's commitment to "honest money" despite setbacks. * **Perseverance:** Stresses that Texacoin will continue pursuing its goals despite challenges and past disappointments (e.g., Texas Music Revolution not proceeding as planned). * **Resisting Centralization:** Underscores Texacoin's mission to resist the centralization of crypto by banks and empower individuals, even if it's the "hard way." * **Ongoing Success:** Believes the project is still going strong, especially with the clarity provided by IDMC, and encourages continued community participation.

This webinar, hosted by Bobby Gray, covered several key areas concerning the future of honest money, cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain ecosystem. The discussion emphasized the importance of community, education, and adaptability in a rapidly changing financial landscape. ## Main Topics * **The Evolution of the IDMC:** The speaker discussed the transition from Mind TXC to the improved IDMC, highlighting the fundamental changes made based on past experiences and lessons learned, particularly regarding securities and operational challenges. The goal was to create a more robust and sustainable system. * **The Power of Education:** A significant portion of the call was dedicated to the new "CryptoU.ai" education platform. This platform aims to provide comprehensive learning modules on topics like "What is Money," "What is Bitcoin," and "What is Blockchain." The concept of "Learn to Earn" was introduced, where participants can earn hash power by watching educational content, and content creators can earn royalties by hosting their material on the platform. This initiative seeks to empower individuals with knowledge, allowing them to confidently participate in and advocate for the decentralized finance ecosystem. * **The Return of Human Connection:** The speaker stressed the increasing value of human connection in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world. This was exemplified by the ongoing East Coast tour, which involves team members traveling to various locations to meet community members in person. This focus on authentic interaction is seen as crucial for strengthening the community and maintaining a shared vision. ## Key Announcements * **Upcoming SEC Meeting:** Bobby Gray announced a formal deposition with the SEC on June 11th, where he will present on matters related to their project, following an earlier positive interaction between their legal team and the SEC. * **Iskander Coin Launch on BitMart:** A major announcement was the launch of Iskander Coin on BitMart, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, scheduled for May 5th. This launch will coincide with the BitMart party at Consensus in Miami. * **East Coast and West Coast Tours:** Details were shared about the ongoing East Coast tour, visiting cities like Nashville, Myrtle Beach, Jacksonville, and Ocala, leading up to events in Miami. A proposed West Coast tour was also outlined, including stops in Denver, Salt Lake, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, further emphasizing community engagement. * **Crypto Polo Cup Sponsorship:** The project is a lead sponsor for the Crypto Polo Cup in Miami on May 9th, a significant event co-sponsored by Binance, indicating growing industry presence and partnerships. ## Themes * **Authenticity and Transparency:** The speaker reiterated the importance of authenticity in the project's dealings and communications, contrasting it with the prevalence of fake news and AI in the modern world. Transparency in project operations and financial strategies was also highlighted. * **Decentralization and Empowerment:** A core theme was the goal of empowering individuals through decentralized finance and providing alternatives to traditional banking systems. The speaker argued that supporting Bitcoin primarily benefits institutions and foreign entities, whereas their project, Texacoin, is designed to ensure the upside benefits individual participants and miners who actively contribute. * **Overcoming Challenges:** The discussion acknowledged past struggles and current legal challenges, but expressed strong confidence in the project's future success, based on learned lessons, strategic planning, and the commitment of the community. The speaker emphasized that success will be by design, not by accident, with education and community at its core.
