Roll call / intro

Hey everybody. It looks like there are 70 of us in this group so far.  I thought a quick intro would be nice to help us get acquainted. 

I'm Tiffany Hayden and I'm very involved in the Bitcoin community. I was excited to hear that the specs for a Bitcoin-ILP implementation have been written. I'd love to see more volume flow through Bitcoin. I'm also a huge Ripple fan and have been moderating the unofficial forum for awhile. I may be the only person on the planet who loves both Ripple and Bitcoin. I was concerned that there weren't very many Bitcoin supporters in this group, so I reached out to a few of the brilliant Bitcoin minds in my local group and they have joined as well. 

I'm currently working on a project to help bring financial access to refugees. If you're interested, you can read about it here:

I follow everything going on in the fintech space -payment systems, remittances, distributed ledger technology, cryptocurrencies. I love it all. 

I'm liberty-minded, a believer in the non-aggression principle, and a member of the Michigan Peace and Liberty Coalition. 

I'm also a homeschooling mother and just possibly the last person still using a hotmail account. 



Looking forward to "meeting" all of you!

Tiffany
