π§βπ€βπ§ The Team
Team Name: Satoshi
Number of Founders: 1
Team Background: Before the orange pill, Hezron was a junior developer for a period spanning three years, working in the HR industry. During this time, he adeptly navigated the intricate landscapes of software development, honing his skills across Java, Typescript, Python, and frameworks (Angular, Spring).
Hezron transitioned into the realm of bitcoin writing for Wasabi Wallet two years ago. His time in bitcoin has led him to the technical depths of bitcoin, exploring the complexities, opportunities, and challenges it faces. Hezron sees himself still working in bitcoin in the next decade.
Bitcoin & Lightning Involvement: As a technical writer for a Bitcoin wallet company, my role involves translating the intricate bitcoin jargon into comprehensive and accessible documentation. I see myself as a bridge between the complexities of bitcoin technology and the end-users, developers, and enthusiasts eager to understand and harness the power of Bitcoin.
Origin Story: One of the biggest challenges new bitcoin users face is the technical jump when trying to get into bitcoin: bitcoin doesn't exactly have a technical support team to help onboard you as a new user.
This is where Testnet shines. Testnet is all about convenience. It guarantees that you can do anything with bitcoin with the peace of mind that no errors you make will cost you money in your learning journey.
Btctestnetcoins aims to make testnet coins available for everyone: new users getting into bitcoin, developers building bitcoin apps, and anyone who wants to experiment with bitcoin, risk-free.
With the philosophy that "the best things in life are free," Btctestnetcoins started out with the idea that free bitcoin testnet coins are the easiest way to Bitcoinize the world.
