About
Last Coin Standing exists to help people better understand Bitcoin - from perspectives and angles they may not have encountered before. This isn't about investment thesis, and it's not a deep dive into the technical underpinnings of the protocol. It's a philosophical examination and appreciation of Bitcoin's unique properties, from first principles: what makes it special, what makes it unprecedented, and why it is likely to become the last coin standing.
The interactive tools on this site are designed to drive home these insights with visceral impact.
I'm a Bitcoin Maximalist, putting in my few thousand hours since 2017. I have a degree in Economics and Business from Trinity College Dublin, and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. I've spent 25 years working in Product Management in Silicon Valley, including long stints at Yahoo and Mastercard - the latter focused specifically on merchant loyalty, an expertise I've since turned toward Bitcoin.
I'm currently working full-time on a Bitcoin venture.
I've been published in Bitcoin Magazine and have been a guest on a number of Bitcoin podcasts. Bitcoin is the most important of my interests and I devote a significant amount of my time - professional and personal - to better understanding it and helping others understand it, to the extent that I can.

On this site you'll find a growing collection of interactive visualizations, each designed to make a different dimension of Bitcoin's design tangible. The approach is always the same: contrast and clarity — showing what Bitcoin is by demonstrating what everything else isn't. No investment advice, no price predictions. Just structural arguments, made visible.
I also write longer-form pieces on my Substack, exploring the economic, philosophical, and strategic dimensions of the Bitcoin migration. My goal is to provide coherent insights that move you toward a deeper understanding of what Bitcoin is — and an appreciation of why it represents a paradigm shift. More to come.
I'm always interested in connecting with others who are thinking seriously about Bitcoin's role in the real economy - whether that's monetary theory, the broader migration from fiat to sound money, or the future Bitcoin is making possible. If you'd like to connect, have me on your podcast, or share ideas, reach out.
Bitcoin may be the most consequential development since the printing press - a once-in-civilization opportunity to advance human prosperity in a way nothing else can. I write about it, build tools around it, and work on it full-time because I believe its destiny is to become the last coin standing.
