Where does motivation come from?

Launching Casa

It's a miracle we were able to pull this off. There we were, building a bitcoin focused business with minimal runway, and VCs were on the whole blockchain-not-bitcoin train. Plus, most of them were headed home for the holidays and wouldn't be back until the new year.
