Episode 51: Bitcoin for the Veteran's Soul – Stimmy

Stimmy was motivated to join the U.S. Army after the horrors of 9/11. He initially enlisted into the National Guard, and then commissioned into the U.S. Army through ROTC. Starting his career as an Armor Officer and then shifting to Intelligence, Stimmy had some great experiences in the Army. However, he also had some of his darkest days which led to him deciding to get out and find a new career in the civilian world. After a rocky transition to the civilian sector, Bitcoin helped Stimmy find his stride and get on a new mission.

Stimmy has an excellent post on habla titled "Bitcoin for the Veteran's Soul." I think it will resonate with many veterans and hopefully motivate them to start learning about #bitcoin.
