Yes, the #Bitcoin car placed 8th. However, #Bitcoin won the Indy 500. We won this race before it even started.

The first community-funded car.

Shattered merchandise records.

Most importantly, we raised millions of dollars for #Bitcoin open-source development.

Yes, the race is over, but the #Bitcoin Car still has one more week.

We are still accepting donations that will go towards supporting #Bitcoin open-source development.

This will be one of the biggest #Bitcoin open-source funding events in the asset’s history.

The #Bitcoin Car is being shipped to Miami as we speak and will be present at @TheBitcoinConf.

The entire @ECRIndy team will be at @TheBitcoinConf.

I will be announcing the total amount raised and the initial allocations at the @TheBitcoinConf.

Let’s continue to rally behind the #Bitcoin Car and support our community of developers engineering our ability to have financial independence.

We will even be auctioning off gear, such as signed #Bitcoin Car helmets, that will go towards #Bitcoin open-source development.

@coinbase, it’s not too late!

@krakenfx, you should get @danheld a @saquon signed #Bitcoin Car helmet. He deserves it.

There is no better cause worth fighting for than ensuring the world’s brightest minds remain independent and working on arguably humanity’s greatest creation.

@rinusveekay, you raced your ass off.

@edcarpenter20, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Not only for the money raised for #Bitcoin, but for the message you sent to the world.

You’re a hero, and this is only the beginning. You started something truly magical.

To the community, thank you. I am blown away but not surprised.

We relentlessly stand for what we know is right.

We relentlessly fight for what we believe in.

We continue to support #Bitcoin and push the world forward in what we hope is the right direction.

Even 🇸🇻 tuned in!

To everyone that came to the race, thank you for being by my side in the pit ✊👊🤝

Standing with @saquon in a #Bitcoin polo for the national anthem next to @PNCBank is something I will never forget.

Magical. Bitcoin unites us all, no matter who you are.

This is only the beginning.

Other cars, sports teams, artists, musicians, actors, and so on have reached out to support #Bitcoin development.

If you thought I was going to stop now, you don’t know me or this community.

Simply put, #Bitcoin is special.

Above all else, #Bitcoin is hope.

There is nothing worth fighting for more than #Bitcoin.

Much love, #Bitcoin. We’re so weird, and I love it. Who would want to be like the suits anyways.

The #Bitcoin Car and I will see you in Miami ❤️😃🚀🌚
