ANECDOTE

Solo Creator’s Pivot To Bitcoin Product

TC described his path from web developer to creating Time Chain Calendar after losing a job at a Bitcoin company.
He built the first version in a 10-day hack session and has iterated the site for almost three years.

ANECDOTE

Camera Feature Inspired By Users

TC added a camera feature late in development after seeing users block-stamp births and milestones on social media.
The feature overlays live block height and price on photos and videos as a visual diary.

INSIGHT

Visualizing Bitcoin’s Timeframes

The app visualizes Bitcoin as nested timeframes using five concentric circles representing block timing, 24-hour distribution, difficulty cycle, halving, and supply issuance.
Visual interaction (slider) clarifies halving effects and long-term supply dynamics better than text alone.
