2024-12-06 21:41:19THE FIRST STEP - The following is a blog our architecture firm uses to ask new clients to consider paying their first engagement payment in BTC.
We intend to send a link to a blog with our agreement to sign and make their initial payment. Any suggestions from Nostr World?
Blog starts...
Wow, you are showing proof of living as an intentional, long-term, horizon-thinking individual by hiring an architect to help you obtain your personal architecture. You are on the leading edge of a long-term trend of clients investing personal resources to tailor how they want to live in a particular place.
You are our people! We specialize in working with clients deeply invested in their places, whether they plan to live in them or use them for their business. Our preferred clients understand that well-designed environments serve their immediate needs and contribute to our client's lives and the quality of the building for generations to come.
We accept responsibility for stewarding your goals from an idea to a life-changing asset. You will find our team cares above all else about aligning your goals with the best architecture for your situation in your particular location.
We believe in architecture for the individual and have spent 25 years figuring out how to provide a custom architectural design experience that produces consistent quality work. We follow ten principles and a milestone-based process to lead you through the project, making the right decisions in the correct order to produce the best personal architecture for you.
THE POINT OF THIS
Buildings built from hard money are created differently than buildings valued and enabled by debt financing.
Projects conceived through a hard money lens are better for both the creative fulfillment of our craft and, in the end, the quality of the product for our clients.
We believe Bitcoin is the hardest asset.
We want to take our baby step as an architecture firm to align the hard asset of Bitcoin with the hard asset of quality architecture.
OUR FIRM’S BITCOIN JOURNEY Our Bitcoin history goes back to needing to pay for ransomware attacks when BTC was $500 (18,900% increase over 9 years). No, we did not buy a bunch of $500 BTC, but we have a good Somali Pirate story to share over a beverage. At the beginning of 2024, we decided to keep a percentage of our corporate treasury in BTC. Per that decision this year, our firm has a stronger balance sheet, which means we are more resilient in helping clients, staƯ, and owners. Now, on the cusp of 2025, we have decided to take our first steps to exposure and help our clients have the option to pay in BTC.
As you want to think long-term about how you live, we share your instinct to think long-term about our firm's resilience and longevity. We have decided to take a percentage of our revenue in Bitcoin (BTC) on initial fees for new projects.
OUR GOALS Expose our client to the BTC and Lightning network to understand how to buy and use for payments.
Do our part to consider building value in BTC instead of the ever-inflating USD.
Encourage the return to long-term thinking (low-time preference) about personal buildings.
Be a part of producing better architecture.
Become a decentralized peer-to-peer value exchange outside the banking system.
Experience the utility and convenience of a 24/7 payment system.
Life in our business is simple; we provide a good service for people who value it. Making a profit and accumulating BTC as part of our business design strengthens our position as a service provider so we can focus on our craft.
You trusted us to help you produce your architecture. We ask you to consider trusting us by joining our efforts to take the first small step toward building better buildings.
