A 1n2.org investigation · The full Thomas Hunt Bitcoin portfolio · 2013 → 2026

Thirteen years
of Bitcoin.
Here's where
Thomas Hunt has been.

A single linkable inventory of every Bitcoin and crypto project, company, and creation that Thomas Hunt has built, conceived, evangelised, or worked for between April 2013 and May 2026. Eleven verified entries across three categories — built (Mad Bitcoins, World Crypto Network, The Bitcoin Group, Bitcoin Talk Show, Curio Cards, Mad Factory, the Mad Bitcoins WAX collection), conceived or contributed to (Tally Coin, ProTip, Misthos), and employed by (BTCJam, Purse.io). Honest specificity, no inflation: where Hunt was the founder we say so, where he was the evangelist we say so, where he was a four-month community manager we say four months. Every entry footnoted; every status flag live, dormant, or shut down checked on May 18, 2026.

Executive summary

This report is the single linkable index of Thomas Hunt's Bitcoin portfolio, April 2013 through May 2026. It is the answer to the question — asked enough times to be worth answering in one place — where has Thomas Hunt actually been involved over the years?

The inventory has three columns. Built is the work Hunt produced or co-produced — the Mad Bitcoins YouTube show (April 2013, still active),[1] The Bitcoin Group panel show (October 2013),[2] the World Crypto Network multi-show channel he co-founded in February 2014,[3] the Bitcoin Talk Show call-in he co-hosted (February 2014),[4] Curio Cards in May 2017 (co-creator, with Travis Uhrig and Rhett Creighton),[5] the 171-asset Mad Bitcoins 2021 NFT Collection on WAX (wallet cekb4.wam),[6] and the Mad Factory OpenSea umbrella that launched in September 2022 with four 1/1 collections (74 NFTs).[7]

Conceived or contributed is the harder category — projects Hunt did not build himself but participated in materially. Tally Coin was his idea, brainstormed across many Mad Bitcoins episodes; DJ Booth (a long-time WCN collaborator in Sydney) wrote the code; it launched July 2018 and sunset June 2024.[8] ProTip was a 2015 open-source non-custodial tipping plugin that Hunt promoted as the answer to ChangeTip's collapse — he wasn't the developer, but his Mad Bitcoins channel was its primary launch megaphone.[9] Misthos was a Stefano Bernardi / Justin Carter multisig wallet built on Blockstack; Hunt did the public-beta launch interview on June 20, 2018, the general-availability interview on July 31, hosted Justin on a livestream from a Blockstack event October 1, and recurringly listed Misthos alongside Tally Coin and ProTip as one of “the best open-source free Bitcoin inventions that need more attention.”[10] He was the evangelist, not the founder.

Employed is the strict W-2 column. BTCJam, a Brazilian P2P Bitcoin lending platform, hired Hunt as Community Manager in February 2015 — the LinkedIn record gives the dates as February to May 2015, a four-month stretch.[11] Purse.io, the Bitcoin-Amazon-discount marketplace, hired him as Community Manager next, June 2015 to October 2016 — a sixteen-month stretch that ran through the 2016 conference circuit.[12] Both companies have since shut down: BTCJam in 2017, Purse.io in 2020.[13]

Beyond the inventory: the report has been cross-linked into the existing 1n2.org reports that already cover individual pieces in depth — the Mad Bitcoins NFT arc for Curio + Mad Factory + WAX, the Tipping Tech & Freedom Money report for the ProTip / Tally Coin / Honk Honk HODL throughline, and the Conference Interviews and Mad Tour reports for the on-the-road era when most of these companies first appeared on camera. This portfolio report is the index; those are the deep dives.

Projects he helped seed, demoed on his show, and pushed into the world.

The harder category. Where Hunt was not the developer but contributed materially — the idea behind it (Tally Coin), the launch megaphone (ProTip), or the on-camera evangelism that introduced it to the Bitcoin world (Misthos).

Hunt: the idea · DJ Booth (@djbooth007, Australia): the build

A non-custodial Bitcoin fundraising thermometer — bring your own address, set a goal, get a public progress bar — that grew out of Mad Bitcoins on-air brainstorming and was implemented by DJ Booth, a long-time WCN insider in Sydney who had earlier co-hosted The Flipside with Theo Goodman on WCN (2014–2015) and built the WCN and Mad Bitcoins websites themselves.[8] Launched July 25, 2018; powered the Honk Honk HODL Canadian Freedom Convoy fundraiser in February 2022 (peaked at ~22 BTC). DJ Booth formally sunset the platform on June 1, 2024 (announced April 27, 2024). A V2 lives at tallycoin.app.

Another great thing they can do is check out tallycoin at tallyco.in … you bring your own Bitcoin address. You put that in there. You set a goal … And then tallycoin sets up a little fundraiser site for you with a thermometer. … It's just a project that we're working on with DJ Booth from Australia. … And I helped them with the idea. — Thomas Hunt, World Crypto Network livestream, September 23, 2018

Hunt: evangelist · launch megaphone — not the developer

An open-source non-custodial Bitcoin tipping browser extension that worked across YouTube, SoundCloud, Blogger, WordPress, and any site — positioned as the answer to ChangeTip's VC-funded custodial collapse. Hunt was its primary launch megaphone in September 2015: “ProTip: Automatic Bitcoin Tipping for the People — open source, free, RT” (Sep 22, 2015), tracking daily user counts and reviews on Twitter through October.[9] He did not write the code — the development was led by Chris Ellis (@MrChrisEllis) and the ProTip team — but his channel was the primary launch megaphone in Bitcoin Twitter, and ProTip recurred for years in Hunt's “best open-source Bitcoin inventions that need more attention” tweets alongside Tally Coin and Misthos.

Misthos

2018 — primary Hunt involvement Shut down · in liquidation since May 2019
Hunt: on-camera evangelist · WCN launch interview · conference demos — not founder, not advisor

A streamlined multisig Bitcoin wallet for businesses, built on Blockstack with non-custodial decentralized identity. Founded by Stefano Bernardi and Justin Carter (with body-mind-arts and others); marquee feature was Peter Todd's “degrading multisig” concept.[10] Hunt's role was the public-facing evangelist: he ran the announcement interview on WCN during the public-beta launch on June 20, 2018, ran the general-availability launch interview on July 31, 2018, demoed it at HCPP18 Prague (Oct 1, 2018), and recurringly listed Misthos alongside Tally Coin and ProTip in his “Best Open Source FREE Bitcoin Inventions” tweets (e.g. Oct 11, 2018). He was not a founder, was not on the team page, and tweets like “Misthos is currently not under active development due to lack of funding...” are from the Misthos team account, not Hunt.

Year of involvement: 2018, intensively (~four months of demos and interviews from June to October). No on-air promotion after the project went into liquidation in May 2019. Current status: Per public records, Misthos has been in liquidation since May 2, 2019 and closed since January 4, 2022; the misthos.io domain no longer serves the app.[14]

The W-2 column: where Hunt drew a salary.

Two Bitcoin startups hired Hunt as Community Manager during the mid-2010s. Both have since shut down. The dates here come from Hunt's LinkedIn export, cross-referenced against contemporaneous press and the BTCJam and Purse.io company blogs.

BTCJam

Feb 2015 → May 2015 (Hunt's tenure) · company shut May 2017 Shut down (May 2017)
Community Manager — San Francisco Bay Area · four months · LinkedIn-confirmed

BTCJam was a Brazilian-founded peer-to-peer Bitcoin lending platform — founded in late 2012 by CEO Celso Pitta, targeting developing countries where personal-loan interest rates were 200%+ per year and bank credit was inaccessible. At peak, BTCJam serviced loans in 122 countries totalling more than 64,000 BTC.[15] Hunt joined as Community Manager in February 2015. CoinDesk picked it up on Feb 13, 2015: “Bitcoin startup @BTCJam taps bitcoin blogger @madbitcoins as community manager.”[11] LinkedIn captures the achievements: “Doubled twitter followers in three months. Quadrupled previous year's blog traffic in three months. Increased 2FA usage by 24%. Created more than 30 blog posts ... weekly newsletter."

His LinkedIn tenure ends in May 2015 — a four-month engagement. By June he was at Purse.io. BTCJam itself ran another two years before announcing closure on May 29, 2017, citing regulatory challenges and difficulty introducing Bitcoin tech to impoverished communities; users could withdraw stored Bitcoin until July 1, 2018.[15]

Purse.io

Jun 2015 → Oct 2016 (Hunt's tenure) · company shut Jun 2020 Shut down (Jun 2020)
Community Manager — San Francisco Bay Area · sixteen months · LinkedIn-confirmed

Purse.io was “Bitcoin's killer app” (per Roger Ver) — a marketplace that let you buy anything on Amazon at a discount by paying in Bitcoin, by matching shoppers with people who wanted to swap Amazon gift cards for crypto. Co-founded by Andrew Lee in 2014, backed by Digital Currency Group and Roger Ver. Hunt was hired on June 24, 2015 — the announcement: “Purse hires Thomas Hunt (@madbitcoins) as Community Manager!” with a video on the @WorldCryptoNet channel (id TctXwHsZtns).[12]

Hunt's LinkedIn captures the role as Jun 2015 to Oct 2016, a sixteen-month engagement that ran through the 2016 Bitcoin conference circuit. He's on tape demoing the product (“I just saved 25% on my Fukushima radiation detector direct from Amazon…”), running referral codes (“Use Promo Code TOM when you join Purse and maybe I'll win the office pool!”), and editing Purse marketing videos (“send to thomas (at) purse.io”). After Hunt left, Purse ran another four years — until co-founder Andrew Lee announced on June 26, 2020 that the company would cease operations, shortly after Amazon cut its affiliate commission rates.[16]

Note on LinkedIn: Hunt's LinkedIn also lists “CEO — Stealth Startup (Internet) — Oct 2016 to present.”[17] This entry has no public details, no company name, and no associated Bitcoin product that the record allows us to identify. We are listing this footnote rather than counting it as a separate verified portfolio entry. If “Stealth Startup” is in fact the umbrella under which Mad Factory, the WAX collection, or any other 1n2-documented project sits, we'll fold it in when Hunt or the public record fills in the blank.

Section VI · What's missing

An honest list of the gaps in this report.

If you're Thomas, or you know him — please flag what we missed.

This is a verification-first inventory. Where we couldn't verify, we left it out rather than inflate the count. We'd rather under-claim and add later than over-claim and walk it back. Here is what we know we don't know:

“Stealth Startup — CEO, Oct 2016 to present” on Hunt's LinkedIn has no public details. If this is the umbrella under which Mad Factory, the WAX collection, or any other documented project sits, or if it's a separate venture we don't know about, we'll add the entry once we have a name and a date range.

Advisory roles — Hunt may have advised projects we haven't connected to him in this report (early advisor seats are notoriously hard to document from the outside). The Twitter and LinkedIn archives surface promotion patterns, not formal advisory agreements.

Brief on-air collaborations — the Mad Bitcoins channel has run hundreds of guest interviews over thirteen years (catalogued in the Conference Interviews report). Where an interview turned into a sustained working relationship, we tried to capture it here. Where it was a one-off, we did not.

Other tipping / fundraising tools. ChangeTip is covered in the tipping report but Hunt was a user / on-air booster, not a maker, so it's not in the portfolio here. If there are non-custodial wallets, tipping plugins, or other “Hunt evangelised this for several months” tools we missed, the criterion to qualify for the “Conceived / Contributed” column is roughly: Hunt did at least one on-air interview AND recurringly listed it as part of his BUIDL evangelism stack.

The corrections inbox: file factual corrections (with sources) via the 1n2.org contact channels. This report will be updated as new evidence arrives.

Footnotes & verification

Sources, dates, and the receipts.

Every claim above is footnoted to a source we can re-fetch — LinkedIn position records, contemporaneous tweets in ~/brain/brain.db, the Mad Bitcoins / WCN mirror archive, or a public archive of the company in question. Where the source is internal to 1n2.org we link the specific report. Where it's external we link the URL.

  1. Mad Bitcoins on LinkedIn. Hunt's LinkedIn export record (in brain.db, source linkedin_position): “Writer, Producer, Performer, Editor, Graphics @ Mad Bitcoins — Apr 2013 to Apr 2015.” Body: “Wrote, directed, produced and performed my own daily youtube news show about Bitcoin. Called ‘The Stephen Colbert of Bitcoin’ by FastCompany Labs … Created more than 500 episodes in two years.” The LinkedIn end-date is the administrative end of the LinkedIn-listed role; the channel itself continues publishing.
  2. The Bitcoin Group on LinkedIn. Record: “Writer, Producer, Moderator @ The Bitcoin Group — Oct 2013 to Apr 2015.” Body: “Wrote, directed, produced and participated in my own debate roundtable show about Bitcoin. Created more than 60 weekly episodes with more than 3,000 subscribers. Now broadcasting on the World Crypto Network. Well respected in the industry for being a source for real news.”
  3. World Crypto Network on LinkedIn. Record: “Co-Founder @ World Crypto Network — Feb 2014 to Apr 2015.” Body: “Created my own network of YouTube shows covering cryptocurrency, open source software and internet freedom. Recruited other creators to join the channel ... Helped grow the channel to more than 3,000 subscribers and more than 12 contributors from all over the world. Covered Live Global Events like the Hong Kong Democracy protest, the Bit License hearings and the Mt. Gox collapse.”
  4. Bitcoin Talk Show on LinkedIn. Record: “Writer, Producer, Co-Host @ Bitcoin Talk Show — Feb 2014 to Apr 2015.” Body: “Co-Hosted a Bitcoin Call-In Talk Show. Created more than 40 weekly episodes. Featured guests from all over the world including Australia, Germany, England, and Denmark.” Episodes appear in the WCN archive after 2015 as well (e.g. used as the time-slot for Tally Coin promotion in 2018).
  5. Curio Cards co-creator attribution. Confirmed by Hunt's own tweet of March 15, 2021: “Curio.cards was created in 2017 by @HeyRhet @travisformayor & @MadBitcoins #curiocards. Referenced in the ERC-721 spec.” Cross-referenced in the full 1n2.org investigation at /reports/mad-bitcoins-nft/, the long-form /articles/curio-cards-story.html, and the Curio Wiki.
  6. WAX collection counts. AtomicAssets API on May 18, 2026: https://wax.api.atomicassets.io/atomicassets/v1/collections/madbitcoins1/stats returns 171 assets, 11 templates, 10 burned. Schemas: madbitcoins, membership (111 Collector's Club cards), nftadventure (8 templates, 5 editions each for the Adventures in #NFTs show portraits). Full breakdown in /reports/mad-bitcoins-nft/#wax.

  8. Tally Coin — Hunt's idea, DJ Booth's build. See the Tipping Tech & Freedom Money report for the full verbatim record. Key sources: (a) the on-air quote of September 23, 2018 in which Hunt says “It's just a project that we're working on with DJ Booth from Australia … And I helped them with the idea”; (b) the first Hunt tweet on the product, July 25, 2018: “Donate #Bitcoin to my new Tallyco.in”; (c) the sunset announcement from DJ Booth (@djbooth007) on April 27, 2024; (d) the formal shutdown date of June 1, 2024 from @tallycoinapp. DJ Booth is based in Australia (per his GitHub profile) and earlier co-hosted The Flipside on WCN.
  9. ProTip — Hunt's role as evangelist, not developer. First-day promo tweets from Hunt on Sep 21–22, 2015: “ProTip: Automatic Bitcoin Tipping for the People - protip.is - opensource free RT”; daily user-count updates through October. ProTip recurs in Hunt's “Best Open Source FREE Bitcoin Inventions” tweets in 2018 alongside Tally Coin and Misthos. The build was led by Chris Ellis (@MrChrisEllis) and team; Hunt is on tape demonstrating the plugin and pushing user counts but not in the code. Full thread coverage in the tipping report.
  10. Misthos — Hunt as on-air evangelist, 2018. Primary record in brain.db, source twitter_archive: Jun 20, 2018 RT of @misthosio announcing public beta; same day “Going live soon with Misthos Interview!” on Periscope; WCN livestream “Announcing @misthosio Public Beta” (YouTube id i3cj76p6U9k); Jul 30, 2018 GA announcement RT and own tweet (“Announcing Misthos: The Easiest Way to Manage #Bitcoin as a Team”); Jul 31 WCN live demo; Oct 1, 2018 at Blockstack event in Berlin, “Now speaking: Justin from @misthosio”; Oct 11 in Hunt's “Best #OpenSource FREE Bitcoin Inventions that need more attention” tweet alongside Tally Coin and ProTip; Oct 26 “Check out the latest video about @Misthos Multisig Bitcoin wallet”; Dec 7 mobile-support RT.

  11. BTCJam on LinkedIn. Record: “Community Manager @ BTCjam (San Francisco Bay Area) — Feb 2015 to May 2015.” Body: “Doubled twitter followers in three months. Quadrupled previous year's blog traffic in three months. Increased 2FA usage by 24% (protecting user security). Created more than 30 blog posts (announcements, howto, good borrower interviews, news). Unified look and feel of blogs and social networking sites.

  17. “Stealth Startup”. Hunt's LinkedIn record: “CEO @ Stealth Startup (Internet) — Oct 2016 to present.” No public details, no company name. Listed here for completeness as a known unknown; not counted in the “built” tally.

Thirteen years is a long time on the Bitcoin internet. The chain itself is barely older. What this inventory shows, if you read it sideways, is that Thomas Hunt's portfolio has the shape of a creator-evangelist, not a venture-builder. The built column is a YouTube network and an NFT artifact — both of which exist because Hunt showed up every day to make them. The conceived column is what happens when a creator-evangelist gets an idea (Tally Coin), or when a creator-evangelist's show becomes the launch megaphone (ProTip), or when a creator-evangelist becomes the on-camera explainer for someone else's code (Misthos). The employed column is the brief twenty-month window between Mad Bitcoins becoming a full-time job in its own right and Hunt going back to being his own boss.

The companies in the employed column both shut down. The projects in the conceived column had a mix of fates — Tally Coin powered Honk Honk HODL and then sunset cleanly; ProTip went dormant; Misthos liquidated. The work in the built column survives, almost in inverse proportion to how much it was about Hunt: Curio Cards (where Hunt was one of three co-creators) is now a $40M+ cumulative-volume OpenSea collection; Mad Factory (where Hunt is the sole creator) is 74 1/1 NFTs that exist on a chain forever. The shows themselves — Mad Bitcoins, WCN, The Bitcoin Group — are still publishing in 2026, thirteen years on.

The portfolio is not a balance sheet. It's a record. Every report linked from this page goes deeper on one slice of it. If something is missing, file the correction; the inventory will get longer.
