What I Want to Achieve
I want to convey to many people that Bitcoin is used globally.
Bitcoin’s ability to be used for cross-border payments, its fast transaction speed, and low fees are not well known in Japan. Therefore, I thought of making my own Bitcoin-themed goods and selling them to people around the world. By doing this, I hope to spark interest in Bitcoin among many people and help them gain a correct understanding of it.
Mission
- To show that Bitcoin is a currency actually used worldwide.
- To inform people that handmade goods are being sold globally through Bitcoin payments.
- To create items related to Bitcoin and Satoshi, as well as products using original fabrics, meeting the needs of Bitcoin events and shops.
Goals
- To expand the correct understanding of Bitcoin through the creation of handmade Bitcoin goods and Bitcoin-related content (website, social media).
- To contribute to grassroots Bitcoin activities by creating goods that cater to the needs of Bitcoin communities worldwide.

About “Proof of Handmade”
I value “Proof of Handmade”—the evidence that everything is personally crafted by me.
As the concept of time becomes increasingly significant, I want to share as much as possible about the time I dedicate to creating my goods and the actual process behind them.

It includes programming components and gradually becomes more challenging, so I recommend playing it on a computer where you can take your time.
