There are a handful of companies I personally think are going to exponentially grow as bitcoin increases in price and becomes a more established asset class, and if investing in them was available to non-accredited bitcoiners like me, it would be a no-brainer. <\/p>\n<p>But today, that may have just changed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timestampfinancial.com\/\">Timestamp<\/a>, a new platform that allows accredited and nonaccredited investors to invest in Bitcoin and open-source companies, has officially launched. Timestamp promises users they can invest in Bitcoin companies with \u201clow investment minimums&#8221; where users can review offerings, connect directly with the founders of these companies, and explore curated opportunities. Sounds pretty cool!<\/p>\n<p>The idea of making investing in Bitcoin and open-source companies more accessible to plebs really interests me, and I feel that many other Bitcoiners would agree. After working in this industry for a few years, I\u2019ve definitely noticed that finding funding to support open-source companies and projects can be pretty difficult. But a platform that allows a lot more people to join in on investing in and supporting these companies could really be a game changer.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, users can now invest in the first batch of Bitcoin companies on the platform:<\/p>\n<p>CASCDR \u2014 a suite of AI services payable in Bitcoin <\/p>\n<p>Jippi \u2014 a gamified education app that helps Bitcoin beginners learn and earn <\/p>\n<p>Lightning Bounties \u2014 a Github-integrated platform that rewards software developers with Bitcoin for their contributions <\/p>\n<p>Shopstr \u2014 a global, decentralized marketplace built on Nostr <\/p>\n<p>Sovereign \u2014 a wallet built for the Bitcoin standard<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll definitely be paying attention to what other companies are added to this platform in the future, and I think you should too.<\/p>\n<p>Over three years ago, I asked Timestamp\u2019s founder and CEO, Dr. Arman Meguerian, to speak with me on stage at the Bitcoin 2021 Conference in Miami, and he joined me for a great <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dHRINbszS2g?si=GzyOEZ-657ze07zH\">conversation<\/a> on Bitcoin maximalism with a few other great Bitcoiners. I am really excited and happy to see him launch this company after building it quietly through the bear market these last couple years, and looking forward to seeing all they achieve! <\/p>\n<p><em>This article is a <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/takes\/bitcoin-magazine-introduces-opinion-takes\"><em>Take<\/em><\/a><em>.
