The article outlines the author's journey in developing Nummus, a new Bitcoin wallet startup, including past work as a frontend developer and recent backend training. Nummus serves as a custodial wallet that offers innovative features like a BTC-backed credit card and collateralized loans, aiming to allow users to utilize their Bitcoin's value without selling it. The author is independently creating a minimum viable product (MVP) focused on core Bitcoin functions, with plans for future enhancements like Lightning integration. Transitioning from seeking a CTO to taking on that role themselves was a key moment in their journey.
I originally set a goal to find a CTO by January 20th and was feeling kinda hopeless about doing this alone. Then I had a realization - why not be my own CTO?
Nummus will be a custodial wallet that offers a BTC-backed credit card, collateralized loans, and secure custody...solving the paradox of 'never sell your Bitcoin' and 'Bitcoin is the future of money'.
While I can't build the entire platform alone, what I can accomplish independently is developing a solid wallet. This MVP is non-custodial and focuses on base layer Bitcoin functionality.
I've been a frontend developer for almost 7 years, and recently obtained my backend certification... I now confidently full-stack and satisfied with my programming capabilities.
