Richard Taylor
Richard, a former Aerospace Engineer is now focused full-time working in the freedom technology space. His love for running and bitcoin inspired him to found Bitcoin Runners: A running club for likeminded individuals to take part in social runs, races, and other events representing bitcoin and fitness around the world.
This initiative paved the way for Richard to co-found the Running Bitcoin Challenge, in collaboration with pioneering bitcoin enthusiasts. With Fran Finney serving as the Honorary Chair, this project aims to raise funds for ALS in honour of the legendary cypherpunk Hal Finney.
Richard’s desire to accelerate the adoption of bitcoin led him to co-found LightningPiggy, an open-source electronic cash piggy bank for children to accept bitcoin over lightning.
Through these endeavours, Richard is committed to fostering a community that prioritise freedom technologies, physical fitness, and the transformative potential of Bitcoin.

LightingPiggy is an electronic cash piggy bank for children, that accepts bitcoin sent over lightning while displaying the amount saved in satoshis.
Our vision is to make sats the savings’ standard for every child, while creating an educational platform to inspire future generations, not only to save in satoshis, but also to learn to code and build in a free and open source way.
