About Bitsy

Aloha, I’m Joseph Avery (most people call me Joe), founder of Bitsy, which operates from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.

Bitsy started with a small, ordinary frustration. I hold crypto across more than one wallet and more than one chain, and every time someone needed to pay me I was hunting down a different address, pasting it into a chat, and hoping it was copied correctly. A Bitcoin address here, an Ethereum address there, a Solana address somewhere else. There had to be a cleaner way to hand someone the right address for the right asset, without the back and forth and without the risk of a typo sending money nowhere. So I built one.

At its core, that is all Bitsy is: one clean profile for every asset, wallet address, exchange, and network you accept. You share a single link. The person paying you picks the asset, copies the address or scans the QR code, and sends. There is no app to install and no account for them to create.

The hard part is trust, not links

Sharing an address raises an obvious question, and answering it is where Bitsy spends most of its effort: how does a visitor know the address really belongs to you, and not to someone who slipped a different one in along the way? On most link pages they don’t. They take it on faith.

Bitsy’s answer is cryptographic, not reputational. You can prove you control an address by signing a short message with the wallet that holds it. Bitsy never sees your private keys; it only checks the signature. When the math holds, your profile shows an Ownership Verified mark, and any visitor can re-run that same check for themselves. That is the whole idea. You are not asking anyone to trust Bitsy, or even to trust me. You are handing them something they can verify on their own.

One keyholder, one address. Permanently.

That single idea draws a hard line through everything I will and will not build. Bitsy verifies that one keyholder controls one address. Any trust that is not backed by a key is out of scope, and it always will be.

This is why Bitsy has no organization or team profiles, and why it never will. The moment a profile stands for a group instead of a keyholder, “verified” quietly stops meaning “the person holding the key signed this” and starts meaning “someone with admin access added this.” That gap is exactly what a scammer needs. A departed member’s address could keep collecting. An admin could add a legitimate-looking address that nobody actually controls. I would rather Bitsy do less and mean it than do more and dilute the one promise it exists to keep. The frustration that started Bitsy was personal, about my own addresses, and the product has stayed honest to that shape ever since: one person, the keys they hold, and the addresses they can prove.

What you can hold me to

• Bitsy is non-custodial. It never holds your keys or your funds. It only displays the public receiving addresses you choose to share.
• Bitsy never sees your private keys. Verification works by checking a signature you create in your own wallet, never by asking you for anything secret.
• Analytics are privacy-first. You get basic visit and copy statistics, and Bitsy stores no raw IP addresses, only one-way hashes.
• Exchange-held addresses cannot be verified, because the exchange holds the keys. Only wallets you control can sign. That is the honest answer even when it is the less convenient one.
• One carefully reviewed codebase. Every change is deliberate and reviewed before it ships, so the service stays stable and predictable rather than churning underneath you.

A real person, in a real place

I put my name to Bitsy and stand behind it. I also hold myself to the same standard Bitsy asks of everyone: my own Bitsy profile is verified exactly the way yours would be: my Bitsy profile. I built Bitsy to verify keyholders, not organizations, and I am a verified keyholder myself.

Bitsy was founded on June 4, 2026, in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.
