Open-Sourcing the Governmment - Unscripted conversation between Maya Prabhoe and OpnState
OpnState, Maya Parbhoe

The bitcoin network exists without the need for any regulatory system, however regulation may still have an important role in a hyper-bitcoinized world... After all, projects and businesses will still require capital and investors and savers will still need to know whether an investment or project is legitimate, safe or sound. So how will regulation look like in a decentralized world? Is regulation without a centralized, territorial regulator possible?

In this session, Mayah Prabhoe and OpnState sit down and have a candid (and completely unscripted) talk about the ills and pains of legacy regulatory systems and discuss how financial services could be made safe, without centralized regulators.

Engage and Mainstream Bitcoin with All in Bitcoin with CK.
CK, Jay

In the rollercoasting world of Bitcoin, the voices that matter most are those of the community. As action-driven podcasters, we believe in the power of dialogue and engagement to drive meaningful content creation. This 30-minute interactive session will invite the audience, both in-person and through live chat, to share their thoughts on the topics they wish to see explored in Bitcoin podcasts and conferences, and which ones have become over-discussed. With this open informal exchange, we hope to contribute to elevate the quality of conversations in the Bitcoin space, attract more participants, and close the knowledge gap between more established Bitcoiners and newcomers. Ultimately, our goal is to create a more welcoming and informed Bitcoin community where everyone feels heard and empowered to contribute.

The Paradox of 'Free': Confronting Challenges in Free Bitcoin Education
Scott Lindberg

"The Paradox of Free: Confronting Challenges in Bitcoin Education" explores the inherent contradictions faced when offering free and open-source Bitcoin education. While the idea of making education freely accessible aligns with the principles of freedom and inclusivity, it also presents significant challenges. These include the difficulty of motivating top talent without financial incentives and overcoming the perception that free resources lack value. This talk delves into these obstacles, examining how the paradox of "free" can hinder the effectiveness of Bitcoin education and discussing strategies to confront and overcome these challenges. Join us to explore how we can make free and open-source Bitcoin education both impactful and sustainable.

Why Bitcoin is a Safe Haven in Hyperinflation
Brandon Keys

Title: How Bitcoin Is a Safe Haven in Hyperinflation

Abstract:
In times of hyperinflation, traditional currencies rapidly lose value, eroding wealth and destabilizing economies. This talk explores how Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency with a fixed supply, offers a compelling alternative as a safe haven during such economic crises. I will discuss the underlying principles of Bitcoin, its resistance to inflationary pressures, and its role as a store of value and medium of exchange. By examining historical examples and current trends, the presentation will highlight the increasing adoption of Bitcoin in hyperinflationary environments and its potential to provide financial security and preserve purchasing power for individuals and institutions alike.

Shells to Satoshis: The Story of Money & The Rise of Bitcoin
Joel Marquez

Join authors Deanna Heikkinen and Joel Marquez for an engaging conversation about their book "Shells to Satoshi: The Story of Money & The Rise of Bitcoin" as they unpack the fascinating journey of money through human history. From seashells to gold coins to Bitcoin, they'll explore how societies have reinvented money to meet their needs - and how those in power have often corrupted it. Drawing from Dr. Heikkinen's background in history and anthropology and her co-author Joel Marquez's tech expertise and philosophical insights, they'll connect the dots between ancient monetary systems and today's financial challenges. The authors will share insights about Bitcoin's place in monetary history as a technological breakthrough that addresses problems as old as money itself. Whether you're a longtime Bitcoiner or new to the journey, this casual fireside chat will offer fresh perspectives on money's past and future, with plenty of time for audience questions and discussion.

Life, Death, Taxes, and Bitcoin: What will your legacy be?
Andrew Clubine, Jon Tellis

"To dust you will return." What about your stack?

Bitcoiners who want to build generational wealth need to think beyond mere custody. The bigger your stack gets, the more you need to consider law, residency, tax, finances, estate planning, governance, family dynamics, strategy, and more. Planning can be overwhelming. But when done well, it sets you free to leverage your wealth for the good of you and your family, your community, and culture.

This presentation explores (1) crucial considerations for protecting your wealth and (2) the unique possibility that Bitcoin offers for building and renewing families, institutions, and culture. It is delivered by an accountant and a lawyer with experience in private client services, philanthropy, and Bitcoin advisory.

This work is the product of a collaboration among Bitcoiner artists, launched two years ago at Adopting Bitcoin, for the purpose of creating a Rock Opera monumentalizing the origin of Satoshi in a way that honors the mystery and touches people's hearts.

The goal is to inspire a journey of self-sovereignty through a work of art that can be both celebrated by Bitcoiners and appreciated by muggles.

This version is a milestone: twelve original songs with genuine physical art; sung by AI. The ultimate form will be a version with original human music, animation, and a stage performance.

Benefits of Bitcoin Mining - A Tool for Energy Abundance
Dennis Porter

Bitcoin mining is a powerful tool for enhancing modern energy systems. With the flexibility of Proof-of-Work mining, Bitcoin miners can balance electricity grids, absorb surplus energy, and drive the development of energy infrastructure. Their ability to adjust energy consumption in real-time makes them ideal partners for grid operators, while also unlocking economic value from underutilized energy sources.

El Salvador, Bitcoin Mining & Nuclear Power
Ryan MacLeod, Heidi MacLeod

With the recent announcement of El Salvador adopting nuclear power it creates a unique opportunity to explore what the future of nuclear power looks like on a Bitcoin Standard. Bitcoin mining is going to revolutionize the economic case for building new nuclear assets big and small, anywhere in the world, that part is obvious to anybody familiar with the power consumption properties of Bitcoin mining. What comes next is even more fascinating. A guaranteed power consumer ensures that enough power for the future can be commissioned in the present with minimal underutilization risks, opening up deployment scenarios that would have been inconceivable. New software allows utilities to be compensated in real-time, and others under development would allow utilities to use lightning payments as part of power conservation programs. As generators begin to earn in Bitcoin, they then have the choice of selling it, hodling it, or putting it to work in countless novel ways in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

The Value Of Exchange
Charlie Stevens

The act of exchange between two parties is fundamental to life.

I argue that understanding the value of exchange is essential to grasp the monumental impact that Bitcoin will have on the future of the human species. I use Austrian Economics as a theoretical framework to navigate this topic.

"The Value of Exchange" is a talk that explores how exchange drives our evolution over time and how it is a core principle in all major cultures, religions, and societies. It shows that exchange transcends the material and extends beyond time.

Engaging Key Stakeholders and Innovating Alternatives to Unleash Bitcoin's True Purpose and Full Potential
Afrikanus Kofi Akosah Adusei (Frisco d'Anconia)

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system designed as a decentralized form of money devoid of central banking control. Satoshi's message in the Genesis Block clearly articulated this vision. However, Bitcoin's adoption as a functional currency remains limited, and its potential to enable freedom for everyday people has not been realized. The paper examines the challenges and prospects in engaging key stakeholders to unlock Bitcoin's true purpose and full potential. The current landscape shows a gap between Bitcoin's promise and its practical use. There is a lack of cognition among the media, academia, business, and retail. Bridging the gap requires greater awareness and collaboration with these players to shape public perception and drive acceptance. Also, devising alternative systems and communities is vital to proving Bitcoin's usable benefits. Initiatives like Bitcoin circular economies show how localized ecosystems can thrive using Bitcoin.

Bitcoin for the Legal Industry: Legal meets the Orange Pill.

Bitcoin needs a safe harbor.
As the Bitcoin ecosystem matures, regulation and legal frameworks take relevance for business and individuals. El Salvador is the most advanced landscape to deploy Bitcoin economics. The level of maturity and consolidation of business models in Bitcoin requires special attention from both, lawyers and regulators; so, what are the key elements needed to design a regulatory landscape in favor of Bitcoin?

In this talk, we'll explore key elements to consider around designing legal frameworks for Bitcoin. Right to self-custody, freedom for use and financial sovereign agents are a couple of ideas to be covered. We'll also explore why El Salvador is a safe harbor for setting up Bitcoin treasuries at corporate structures and how to do it.

Regulation and Public Policies to Foster Bitcoin Adoption and Corporate Investment
Rudy Gallardo, Juan Mayen, Carlos Miguel Rivas Carrillo, Christian Betancourt

On September 7, 2021, El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender. This status is under threat from organizations seeking to revoke it, alongside potential regulatory misunderstandings that could stifle innovation. To counter this, we must create open environments for discussing Bitcoin's capabilities, emphasizing that its adoption serves the greater good. Collaboration among lawyers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers is essential for Bitcoin's survival and fostering innovation. While some jurisdictions attract talent without facing the same regulatory pressures as El Salvador, the spirit of Bitcoin promotes a world of free transactions for all, regardless of beliefs. Regulators, policymakers, and entrepreneurs must work together to address concerns and find compromises that benefit Bitcoin users in El Salvador. This dialogue will highlight both the challenges and opportunities in the evolving regulatory landscape.

In a barter system, trading items like chickens for homes or apples for steak is inefficient due to mismatched values, differing shelf lives, and spoilage risks. Money simplifies this process by providing a universally accepted medium of exchange, allowing for more efficient and scalable trade. Bitcoin, as a form of money, extends this utility into the digital realm, offering a decentralized and secure method for facilitating trade on a global scale.

  1. Boomer Retirements and Market Opportunities: As approximately 10,000 baby boomers retire daily, many of their small and medium-sized businesses will not find buyers, leading to significant market gaps. This scenario presents two key opportunities:

Acquisition: Acquiring an existing business is a strategic way to build wealth, capitalizing on est

Jose Flores

Since Bitcoin is a noncash generating asset with big swings in price, having the ability to get liquidity in fiat against your Bitcoin, without having to sell, is a must feature for the apex asset in the world.

As more fiat investor discover that this is the new T-bill of our era, interest rates will only go down and loans collateralized in Bitcoin will be the cheapest in the market.

Secure coin self-custody using a BitBox02
Nicola Susca

Self-custody is a fundamental principle when dealing with Bitcoin, and hardware wallets have become established as the most popular solution to secure coins while (somewhat) maintaining their accessibility. Thus it is important to highlight common pitfalls that erode the security of the setup, or increase the risk of losing the funds by accident.

Instead of talking about theory only, creating a real setup with a BitBox02 hardware wallet will give workshop participants a better grasp on how general important self-custody best practices can be implemented in the real world.

In this workshop, you will create a 2-of-3 multi-signature wallet together in teams of three. Each of you can receive Bitcoin on this wallet. To send, one of the group members creates a transaction and signs it, as with a single-signature wallet. Another member of the group also signs this transaction as a co-signer and sends it to the mempool. Step by step, everyone is ultimately able to use a multi-signature wallet.

Furthermore, we identify a clear trend towards a net zero footprint for the Bitcoin mining network in the coming years. This is driven by the increasing share of renewable energy in mining and the adoption of methane mitigation-based Bitcoin mining practices.

Bitcoin as the Promethean Quest for Individuation [and liberation]
monika bravo

Bitcoin is more than a financial tool; it represents a state of consciousness integrating diverse practices to support human liberation. Reimagined as Prometheus, Bitcoin is a force challenging centralized control and empowering autonomy. Through Greek mythology, evolutionary astrology (a language of numbers, harmonics, and planetary cycles interpreted through myth), the presentation explores Bitcoin's alignment with the archetypes of Aquarius/Uranus/Prometheus, symbols of disruption, awakening, and enlightenment. Contrary to Michael Saylor's view, which likens Satoshi Nakamoto to Prometheus and Bitcoin to the stolen fire, this keynote suggests Bitcoin itself is the Promethean fire within all humans, transforming society and guiding us from economic oppression to self-sovereignty. Prometheus, as a Titan on Earth, aligns more closely with humanity than the gods of Olympus, while Satoshi remains in a more distant, almost mythical realm.

Notes from a small country in Africa
Ian Foster, EconoKidz.com, Bitcoin Boma, Nick Twyman

Could a small country in Africa be the next bitcoin country? Like El Salvador, Malawi is a small, densely populated and mostly unheard of agricultural nation. It is also one of the world’s poorest nations and, with an election next year, is in desperate need of ‘New Ideas’. Bitcoin Boma was founded to educate on and advocate for bitcoin in a country where the currency can be devalued by 44% overnight, savings interest rates are capped at 4% and dollars are scarce and highly regulated.

I have lived there for the past ten years and founded a business to help companies succeed in this challenging environment. In this talk, I will share my experiences of this beautiful and peaceful country and my realisation that the donors who pump in billions of funding miss the underlying cause of the poverty trap - fiat money. Through Bitcoin Boma our aim is for bitcoin to fix this and for Malawi to be an example to the rest of Africa as El Salvador is to Latin America.

Jesus is a bitcoiner
Adam O’Brien

We dive into the bitcoin journey (from pre bitcoin maximalist to bitcoin maximalist) and then venture down what might be a surprising path - that bitcoin maximalism leads you to become a follower of Jesus!

We also explore the biblical commands of money and how they do/do not fit into a hyperbitcoinized world.

The Global Threat to Sovereignty: How Your Country is Complying Itself Into a Gilded Cage
OpnState

OpnState currently drafts legislation and policy for a significant financial services government. He has lead the development of his government's regulatory framework for digital assets and has drafted legislation for all aspects of financial services, including anti-money laundering and laws that govern companies which use bitcoin.

His insider perspective has allowed him to see how governments are being coerced by unelected global standard-setting bodies., how governments are slowly losing the ability to decide what is best for their population and how the very concept of "government" is gradually centralizing away from you, the citizen. Fed up by what he sees around him every day, he decided to blow the whistle on some alarming trends you should be made aware of.

OpnState will discuss what he sees, how governments are being coerced, and what you can do about it.

Parents in Bitcoin

The power of Local First Nostr
42pupusas

Nostr is simple yet powerful protocol for creating and relaying cryptographically secure message.
One of the most important features of the data structure used in a Nostr Note is the ability for it to self-validate
both the content and the author of the message. This allows for data structures to be relayed and stored without
relying on a centralized server for validation and authorization of data.

If used in conjunction with a local-first architecture, Nostr can allow users to retain control of their data,
and expose only the fragments of data that they wish to share with others, as well as the ability to store and backup the data
in a distributed fashion.

Investing in Bitcoin Cities: The Future of Urban Resilience and Freedom
Joe Davison

Investing in Bitcoin Cities

In this talk, we imagine what life will be like post-hyperbitcoinization, when Bitcoin is not just an asset but the dominant form of money in society. The theoretical leap to a world built on Bitcoin reveals a radically different structure for industries, governance, and daily life. By exploring a single day in the life of a citizen in "Lightning City," we can consider the transformative implications of hyperbitcoinization across key sectors like energy, transportation, agriculture, supply chain, healthcare, education, media, and security.

This future is not just a vision of financial independence, but an exploration of how Bitcoin’s decentralized infrastructure can transform every facet of modern life. Post-hyperbitcoinization, the world will be built on trustless systems, permissionless transactions, and decentralized governance, creating a world of transparency, privacy, and autonomy.
