Most Bitcoin users rely on custodial Lightning services for better UX, but sacrifice privacy in the process. This interactive workshop explores how Chaumian ecash (Cashu protocol) solves the custodial privacy dilemma. Participants will experience hands-on demos including claiming ecash from paper notes, private transfers, and multi-mint workflows. Learn why ecash might be the missing piece for mainstream Bitcoin adoption without surveillance.

El tiempo es nuestro recurso más precioso y no renovable. La economía austriaca enseña que el valor es subjetivo, que los valores se basan en necesidades esenciales, y que la escasez da peso y significado a nuestras elecciones. Esta charla explora tres axiomas fundamentales—Acción Humana, No-Violencia y Derechos de Propiedad, y Preferencia Temporal Baja—y muestra cómo están encarnados en el código de Bitcoin. La Acción Humana hace visible que cada decisión conlleva un costo de oportunidad. Los Derechos de Propiedad establecen libertad y creatividad a través del intercambio voluntario.

My First Bitcoin began as an improbable idea in El Salvador in 2021--that independent bitcoin education could change the world.

One bitcoin cycle later and that local experiment has become a global movement. Bitcoin education projects in more than 40 nations around the world use our open-source materials, contribute their own best-practices and support each other, turning what could have been isolated silos into a global movement.

This is a story of an idea whose time has come.

La Crypta presents Cruzada21, a crusade to connect and strengthen Bitcoin circular economies across Latin America. We introduce VEINTIUNO.LAT, inspired in TWENTYONE.WORLD, Einundzwanzig initiative.

The first wave begins with 10 communities, from Buenos Aires to Berlín (El Salvador). Each receives a Bitcoin node, 15 POS terminals, and 200 NFC cards. A trained squad of five members led by a captain supports every community: installing infrastructure, creating a website, rebranding, building social presence, and assisting with merchant onboarding.

The deployment relies on the new LaWallet v2 stack, integrating Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) and Alby Hub, enabling progressive custody onboarding. Users start with a simple custodial experience and transition to full self-custody as they grow.

Our roadmap: 2, 100, 500 communities in 4 years, with clear metrics — onboarded merchants, sats transacted, self-custodial users.

Bitcoin no solo es una herramienta tecnológica si no una revolución transformadora que cambia y vidas y la forma en que se vive en los pueblos y las comunidades. Es libertad para niños y adultos sin importar donde vive o a que familias pertenecen.

El Salvador is home to some of the finest specialty coffees in the world, grown by small producers who, over generations, developed a unique coffee culture and processes for savoring the tastes and subtle notes of a fine cup of coffee. Our project emerged out of this generational passion for fine coffee culture.

Around the world, Indigenous communities are reclaiming their economic sovereignty by embracing new tools for exchange and empowerment. Bitcoin, with its open and borderless design, resonates deeply with traditions of collective resource stewardship and community trust. Far from being “late adopters,” these communities often show how circular economies can thrive when technology aligns with cultural values.

This talk will explore real-world examples of Indigenous communities in Latin America and beyond experimenting with Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, savings, and empowerment. Alexandra Navarro will highlight the lessons these communities offer the world: how grassroots adoption can overcome barriers of infrastructure, how tradition and innovation can coexist, and why the path to total Bitcoin adoption may begin not in corporate boardrooms, but in the wisdom of the oldest communities.

Esta charla explora cómo la educación digital puede mejorarar la vida de las personas mayores, ayudándolas a desenvolverse con confianza en la revolución del dinero digital. A partir de experiencias en Argentina, Perú, Mexico y El Salvador, se presentan estrategias educativas que integran habilidades tecnológicas y financieras, fomentando la inclusión, la participación social y la autonomía en la era de Bitcoin.

Modern feminism, despite its noble beginnings advocating financial independence and sovereignty for women, has taken a counterproductive turn by encouraging women to suppress their feminine traits in favour of adopting traditionally masculine ones. This ideological shift has left both men and women unfulfilled, contributing to declining birth rates across the Western world and beyond. For a sustainable, balanced, and healthy society, the masculine and feminine must operate synergistically rather than antagonistically, with each being valued and rewarded accordingly – including financially. Currently, not only does a gender pay gap persist, but there is also a gender wealth gap, as women continue to shoulder disproportionate responsibilities in child-rearing, housekeeping, and elder care, even when working outside the home. Bitcoin can correct these imbalances by allowing value (satoshis) to flow directly to those providing the essential goods and services to uphold a healthy society.

A Rock Opera monumentalizing the origin of Bitcoin, in songbook form.

Bitcoin is more than a financial revolution—it’s a moral and legal one. My talk connects Bitcoin to the fundamentals of Anglo-American common law and equity: the ancient principles that secured sovereignty, prosperity, and right living for free people.

I will show how fiat currency and administrative law have eroded those foundations and how Bitcoin, once widely adopted, can restore them. This is the missing framework for understanding Bitcoin as sound money within a just order of law, morality, and equity.

For an audience of Bitcoin die-hards, this session offers more than economics. It provides the WHY behind the WHAT: why sound money requires moral law, why prosperity requires sovereignty, and why Bitcoin is uniquely positioned to align with the timeless foundations of free societies.

La Crypta presenta Cruzada21: una cruzada para conectar economías circulares de Bitcoin en toda Latinoamérica. Mostramos por qué hace falta VEINTIUNO.LAT —la red que une comunidades para resolver: adopción real y sostenida; y auto-custodia.
Lanzamos con una primera oleada de 10 comunidades, de Buenos Aires a Berlín (El Salvador).
Cada comunidad recibe un nodo, 15 POS y 200 tarjetas NFC.
Se asignó una tropa de 5 con un capitán que se encargan del seguimiento, instalar todo el equipamiento, crear una página web, rebranding, redes sociales y lo que se necesite para difundir la comunidad.

Hodlers will soon face 'the nastiest hardest problem in finance': How to spend your sats for the rest of your life without ever risking running out. Learn how a Bitcoin Tontine solves this problem using a 400 year old design that pre-dates central banks.

Panel discussion on building the future of Finance and Technology in El Salador.
CNAD registered Real Estate finance company Liquid Manzanas and Innovation company illuminodes discuss the future of El Salvador and how building a tokenised future on top of Open protocols is beneficial to the businesses and the users.

LightningPiggy is a Bitcoin-enabled electronic piggy bank for children. It receives payments via the Lightning Network and displays the balance in satoshis, making sound money the standard for young savers.

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.

this panel can be done in both languages. where we could discuss our experiences running a Bitcoin only business. a panel of 3 businesses operating on a Bitcoin standard.

This presentation, explores Francis' personal journey with Bitcoin adoption and his experience with Chain Duel and PubPay, two projects built to bring Bitcoin and Lightning into real-world events and communities. Francis explains how sharing these tools across conferences and countries helped onboard thousands of people, demonstrating Bitcoin’s power as a permissionless, global system.

The talk then shifts to the recent hack of the Chain Duel infrastructure. The use of privacy tools like submarine swaps and coinjoins made the stolen funds untraceable, highlighting a core truth: Bitcoin adoption benefits everyone, including adversaries.

Francis finishes by reflecting on whether teaching people about Lightning, privacy, and self-sovereignty contributed to his own attack.

La adopción de Bitcoin muchas veces se ha tratado como el lanzamiento de un producto tradicional: se despliegan billeteras, se aprueban leyes, se hace marketing y se espera que lleguen los usuarios. Pero en la práctica, la adopción no sigue ese guion. Con años de experiencia directa en Bitrefill y ahora en K1, compartiré lecciones desde el terreno: desde integrar usuarios que operan solo en efectivo en zonas rurales de El Salvador, hasta habilitar el uso real de Bitcoin a través de cajeros, vales y pagos de servicios. También he visitado comunidades Bitcoin en América Latina y otras regiones, observando de cerca cómo se construye la adopción desde abajo. Exploraremos los principales obstáculos que aún frenan el uso de Bitcoin, y cómo superarlos. No es una sesión de hype. Es un reporte desde la realidad.

Breve descripción de como funciona Bitcoin técnicamente

Physical attacks and hacks rise in sync with the Bitcoin price. BitVault rethinks Bitcoin security with a human-first approach: time-delayed multisig. We introduce a trustless 2-of-3 setup where one key is held by a convenience signer — a service that signs only after a user-defined delay, giving users time to react before funds are moved. It is a trustless service, because in the unlikely event it refuses to comply or disappears, the user can still recover the funds with his own keys after one year. No trusted third parties. No vendor lock-in. Just Bitcoin as it was meant to be: resilient, sovereign, and self-custodied. In this talk, we present the open beta, developer SDK, and roadmap for integration into wallets, exchanges (they can be actually useful to just help the user by time-stamping the tx), and multisig setups.

What happens when you stop just talking about Bitcoin — and start living it?
In this session, Jens Wegmann shares the story of 4 Amigos El Zonte, a guesthouse in the heart of Bitcoin Beach. Built and operated on Bitcoin principles — from payments to mindset — it became a living example of circular economy, freedom, and community. A story of conviction, creativity, and the power of Bitcoin to shape real lives.

Este tema busca que los salvadoreños no bancarizados entiendan que la libertad financiera es posible para todos, sin importar su situación. Bitcoin aparece como una herramienta que facilita ese camino porque ofrece control total sobre tu dinero, sin depender de bancos ni trámites complicados.

Something is wrong with your money. Most of us know that. But the full picture is always hidden behind complicated words and confusing charts. What if everything you thought you knew about money was wrong?

Satoshi’s Gift traces the arc of monetary history, revealing how the financial system became manipulated and unsustainable. In his provocative debut, Michael Hollomon Jr. unpacks the various forces that led to Bitcoin’s creation, and argues that it may be our best chance yet to reclaim sovereignty in a world addicted to debt, inflation and centralized control.

Satoshi’s Gift is not about investing or getting rich quick. It’s about something deeper: the right of the people to work, save and plan for the future without having their time and energy stolen from them by hidden inflation and the obscure wranglings of powerful governments and too-big-to-fail banks.

The future of money isn’t coming. It’s already here. And Satoshi’s Gift is your guide to a fuller understanding of it.

The growing trend of embedding arbitrary data in Bitcoin transactions, like Ordinal inscriptions and BRC-20 tokens, has sparked discussion about how Bitcoin's limited blockspace is being used, how it impacts the long-term size of the UTXO set, and what role miners and node operators should play in relaying or filtering such transactions. Some see this as a natural extension of Bitcoin’s capabilities, while others see it as an inefficient use of the network.

This talk looks at how a proposed soft-fork upgrades (activation of OP_CTV and OP_CSFS) could provide a more purpose-built alternative. These opcodes enable structured, rule-based Bitcoin transactions, making it possible to build advanced protocols without relying on ad-hoc data storage or unusual transaction formats. By introducing clearer ways to define spending conditions and reference external data, they offer a potential path to reduce pressure on the network while still supporting innovation.

Mostro es una plataforma P2P para comprar y vender Bitcoin sobre Lightning utilizando el protocolo Nostr. En esta charla exploraremos cómo funciona este “monstruo” del intercambio: un sistema sin permisos, sin KYC y resistente a la censura que conecta a compradores y vendedores de manera descentralizada. Hablaremos del escrow con facturas hold, el sistema de reputación, la privacidad mediante claves efímeras y la importancia de Nostr como capa de comunicación. Una invitación a conocer cómo la comunidad puede crear herramientas libres que devuelven soberanía a quienes usan dinero abierto.

Opened in El Zonte in September 2025, Playa Vida Learning is the first and only full-curriculum education center on the surf-rich coast. It’s a boutique, adaptive learning experience where children gain entrepreneurial, real-life skills through meaningful, hands-on learning. Phase 1 began as a small pilot project serving early families and has since grown into a popular learning center where students ages 4–15 explore academics, art, nature, and practical life through project-based learning. For example, their 7-year-olds recently published a book; they have Ninja class, robotics, astronomy, and of course, they already know the difference between fiat and Bitcoin. The adaptive, curated curriculum at Playa Vida Learning can be boiled down to one question: Am I teachable?

Phase 2 is the next step - Playa Vida Learning is fundraising to build a purpose-built campus for more than 75 students. Finally, a school on the coast with room to grow!

The fundamentals of Bitcoin are energy, and the future of Bitcoin is energy.
Yet most people learn about Bitcoin from a finance lens, and Hashpower Academy is here to change that by offering an energy education into bitcoin that inspires people to participate more than just owning Bitcoin the asset, but for people to self-custody a percentage of their own bitcoin, run their own node, and namely become a miner in an energy money future that rewards those who produce more than they consume.

When the 75-year-old Kläger Group, a German industrial manufacturer with three production sites, faced rising energy costs and market uncertainty, it began exploring Bitcoin as a way to strengthen operational resilience. Out of this process, Terahash emerged — a dedicated company focused on integrating Bitcoin into real-world industry and energy systems. Guided by a small internal team with strong technical and organizational expertise, Terahash developed a practical three-step approach: holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset, using surplus renewable power for mining, and building managed mining services. In this talk, Matthias Fendt, Founding Member and Head of Operations & Sales at Terahash, shares how these steps evolved into Kläger Groups business model and how this blueprint helps others to apply Bitcoin within industrial environments.

Deuda; Paseo y estado de situación del sistema que tenemos actualmente, cuál son las fallas del mismo , porque vivimos una eterna crisis y cómo funciona estructuralmente dicho sistema.
Energía; Descripción del sistema al que vamos, cuáles serían los grandes hitos del cambio de paradigma que bitcoin representa como dinero respaldado en energía, cómo se compara estructuralmente con el actual, a donde vamos como civilización una vez adoptada la energía como dinero.

I was the admin for Silk Road Marketplace and was the main admin for DPR Ala Ross Ulbricht. I've written a book and would like to give more insite to what happened and how bitcoin has evolved from 2010 to today.

We don’t need another Bitcoin certificate.

We need a course designed to speed up the timeline to global adoption. Today we design learning that teaches Salvadorans to build, operate, and lead the future of the Renaissance.

The fiat education system is broken beyond repair. Built to produce obedient workers for dying empires, it no longer serves a sovereign people. So what comes next?

This interactive workshop is a collective re-imagining of education beyond state, debt, and indoctrination. Through honest conversation and radical imagination, we’ll begin sketching the blueprint for a new model: Bitcoin-native, truth-based, and built for freedom.

Come ready to question everything—and start building something better.

Since our first attempt to orange-pill a restaurant back in 2016, we’ve come a long way before seeing circular economies emerge around the world. For a while, we fell asleep — until the local community woke us up. We found ourselves in a place where paying with Bitcoin was becoming a thing. So, we jumped on the train by wrapping our core services for restaurants with a Bitcoin layer. That’s when we realized — we had a Trojan Horse. And off we went.

As bitcoin adoption accelerates, accounting is the next hurdle for serious builders. Most early adopters rely on Excel for tracking. Few have solved the accounting challenges essential for a circular bitcoin economy in which companies and individuals use bitcoin as the unit of account. In this session, I share real-world lessons from accounting in bitcoin, such as experiencing a mining P&L in sats, illustrating why managing finances on a bitcoin standard is a game-changer. Our team is building BitBooks and Bitcoin Connector, with a plan to open source key parts so our community is ready with the accounting tools to support payment adoption. We are seeking collaboration with other thought leaders. Importantly, this talk moves beyond just cost-basis accounting for capital gains tax reporting, focusing instead on the core accounting needs of bitcoin-native businesses. Join us to explore the critical adaptations to legacy accounting and the network effect of accounting in bitcoin’s future.

Hi, I’m Jeffrey Scott Ziegler, a Bitcoin-only children’s book author. I had the incredible honor of reaching #1 on the bestseller list, if only for a moment, and it reminded me how powerful stories can be. For me, the mission is simple but meaningful: to educate, inspire, and help others through the lens of Bitcoin. That’s what makes this journey so special. I titled my proposal, “Bitcoin for Bedtime” because I believe it’s never too early to start teaching our children about sound money. If anyone’s going to listen with open hearts and minds, it’s kids! And if we can plant those seeds early, who knows what kind of future they’ll grow into?
It’s a blessing to share the orange pill with those who are curious and willing. That’s what inspired me to write this book and it’s what continues to drive me today.

There’s the hard way to find a job — scrolling endless listings, sending cold applications, and hoping for a reply. Then there’s the smart way: becoming so findable that the right opportunities come to you.

Digital security is more important than ever, but also extremely confusing.

Rather than giving you a list of instructions to blindly follow, instead, let's learn how to THINK about it from simple first principles.

Then, you are armed. Able to make better choices to protect yourself.

This talk is aimed at non-technical users.

How to change the World, independently but also together. A panel discussion with the projects (from the Educators Node Network) that are all teaching from the same open source resources: the Bitcoin Diploma. Project leads will explain how they bring bitcoin education to their local communities.

The phrase "of the people, by the people, for the people" is a well-known quote from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. It encapsulates the idea of a government that is fundamentally rooted in and derives its power from the citizens it governs. What if the governing is managed or even replaced by an open, trustless, transparent and immutable framework that by its design is governed by the individual?

Una mirada a dos años y medio de trabajo construyendo una economía circular de Bitcoin en Berlín. Esta presentación comparte experiencias reales sobre qué funcionó, qué no, y lo que aprendimos sobre las personas, la comunidad y la realidad cotidiana de usar Bitcoin como dinero.

Corporations have a powerful role in scaling Bitcoin beyond grassroots efforts. Bitcoin is often seen as a movement of individuals and communities, but enterprises can also integrate it into payments, supply chains, and daily operations. Jeremy will share how Paystand bridges enterprise adoption with community impact, showing how corporations can align efficiency with inclusion to help Bitcoin reach mass adoption.

Durante siglos, el peso de plata mexicano, acuñado en la Ciudad de México, circuló como moneda de reserva global de facto. Esa primacía se erosionó en el siglo XX por inflación, devaluaciones y choques externos. La sesión traza el paso del estándar global a la inestabilidad moderna y evalúa las condiciones actuales: un peso fuerte pero históricamente frágil, comercio transfronterizo denso, remesas masivas, baja inclusión financiera, altos costos de crédito y marcos regulatorios y fiscales complejos.

Se subraya dónde Bitcoin y Lightning aportan utilidad inmediata: tesorerías corporativas y de inversionistas, y remesas más baratas. Los asistentes saldrán con restricciones, oportunidades y playbooks accionables adaptados a la realidad mexicana. El cierre presenta los planes de Aureo para acelerar la adopción como mecanismo de ahorro y cobertura mediante tecnología y educación focalizada.

This abstract outlines the legal considerations and strategic pathways for individuals and entities seeking to relocate to El Salvador by leveraging the country's Bitcoin-friendly regulatory framework.

Uncover how digital currencies, stablecoins, CBDCs, climate credits and tokenized assets are reshaping the global financial order. Explore the clash of technology, power, and sovereignty in the battle for economic freedom.

En un país marcado por sanciones, restricciones financieras, limitaciones tecnológicas y una economía centralizada, la comunidad cubana ha encontrado en Bitcoin una herramienta de libertad económica. Esta charla explorará cómo, a pesar del entorno más hostil imaginable, se ha desarrollado infraestructura comunitaria, se han creado espacios educativos y se han impulsado proyectos que permiten a miles de cubanos usar Bitcoin en su vida diaria.

Compartiré experiencias directas sobre:

-La construcción de servicios e infraestructura Bitcoin para Cuba.
-Estrategias comunitarias para la adopción, la educación y la soberanía financiera.
-Cómo el ecosistema cubano se conecta con comunidades globales y se sostiene en un entorno de censura y bloqueo.

Más que un relato local, es un ejemplo de cómo Bitcoin florece donde más se necesita.

This is Mauricio from BitcoinLife. I would like to have a share panel with other Bitcoin Tourism companies (as BitcoinTravel, Airbtc, etc) And talk about how bitcon has help with hotels, beach areas, Hospitality, experiences of El Salvador. Also a “Challenges and Opportunities in Tourism with Bitcoin” theme would be a strong angle for your panel, because it shows balance and credibility (not just success stories)

I think a lot of bitcoiners of all around the world has come to see whats going on in El Salvador and visiting is creating a positive impact with the economy, also a lot of companies has established here with the help of the 15 years tax free proposal from the Goverment.

Slip Bitcoin into the lives of normies without lectures or evangelism. This panel explores the art of low-key orange-pilling... quietly placing real value in everyday hands through subtle tools, gifts, and systems, so adoption happens before anyone notices.

"Bitcoin is a distributed secure timestamp server for transactions. A few lines of code could create a transaction with an extra hash in it of anything that needs to be timestamped. I should add a command to timestamp a file that way." Satoshi Nakamoto

Bitcoin is already protecting election records in Guatemala and the USA. Who will be the first country to protect all their government records with Bitcoin? Whoever leads will be forever known as the first country with an Immutable History!

Bitcoin awakens and reveals the architecture of consciousness and why there is purpose in life. From inner awareness to purposeful action to collective civilization, it is one continuous thread; our authentic pattern meeting the world and shaping the structures we inhabit together in harmony. Movement is imperative because without movement there is no perception, no change, no form; action is the way consciousness enters reality. This is a 20–25 minute talk weaving psychology, praxeology, resonance, and Bitcoin with the principle of movement as fundamental reality.

So far, Bitcoin adoption in the global supply chain is minimal, at best. This may be about to change.

Esta presentación abordará la evolución histórica del dinero, desde sus primeras formas hasta la aparición del sistema monetario actual, analizando los problemas y limitaciones que cada etapa presentó. Se explorará cómo esas deficiencias sentaron las bases para la creación de Bitcoin como una innovación que redefine la manera en que percibimos y utilizamos el dinero.
Finalmente, se realizará un análisis comparativo entre el sistema fiat y Bitcoin, destacando sus fortalezas, debilidades y el impacto que tienen en la vida de las personas y en la economía global.

With the advent of Bitcoin, Nostr, Open Source Software, and AI, we are seeing the beginnings of a revolution in the very foundations of how we think about technology. What Bitcoin did to money, Nostr is doing to data. The world now has a system of communication that is decentralized, portable, and backed by public key cryptography, that enables anyone to create a secure internet identity that they control, which they can use to communicate both publicly and privately.

And as we watch the rise of AI coding LLMs, which multiply the speed of software development and make it accessible to non-experts, we can see that the next wave of open source software builders is here. WE are the creators now. What will you build that helps shape our future for the better?

Durante más de 16 años he enseñado finanzas personales en medios radiales, transmitiendo un mensaje claro: no basta con controlar los gastos o evitar deudas; es indispensable ahorrar e invertir para alcanzar bienestar. Sin embargo, para miles de personas con recursos limitados, la palabra “invertir” ha sido históricamente inaccesible… hasta ahora. Bitcoin surge como una alternativa real para proteger el poder adquisitivo y brindar la oportunidad de participar en la economía global. Esta realidad me llevó a llevar este mensaje a lugares donde pocos en Latinoamérica habían intentado antes: la radio y la televisión. Estoy convencido de que, aunque estos medios no siempre sean fáciles de acceder, son los más efectivos para generar la credibilidad necesaria y despertar el interés de quienes saben poco o nada sobre Bitcoin.

We'll explain how silent payments work while keeping it as simple as possible.

It’s been 15 years since Bitcoin came in to existence, but the world is still completely unprepared for it. That includes Bitcoiners.

La presentación aborda el protocolo de tokenización de RWAs sobre la red de Bitcoin, conocido como Taproot Assets, y explora cómo esta tecnología puede actuar como un catalizador de crecimiento para las PYMEs/Startups en mercados emergentes y en desarrollo, especialmente en Latam, región en donde hay una brecha superior a un trillón de USD en cuanto a acceso a financiamiento y capital para las PYMEs, lo que limita su capacidad de escalar y aportar al desarrollo económico de la región.

Want to figure out wtf is going on, but without all the screaming? We'll calmly cover the technical issues at the root of this contentious topic, tailored to Bitcoiners who aren't necessarily super technical.

Valentin Popescu - cofundador Motiv Peru & Jhonny Delgado - embajador Motiv Peru presentaran a la audiencia el avanze de Motiv Peru en 2025 en las 3 regiones del pais con la idea de motivar la audiencia para en avanze de la adopcion del bitcoin en las comunidades.

Panelists will discuss their intentional Bitcoin community real estate development projects aimed at protecting El Salvador’s heritage, regenerating the soil, healing decades of trauma, and building integrated communities of local Salvadorans and Bitcoiners from around the world.

Ask a room of bitcoiners about accounting, and the answer is usually tax compliance. This fireside chat turns the focus to the bigger—and more exciting—challenge: running businesses and personal finances where bitcoin is the true measure of value. As payment rails mature and bitcoin adoption accelerates, our accounting needs are changing fast. Panelists will discuss the practical, yet complex puzzle of accounting for bitcoin and brainstorm the future of bitcoin-native standards and tools through a Q&A of the panel members and the audience. The aim is to launch a wider conversation and new collaborations, making accounting a dynamic driver of adoption.

El taller "BTCPay Server para PyMES" ofrece una inmersión práctica en el uso de BTCPay Server, una solución de código abierto para que las pequeñas y medianas empresas integren pagos en Bitcoin de manera segura y autónoma. Diseñado para emprendedores y negocios que buscan adoptar Bitcoin sin intermediarios, este taller explora cómo implementar esta herramienta poderosa, optimizando costos y fortaleciendo la independencia financiera en un mundo digital en evolución.

After we learn about bitcoin- we listen to enough podcasts and read enough books- the question becomes, "How can I do more to allocate my time and energy into this new system?" In this talk I will share a few lessons and themes I've found in my own quest to answer this question.

La IslaBTC es una comunidad que surge como parte del programa educativo de Cuba Bitcoin y nos hemos enfocado en la educación de solo Bitcoin y en la intención de crear una economía circular para el desarrollo local teniendo en cuenta la gran inflación, el pobre acceso a los mercados internacionales por diferentes razones además del control establecido mediante las CBDC en nuestro país. A pesar de que estos factores deberían ser catalizadores para la adopción de Bitcoin, no ha sido así. Más bien hemos encontrado una fuerte resistencia a la educación y la adopción, Las causas fundamentales han pasado desde la ¨legalidad" del uso de Bitcoin en los negocios, los sistemas Ponzis que han hecho tanto daño aquí como en muchos países de LATAM, la situación de acceso a internet, ya no tanto por la latencia de la conectividad sino por la limitación de los planes de conexión. Pero hemos tenido algunos logros como la realización varios cursos y la adopción de Bitcoin de algunos negocios.

In 2023, I stood here in El Salvador and talked about "Practical Merchant Adoption".
Now I'm the CTO of a company focused on exactly that. What lessons have I learned since then, and how can we all now work together to accelerate merchant adoption everywhere?

El sistema de administración de libertad único y descentralizado (SALUD) es una estructura o marco digital de salud, diseñado para transformar y revolucionar la accesibilidad y la administración de la atención médica en El Salvador. Esta iniciativa busca ayudar a brindar servicios de salud equitativos a millones de ciudadanos desatendidos mediante tecnología de código abierto, gestión descentralizada de datos e integración con los estándares de salud globales.

As Bitcoin challenges the foundations of traditional finance, compliance must evolve to meet a decentralized reality. This panel brings together experts in regulation, legal frameworks, and fintech to unpack what “compliance” truly means in the Bitcoin era.

Around September 2024, Cubby was laid off by a Bitcoin(ish) company and has been building independent and decentralized AI for the last 12 months as a solo founder. A few products are in alpha state (expect bugs!) but several are live.

This is partially a workshop, but mostly an introduction to what Colon Hyphen bracket, CHB or :-], is building toward. We believe in self-custodied data, models, pre-processors, post-processors, and a more free and open internet. In order to achieve this, AI must help humans curate quality. Without equal access to information, humanity is doomed.

Topics:

:-: Build IN El Salvador, not FOR
:-: Compute economics of running a scaled AI business
:-: Sly, roundabout ways: how AI can orange-pill billions
:-: Data ownership & counterparty risk
:-: High level introduction to Pipes, a protocol-level upgrade to the way you use the internet & information
:-: Opportunities to get involved, maybe a quick demo

La charla critica el Panóptico Educacional, un dispositivo de control que busca generar una sociedad dócil y homogeneizar el pensamiento desde el siglo XVIII.
Bitcoin es el antídoto descentralizado, una filosofía de libertad que nos invita a la autonomía y a "atrevernos a saber" para emanciparnos.
Las Comunidades Bitcoiners son el espacio informal de confianza peer-to-peer donde se construye la Soberanía del Conocimiento.

El taller propone una experiencia integral, combinando introducción práctica y conceptual. Los participantes crearán su propia cuenta en Nostr, configurarán una billetera Lightning y aprenderán a enviar y recibir zaps. El objetivo es que comprendan el funcionamiento del protocolo, desde su uso cotidiano hasta su arquitectura técnica.

Since 2017, May and Hugo are focus on Lightning Network and are building tools that will facilitate Bitcoin Adoption.

They recently launched the World First Bitcoin Post Office: www.BitcoinPostOffice.com

In today session, we will teach you how www.BitcoinPostOffice.com can help you send letters via regular courier.

This will give you a more easy, more convenient and more private way to deal with courier.

Together, we will see how to mail a letter with Bitcoin without papers, printer, stamp and envelope and without having to drive to a post office!

During this guided workshop session you can build your own open-source hardware/software BTClock (see btclock.store and git.btclock.dev).

1. Introducción: El Salvador ante los ojos del mundo
   El Salvador captó la atención del mundo al convertirse en la primera nación en

   aprendido realmente de ser pioneros y cómo podemos convertir esta
   experiencia en un modelo sostenible de inclusión digital?

Diego de Sola, co-founder of Glasswing International, will share how Bitcoin can catalyze educational and employment opportunities for youth across Latin America. For 17 years, Glasswing has implemented community-based programs that equip young people to thrive despite challenging environments. As technological change accelerates, preparing youth to navigate and shape this future is critical. Diego will show how integrating Bitcoin education into local programs helps youth build digital competencies, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills—key for emerging jobs. He will also present results from a recent financial education course that paired core money-management skills with a hands-on introduction to Bitcoin (savings, basic security, and Lightning), showing measurable gains in students’ motivation to learn, innovate, and pursue entrepreneurship. This talk offers a perspective from the field: how Bitcoin can empower youth and strengthen communities from the ground up.

A fun chat about the presented video content, followed by a creative workshop where kids design their very own "Bicotin Buddy" cartoon in groups.

Mi punto es: si la vida no tiene un guion, si no existe un manual universal, entonces puedo simplemente hacer cosas — puedo simplemente actuar. No necesito permiso ni aprobación. Eso conecta directamente con Bitcoin, porque el sistema fiat es la forma más pura de lo absurdo: impresión infinita de dinero, economías infladas, millones trabajando sin poder sostenerse. Bitcoin, que antes fue tachado de disparate, se reveló como la respuesta más racional: un código inmutable frente al poder arbitrario.
El Salvador lo entendió y actuó: una nación pequeña, subestimada, que simplemente dijo “lo haremos” — y lo hizo. Mientras el mundo lo llamaba locura, El Salvador eligió la rebelión, y en ese acto absurdo se convirtió en pionero. Max Keiser y Stacy Herbert amplificaron esto a nivel global, mostrando que la libertad no consiste en pedir permiso, sino en actuar. Y eso es, al mismo tiempo, absurdo y liberador.

Bitcoin’s momentum is unstoppable, yet payments are just the beginning. Let’s have an honest conversation about the unsolved challenges in accounting for bitcoin. Why aren’t more people thinking about this? How do we make privacy, sovereignty, and compliance work together as we design accounting for bitcoin-first businesses and individuals? This session shares lessons from building BitBooks and Bitcoin Connector from scratch, and tries to spark the collaboration needed across open source, business, and community. We’ll clarify why the usual focus on cost-basis for capital gains tax reporting misses the real opportunities and challenges for managing finances on a bitcoin standard.

We'll analyze how P2QRH removes public key exposure while preserving Bitcoin's functionality, why this approach provides crucial protection before full post-quantum signatures arrive, and the implementation path forward.

Why are women interested in money but not in owning Bitcoin? Why aren’t women in Bitcoin? Why are women interested in money but not owning Bitcoin?
