Unit of Account
Charlie Stevens

Every civilization measures value through a common unit. This is it's yardstick. That unit subtly directs human behavior, shaping what we strive to do with our time, attention, how & who we serve, and ultimately who we become.

When the ruler becomes corrupted, the one we measure value with, our priorities decay with it; we work, save, and sacrifice our time for something that is continuously losing its integrity.

Bitcoin restores an incorruptible standard. It re-anchors value in a yardstick that is bound by time, truth, and encourages voluntary exchange.

This talk explores how sound money transforms not just economies, but the moral architecture of civilization itself, allowing individuals to measure truthfully and therefore live truthfully.

Bitcoin Life: Construyendo estilos de vida en el país del Bitcoin (orientado al turismo)
Mauricio Villeda Abdalah, Sandy Waves, Diego Villeda, Charlie Stevens

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.

Unit of Account Fireside Chat
Roark Janis, Charlie Stevens

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.
