I’m to be heading to Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas next week.
I’ll be talking about the media’s role in covering the Bitcoin industry and the challenges therein.
It’s not easy to report accurately on Bitcoin news. The space has become incredibly complex.
But I also believe journalists that have been writing about Bitcoin for years are becoming more important than ever.
You need only look at FT’s recent documentary on Saylor and Strategy to understand that legacy media do not understand what Bitcoin is and how it works and also have a vested interest in defending the status quo of the legacy financial system.
Let’s change that narrative. Bitcoin is sound money. Let’s get people saving and spending sats and show that Bitcoin is useful beyond measure.

This was one of the big takeaways from Bitcoin Investor Week in NYC.
Lummis said that more time is needed to educate key policy makers before her Bitcoin Act can gain enough support.
Last week I was in NYC to cover Bitcoin Investor Week - which featured some big name investors and US politicians putting their weight behind Bitcoin.
“The rise of the Bitcoin Standard will see companies, institutions and nations look to BTC for fiscal discipline.”
Vivek Ramaswamy gives great perspective on why the fundamentals of Bitcoin will see it become a tool to address global debt issues.
Heading to New York to cover Bitcoin Investor Week.
Lots of people I’m looking forward to meeting for the first time and catching up with a few others.

Probably an unpopular opinion - but we need to get Bitcoiners actively involved in the World Economic Forum 👇👇👇
My experience in Davos this year made it evidently clear that Bitcoin remains misunderstood and undervalued as hard money.
Naturally, it’s also the antithesis of how a globalist institution like the WEF wants the world to operate.
Getting the right people speaking inside the forum is crucial to changing the perception of Bitcoin and informing politicians and heads of industry to change their thinking.

If the United States adopts a Bitcoin strategic reserve, will other nations do the same?
I asked South African president Cyril Ramaphosa this very question during the World Economic Forum in Davos last week.
Unlike Trump, Ramaphosa has no plans to launch a memecoin.
Perhaps more importantly, he says that Bitcoin is becoming a subject that nation states can no longer ignore.
I’d personally love to see my home country 🇿🇦 adopt a Bitcoin standard. It would be a game changer for the value of the Rand and for SA’s treasury reserve.

Honestly I flipping love the advice I’m getting since joining. I thought a knew a lot about Bitcoin but this is on another level ❤️
Cheers bru! Seems I’ve found another Saffa here 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🍻🍻🍻
The US is on the verge of adopting a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
The ‘WHY’ really comes down to
Bitcoin’s duality as peer-to-peer electronic money and digital gold.
In my recent interview withnostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw, he explains how Bitcoin allows people to save for the future while retaining its “ability to be a very low barrier to entry global electronic money.”
“The introduction of Bitcoin in some of those countries, like El Salvador as an example, actually allowed people to leapfrog from paper cash straight to peer-to-peer electronic money without going through the banking trusted intermediary phase,” Back explained in our interview at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
“I think one target for Bitcoin adoption is for it to compete with gold and get somewhere near gold parity as well as its growing usage as electronic money.”
My good friend @JoeNakamoto is probably the biggest proponent of this mentality. He advocates for people to spend sats - but he also understands the inherent value of BTC.
Definitely a topic that will become hotly debated as more people start acquiring Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.
Cheers Joe! Zapped you back bru! Also want to say that you’ve inspired me to do a lot more to focus on Bitcoin. Collectively we’re stronger 🍻
Done and done 👌
Cheers! If we don’t push Bitcoin to places that don’t want to talk about it - the status quo will remain.
Took my time 😅 but very happy to be among like minded individuals
Cheers. It’s about Bitcoin, not ‘blockchain’ or CBDCs. Important to start getting globalists to acknowledge what Bitcoin has become 🤝🏻
