The past two years of bitcoin conferences I have been at have been bear market conferences. And funnily, the energy was still really high at all of them. Pacific Bitcoin in 2022 occurred literally during the FTX dump to $16k and we were having an amazing time regardless. Bitcoin Atlantis in Madeira has been the closest thing to a conference in a bull market for a while. My single favorite thing at conferences is meeting people from so many countries. Within one example hour I met a woman from Saudi Arabia, a whole group from Bulgaria, someone from Bolivia, someone from Columbia, someone from Spain, and someone from South Africa. A woman from Malaysia really stuck out too and it was a great conversation. There is no other asset that brings out so much hope and unity from people with such different backgrounds and experiences. Open source global money. πŸ«‚

Who will be the next country to adopt a bitcoin standard IYO?
#bitcoin is for everyone, for deniers, skeptics, traders, investors, maximalist πŸ™Œ
Bitcoin doesn't care where you come from, what color you are, what creed you have, as long as you own it, anyone is a member of self-monetary sovereignty.πŸ«‚

Thank you for everything you do. I learned so much from you, and continue doing so. You're one of the speakers I couldn't way hearing, one of the main reasons I'm in Madeira today. I also loved how humble and grounded you are. Kudos from a Bulgarian.

Wish I could have been there, but enjoying the replays! The panel session with @preston was fantastic!
It isn't about how high or low the BTC/USD price is, it is about the people. If I were to visit a bitcoin con, it wouldn't be to get prepped for a bull run or whatevertheheck - but rather to see the atmosphere, talk to people and hear their stories. At least, that is what I think a good conference is all about. Having some damn good fun. =)
We’re not going to see @dotkrueger over here are we? We’re with you Lyn. F that guy.

Watched the Atlantis keynotes and discussion panels on YT. Brilliant. Crazy that there are 160 different currencies in the world today ..... and they are all declining against the one and only.

Enough with the platitudes. Or have you run out of stuff to say? You are not a celebrity, don’t try to sound like one.
