29th August: Bitcoin Asia 2025 | Hong Kong 🇭🇰 I had the privilege of moderating a panel on “The Micro & Macro Forces Accelerating Institutional Bitcoin Adoption” with: Alessio Quaglini (CEO, Hex Trust) Kyu Ho (Chief of Staff, DDC ENTERPRISE LIMITED) The discussion couldn’t be more timely: DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) just crossed a major milestone — 1,008 BTC in its corporate treasury, only 96 days after its first purchase, now ranking 42nd globally among public Bitcoin treasuries. Their bold goal? 10,000 BTC by year-end. We explored how macro forces—from fiat devaluation, rising U.S. money supply, inflationary pressures, and regulatory clarity (like Hong Kong’s Bitcoin ETF approvals and the U.S. GENIUS Act)—are creating fertile ground for institutional demand. On the micro side, we dove into how infrastructure providers like Hex Trust are lowering barriers for corporations by offering institutional-grade custody, execution, and compliance frameworks, enabling companies like DDC Enterprise to confidently integrate Bitcoin into their balance sheets. Looking to the future, Alessio painted a vision of Bitcoin evolving into a standard institutional reserve asset, while Kyu shared how corporations may increasingly use Bitcoin as a core treasury strategy rather than just a hedge. What’s clear is that Bitcoin’s institutional story is no longer speculative. It is accelerating—with real capital, real balance sheets, and real infrastructure behind it.

🚨 Bitcoin Mining 101 | Bangalore 🇮🇳 | July 5, 2025 📍@npub1m495...u22l Bitspace Bangalore Bitcoin is going to be pivotal in the 4th Turning—It is going turn a positive in so many lives not because we are advocating hard but because we as humanity have own grown Fiat Money. Bitcoin doesn’t need to be pushed—it simply reveals itself to those ready. And education is the first touchpoint. And if mining is the foundation, then India—the world’s most populous nation—is where the next chapter begins. Why? Because the appetite is here. The curiosity is here. The numbers are here. At OurPool, we believe that Bitcoin education doesn’t begin with price charts — it begins with sats, watts, and nonce. That’s why we did Bitcoin Mining 101 at @npub1m495...u22l where Sunil Kumar unpacked : 🔹 Bitcoin’s genesis block & Proof-of-Work 🔹 Nonce, timestamp, block templates, mempool, UTXOs 🔹 Live mining demos with BitAxe, Canaan , Braiins 🔹 Payout models (FPPS, PPS, PPLNS), fee dynamics 🔹 Tools like mempool.space, stratum.work 🙌 Huge shoutout to @npub1m495...u22l for orchestrating this powerful event to spark real-world learning. ✅ Next Steps: India can’t afford to watch from the sidelines while neighbors like Bhutan and Pakistan embrace mining. It’s time to tell policymakers, entrepreneurs, and institutions — we’re ready. Also, bitcoin on Corporate Balance Sheets: Where is India’s Strategy? Shoutout to all Indian publicly listed companies: Bitcoin is running out fast. There will only ever be 21 million. Looking up to pioneers like Jetking Infotrain Limited for kickstarting this movement in India. If you’re in India and resonate with this mission — whether you're a miner, educator, policymaker, developer, researcher or investor or simply a Bitcoiner who cares about sovereignty — let’s collaborate. We need Bitcoin maxis across spheres to push this forward.

People often ask me what I like about Singapore — and honestly, it’s hard to choose just one thing. From its iconic skyline and meticulously planned infrastructure to the effortless blend of tradition and modernity, Singapore isn’t just a place to live— it’s a place to thrive. Sharing a few moments from one of my favorite places: National Gallery Singapore a stunning intersection of art, architecture, and history.

Maribor, Slovenia 🇸🇮 | November 8-9: NiceHashX Bitcoin Conference I had the privilege of presenting the keynote “Bitcoin class of 2017” and dropping some major truth bombs! Dove into Bitcoin’s transformational role in global energy security and its path to economic sovereignty, inspired by thinkers like Max Keiser and Jason Lowery, and how its mining network promotes efficient, sustainable energy use. Also highlighted the high standards and fierce principles that unite Bitcoiners but sometimes challenge newcomers—especially when the broader industry throws around misleading labels.   Also touched on Bitcoin’s multifaceted potential—as a store of value, payments network (via Lightning), and “freedom tech”—all essential to fostering economic sovereignty and resilience. And also tried to bust the myth that - if you’re building on Bitcoin today, securing VC funding can feel like climbing Everest in flip-flops. 😅 I got to reconnect with @npub1sn0q...tr2x , @Joe Nakamoto , @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M , @Luke de Wolf and meet incredible people like @Prince Filip, Anja, General Kanobi, Dr. Jan Wüstenfeld, Riccardo Giorgio Frega, Lucas Infeld, Katherine Warec, Gabriel Kozák, Sunil Kumar , Dusan Matuska and Pierre Corbin . It was exhilarating to connect with innovative founders like Maximilian Obwexer (21energy), Ivan Mircetic (Freefall ATM GmbH), Emmanuel Montero and Matteo S. Huge props to Nina Kladnik, Lara Ucakar and the entire NiceHash team for putting together such a stellar event. Maribor was the perfect backdrop. Who said Bitcoin conferences can't be both educational AND entertaining? Not me! #Bitcoin #Mining #EnergySecurity #NicehashX

October 31st to November 3rd: Liberty in Our Lifetime Conference in Prague 🇨🇿 I had the privilege to attend the Liberty in Our Lifetime Conference in Prague, hosted by Free Cities Foundation. It was an inspiring experience to dive deep into new models of governance and communities that prioritize freedom, autonomy, and innovation. Set in Prague’s stunning Empire Hall, the conference brought together over 300 attendees, each passionate about the potential of Free Cities. We dove deep into bold projects like Próspera and Ciudad Morazán in Honduras, Montelibero in Montenegro, Liberstad in Norway, and even the self-governing island of Sark in the Channel Islands. It’s refreshing to see real solutions to modern governance, where people aren't just talking about freedom—they’re living it. Whether it’s diplomatic strategies for self-governing communities, Bitcoin-powered sovereignty, or entrepreneurship as a tool for change, these projects are shaping a new paradigm. It was also an incredible opportunity to connect with Dr. Titus Gebel , CEO of Tipolis and Peter Young, Managing Director of the Free Cities Foundation. I also had great conversation with David Parkinson, CEO of Musqet. And finally got to meet Efrat Fenigson in person! Being part of these discussions and meeting such forward-thinking individuals opened my eyes to the philosophies that drive meaningful, fair-world ideologies—philosophies that eventually inspire technologies like Bitcoin, designed to serve humanity’s best interests. I’m more convinced than ever of the value of actively participating in these conversations. If we’re serious about shaping a fair and free world, gatherings like these are essential. Here’s to a future where we’re all just a bit freer. 🕊️ #LibertyInOurLifetime #FreeCities #Bitcoin #Decentralization #Freedom
