“Imagine if your memories could be edited.” nostr:nprofile1qqsgafy9ye4j9p2x8vfmlq6equtpcg4m8ks7v545g0d3f7wwueeq5scdfkasv of nostr:nprofile1qqs8msutuusu385l6wpdzf2473d2zlh750yfayfseqwryr6mfazqvmgk5rncz asked how AI could reshape thought itself, at Bitcoin Park’s recent Imagine IF Summit. Because AI can already nudge what you see and how you feel, the idea of impacting our very thoughts creates what he calls subconscious censorship. Marks warns this could come for freedom of thought itself. His answer: open systems, verifiable code, and sunlight as disinfectant.

Bitcoin works because its supply cannot change. Everything else flows from that. At Imagine IF, Rapha Zagury explained to Parker Lewis, what it was like growing up in Brazil and watching grocery prices rise throughout the day. When you live through that, you understand why predictable money matters. Proof of work transforms electricity into certainty and sustainability.

Sean Bill didn't mince words. He's looking to help nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2 create the Berkshire Hathaway of Bitcoin by managing an active treasury and helping find efficiencies in the market to increase their Bitcoin treasury.

On the Imagine IF stage, nostr:nprofile1qqsfccf03dms7r3l6dwd4s4u2l7waptpu4s9qn4ztj9ealuwqdgjk0scw5mj7 a simple challenge: Just try accessing a permissionless, censorship-resistant network that has no borders… You won’t go back. He likened Bitcoin to having children: pre-experience fears are real, but the post-experience perspective is richer and truer. Yes, disruptive tech carries risks, just like cars did too. But fear, tribalism, and politicization blind us to what new technologies unlock in human flourishing. Watch the full Imagine IF We Didn't Fear Innovation keynote:

The real question: how do you avoid a single point of failure? Most businesses only think of Bitcoin custody as “cold vs. hot.” Collaborative custody and distributed keys make sure no one person, device, or company can put all your Bitcoin at risk. At CTS25, nostr:nprofile1qqsx7dgy0jhhgvhup26552876myzu76cyv9lnqczhuvr2rlhrcgyxzste832k discusses the various approaches around institutional custody with nostr:nprofile1qqs22dz5t7glgxw879r6xklq5k8dta9jn2ndkkjwrcafpqkgp45tmjg3xn7hu and nostr:nprofile1qqs93lfkaetywpwqkqteju07cr23hns9gt0m7l65d8n66ecfe7lh84syz8q5w Read our full custody whitepaper: https://bitcoinpark.com/custody-whitepaper Stay informed on all things freedom tech—register for our daily email at https://bitcoinpark.com/opdaily

The internet made us more connected—and less free. Our lives moved online. Our freedom didn’t. At Bitcoin Park’s Imagine IF, nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52 argued that the only way to fix it is to make freedom profitable. Because open protocols don’t scale on donations. They scale on alignment. https://blossom.primal.net/4f41b70c509c6212f779f996f059cad21b2b8831848c7222b4fc439482563aeb.mp4

Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold. It’s becoming working capital: collateral for loans, liquidity in Lightning, and a new frontier for financial services. But where the "yield" actually comes from needs to be understood in order to properly assess the risk of lending Bitcoin. This panel from CTS25, featuring nostr:nprofile1qqsv0mdxvznteqns2v8g9d98wy4vm63wx8wq54hcmj244sqfalvhepsz9slqw, nostr:nprofile1qqs0zltclduzn5agaga6fjgrxh44g8wp0fnq23rccwh00vacup0karqq0c97k, nostr:nprofile1qqsr8d5dgmnfurlpgh82cyh7c0892trpl9e0xj8p856rlau4d7t65mqrw540e, and nostr:nprofile1qqsrjxqeute0zwusetrjp9qeadt5aa7q686wsxr8lsjvg73uuh52yjqt2yvlj some of those strategies and how to proceed with caution.

“We need to stop wasting our waste.” nostr:nprofile1qqsq87lh6t4wx9e85snh80v4lhskefmwdagnjf3z4amwgu699yjx0asvs5szs is on the frontier of the emergent grid → connecting compute to renewable energy where it’s abundant. In rural communities across Africa, energy doesn’t just power homes, it fuels productivity, education, and healthcare. But too often, excess renewable energy goes to waste. At Imagine IF he gave this impactful keynote on the 2 sides of the same coin, and how Bitcoin mining is the solution to the next wave of human productivity and flourishing. https://blossom.primal.net/609cc31dd8746b18ddc715a1f5decb79218bb2bf44252da2de76183366e40980.mp4

“Not your keys, not your coins.” Self-custody means trade-offs—but it’s the only way to truly own Bitcoin. Individuals: use hardware wallets + backups. Institutions: multisig + proof of reserves. No keys, no control. nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52 and nostr:nprofile1qqsqyredyxhqn0e4ln0mvh0v79rchpr0taeg4vcvt64te4kssx5pc0smkyggq discuss the endgame of defending the free and open network of Bitcoin by securing your own custody at CTS25.

When you hold Bitcoin, you’re holding something unlike anything else. It isn’t a bank account balance. It isn’t a stock certificate. It’s a digital bearer asset. It lives everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Trey Sellers, Frank Hinek, and John Arnold broke down the ins and outs of multi-signature custody at CTS25. Watch their full panel below.

“The best deterrent to confiscation is distribution.” Just as the Second Amendment empowers citizens by distributing arms, Bitcoin custody is strongest when keys are widely held. The more individuals and institutions that take real responsibility for their keys, the harder it becomes for any government or central authority to coerce control. nostr:nprofile1qqsg2zqd8wkhpnxu6lm5c2dyfa2mhpwte57apjae2ldp6g2mmwf3ypqce0wa2, nostr:nprofile1qqs8dzjwlrgdzltmgmmzg50l3jpr3hxv357hj03rjut5jsfm5ugtv9gn0vuws, and nostr:nprofile1qqsf272yfpfzyypcmjarg5fz27mx58rwt0d5xwdk09yzd4qzfvlye6guv4mtx the Tradeoffs of Control at CTS25 and how the tail risks of bitcoin are impacted by the strategic choices of custody deployed and who ultimate holds the key to sign transactions. https://blossom.primal.net/44dd28c912d7755b10ea5af38b20fc064b659c4f139e217ac6018c0dc09c0cbb.mp4

“Not your keys, not your coins.” At the inaugural Custody & Treasury Summit at Bitcoin Park, we introduced our first Bitcoin Park White Paper, digging deep into one of Bitcoin’s most existential questions: who signs? From single-sig to multi-sig to custodial solutions, custody is the gateway to Bitcoin for the next wave of adopters, and the future will likely see hybrid solutions creating an bigger tent for the next 100M Bitcoiners.

The internet was once hailed as the great equalizer, a borderless public square where every voice could be heard. But today, speech flows through walled gardens, monitored by algorithms, and throttled by unseen gatekeepers. Mass surveillance, platform lock-in, and corporate censorship have transformed conversation into something fragile and conditional. If Bitcoin gave us financial sovereignty, what would it take to achieve the same for communication? At ImagineIF, nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52 joins nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfq9q9kky and nostr:nprofile1qqsv0mdxvznteqns2v8g9d98wy4vm63wx8wq54hcmj244sqfalvhepsz9slqw to chart the blueprint for a censorship-proof communication layer. Together, they reveal how individuals can own their digital identity, move seamlessly across apps, and engage without intermediaries.
