Finding Bitcoin meetups and conferences shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt. 😖 That’s what @Jason Hodlers 🪢/BIP-110 and @jordi concluded after their panel discussion with Kim from @npub1qv02...ujnc & @npub1475n...3gh5 at @My First Bitcoin's latest Bitcoin Educators Unconference. Wanna find out their discoveries? 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵 👇 The most actionable result of this discussion was the need for an easily accessible directory of Bitcoin events worldwide. After scouring the internet for events in the #Bitcoin and #nomad spaces, and gathering feedback from many event organizers, @Jason Hodlers 🪢/BIP-110 & @jordi made that directory a reality. If you’re looking to connect in-person with other Bitcoiners, then 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 this thread, because 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥. 🤩 It’s still a work in progress, but it already includes 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀! 🤯 Here’s a sneak peek: 👀 BTCEventsMap.com 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 1️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁: A detailed list of events, organized by name, city, country, date and more.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲? 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻. 📚 13 years in a system that prioritizes conformity over creativity and test scores over life skills leads to students graduating without the critical thinking or curiosity needed to succeed in life. But there’s a better way: 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨. Here are 𝟱 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 homeschooling transforms education—and childhood itself. 👇 1️⃣ 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Homeschoolers 𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦 academically—and the data proves it. On standardized tests, they score 15-30% higher on average. And this success isn’t tied to family income or parents’ education levels—it’s across the board. Homeschooling works because it’s 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥. Instead of rigid schedules and cookie-cutter lessons, kids learn at their own pace, driven by curiosity and passion. 2️⃣ 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 “𝘞𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘸𝘬𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥?” is the biggest homeschooling myth—and it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Homeschoolers aren’t confined to classrooms, so they experience a wider range of social interactions. They join sports teams, community groups, co-ops, and clubs. Kids who are homeschooled socialize with people of 𝘢𝘭𝘭 ages, not just other kids their own age, helping them grow into empathetic, confident, and effective communicators. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺. 🌍 3️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 Homeschoolers don’t just get into college—they 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 there. Studies show 66.7% of homeschoolers graduate from college, compared to 57.5% of traditionally schooled students. Universities seek them out for their independence, creativity, and critical thinking abilities. Homeschooling prepares kids not just for rigorous academics, but for life’s challenges. That’s why so many homeschoolers excel in and beyond college. 🎓 4️⃣ 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 & 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 Schools outside the home can be stressful—𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴. Bullying, peer pressure, violence, and academic stress take a serious toll on mental health. This usually goes unseen and untreated, leading to additional problems in adult life. But homeschooling offers a sanctuary: a safe, nurturing space where kids can grow emotionally and intellectually, setting them up for a lifetime of confidence and success. Homeschooled children report higher self-esteem, lower anxiety, and greater happiness. A peaceful environment makes 𝘢𝘭𝘭 the difference. ❤️ 5️⃣ 𝗡𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 You don’t need to be a certified teacher to homeschool. With ready-made curricula, free online resources, and local co-ops, every tool you need is at your fingertips. Studies show that success in homeschooling doesn’t depend on the parents’ education levels, but on 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦. If you care about your child, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀. Homeschooling is all about 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦, not credentials. 😎 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲—𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 🚀 It’s a chance to prioritize what really matters: learning, growth, and happiness.

Together, we can give every family access to this level of sovereignty. 🌟

𝟭𝟲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the Genesis Block, and Bitcoin was born! 🎉 But the most interesting part about this is what Satoshi did 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 the scenes, and its implications for every sovereign individual. Here are 𝟰 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 we can learn from the Genesis Block about personal sovereignty 🧵👇 1️⃣ This message is permanently embedded within the Genesis Block: “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 03/𝘑𝘢𝘯/2009 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴.” Why did Satoshi add this? It linked the digital and physical worlds together, thus serving as proof of the moment in time when the block was found. Satoshi couldn’t have known ahead of time what the headline of the London Times would have been, so 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗶 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆, without any premine. 📰 2️⃣ If you run your own node, you can verify the Genesis Block yourself. Running your own node is the ultimate form of sovereignty for Bitcoiners: - 𝘠𝘰𝘶 run the code. - 𝘠𝘰𝘶 decide what Bitcoin is. - 𝘠𝘰𝘶 verify the honesty and integrity of every Bitcoin transaction. 𝗦𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. If you don’t run your own node, then you are necessarily trusting someone else. So don’t trust—verify. 🖥️ @npub126nt...e9ll 3️⃣ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁? Think of Bitcoin blocks as a series of “nesting dolls”, with each one inside the next. The hash of each block is contained in the block that follows it, so the Genesis Block now has 877659 additional blocks protecting it. To undo the first block, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 the blocks after it would need to be found again, expending all that energy before the rest of the world further secures it with another block. Every Bitcoin transaction—including yours—becomes more irreversible as new blocks are mined. This immutability is fundamental to your personal sovereignty, since it means that no one can change what 𝘺𝘰𝘶 have chosen to do with the product of 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 labor. ⛓️ 4️⃣ Today is also celebrated as “Proof of Keys Day,” an idea proposed by Trace Mayer to promote sovereignty among Bitcoiners. If you haven’t already done so, withdraw your Bitcoin from exchanges to ensure your ownership, so custodians can’t claim they hold more coins than they actually do. By holding your keys, you also eliminate the risk of losing your funds due to exchange hacks, fraud, or insolvency. This will require greater responsibility on your part, but the result is greater freedom. If you don’t control your own keys yet, make today the day. Invest in a hardware wallet, engrave your seed phrase in steel or titanium, and take full ownership of your wealth. As sovereign individuals like to say: “𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘴, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘴.” 🔑 (Caution: Do NOT use this seed phrase!) So today, on Bitcoin's 16th birthday, remember what the Genesis Block stands for: 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Run a node. Hold your keys. 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. Bitcoin is a blueprint for freedom, but it’s up to you to do the work to earn it. Start now. Become sovereign with Bitcoin. 🎂

2024 is almost over! And what a year it has been! 📅 Until we look back, it's easy to forget just how far we've come in so short a time. Here are the 5 most pivotal events in the Bitcoin space during 2024, and how they changed Bitcoin's future forever: 👇 1️⃣ On 𝟭𝟭 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆, the first U.S. Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) were approved For the first time, mainstream investors could add Bitcoin to their portfolios through the same platforms they use for stocks and bonds. No wallets, private keys, or exchanges—𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘺. 🖱️ Sure, this isn’t the sovereign individual approach to stacking sats, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? The result has been a tidal wave of institutional demand, and more FOMO from retail buyers. 🌊 But the most important part isn't the price; it's the fall of the next domino on Bitcoin's path to global adoption. 2️⃣ On 𝟭𝟵 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹, Bitcoin's block subsidy halved from 𝟲. 𝟮𝟱 to 𝟯. 𝟭𝟮𝟱 This means that the rate of new bitcoin mined with each block was 𝘤𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧. So instead of about 900 new bitcoin being mined each day, 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝟰𝟱𝟬 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱. Starting at block 840,000, the stock-to-flow ratio—or the ratio of new bitcoin compared to already-existent bitcoin—became roughly twice that of gold, 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧! 🤯 These halvings, which happen every 210,000 blocks—or roughly every 4 years—is how Bitcoin’s supply cap is enforced, and is one of the primary causes of Bitcoin’s 4-year bull/bear cycle. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲 𝟯𝟯 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, and 4 have already come and gone. Each one marks a turning point in Bitcoin's history, when the world’s hardest money hardens even more, and further secures our civilization against an uncertain future. 3️⃣ On 𝟮𝟳 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆, Donald Trump gave a keynote speech at @The Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, TN. This was the first time a former president—who later became President-elect—spoke at a Bitcoin conference...𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵! Donald Trump declared that he will: 🔓 #FreeRoss from prison on day 1 ⚡ Make the U.S. the global hub for Bitcoin mining 👏 Fire Gary Gensler—which, to Trump's surprise, was met with an 𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 of cheers Donald Trump is still falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, so there's still much for him to learn, but the progress he’s making is very promising! Whether you agree with his politics or not, his support of Bitcoin solidified its role on the national and global stage. 🌎 4️⃣ On 𝟱 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, Bitcoin broke $100K for the first time 🚀 After years of waiting, it finally happened. Many Bitcoiners had vowed to keep “laser ray ‘til 100K” on their social media avatars, but now, with that milestone reached, many adopted a new mantra: 𝘓𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 ‘𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 $𝟭𝟬𝟬𝗞? Perhaps it was a combination of Donald Trump’s victory a month prior, the ETFs that were more successful than 𝘢𝘯𝘺 other before them, and of course, Bitcoin’s absolutely limited supply. Or maybe it's just because Bitcoin is an idea whose time has come. For OG hodlers, 100K was more than a nice round number; it represented vindication after years of FUD and criticism, and it caught the attention of many former naysayers. 👀 The FOMO it’s already causing is an important step toward the next bull run, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥. 📈 5️⃣ On 𝟭𝟴 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, El Salvador agreed to the IMF's terms to receive $1.4 billion in aid from them. The catch? 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘢𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴. 😮 It had been compulsory for merchants to accept bitcoin, but this was rarely enforced, so removing it seemed like an acceptable tradeoff for President Bukele. Since 17 November 2022, El Salvador had been buying 1 bitcoin each day, regardless of the price. But on the 19 December of this year, and again on the 21st, President Bukele used the funds from the IMF to buy 𝟭𝟭 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 bitcoin! 🤯 What would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 do if you suddenly received a large sum of fiat? Hopefully, you’d buy bitcoin. 😉 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻! 📈 History will doubtlessly record it as the year when nation-states entered the sat-stacking race, and adoption began to change from "𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺" to "𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺" (H/T @npub1w69y...zltw ). Remember to 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲, 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲, and 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 this note, so you can look back on this next year, and see how far we will have come by then! What were some of the highlights in the Bitcoin space for you this past year? What are your predictions for 2025? Let us know in the 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀! 👇
