I did not know where the road would lead eight years ago, only that something about Bitcoin felt honest and different. image

Our latest Bitcoin Running event sold out all 500 tickets in 12 days 💪🏼 The Bitcoin Trail Run sold out faster than ever! (12 days) We know many of the Thai (96% of registrations) didn’t get a chance to register, especially since most Thai get paid the last day of the month. To give everyone a fair chance, we’re reopening registration back up until noon on December 2nd. 💪🏼

One of our Bitcoin education objectives is to make modern finance accessible to anyone through formal, large-scale sports in our region. In November, we had over 15M impressions with the Bitcoin Marathon. Today’s press release for this next event was a ton of fun. 🙏

While the West fixates on Bitcoin's price swings, 38 community leaders from every corner of Thailand are currently on a collaborative call, strategizing to bolster Bitcoin's foothold across Southeast Asia. The Thai Bitcoin community operates on a whole different level here in the region. image

Thai Bitcoin communities aren't waiting for top-down mandates; they're proactively embedding #Bitcoin literacy into schools, villages, and daily life. This bottom-up model, blending local culture with global expertise sets them apart from more fragmented scenes in Asia, where adoption is high but education often lags behind hype.

Building offline community through sports is powerful because it transforms shared physical effort into trust, unity, and purpose. Sports cut across social and cultural barriers, creating real human connection and lasting memories. They strengthen health, leadership, and volunteer spirit while anchoring online movements in real-world experience. Sporting events visibly showcase teamwork and shared achievement, inspiring others and turning ideas into living, collective action. image

This weekend we hosted an exclusive gathering of Thailand’s leading Bitcoin community leaders and builders, and it went beyond all expectations. The speed at which Thailand evolves will largely be driven by how we empower and support these builders, their voices, and their tools. image

Bitcoin is a human rights tool in many different ways, Bitcoin also gives activists, dissidents, and those under oppression a way to speak, save, and survive when their voices or bank accounts are silenced. image

Bitcoin represents something unique to everyone, a tool of freedom, a path to hope, and a symbol of what’s possible when people take control of their own future. image
