A special thanks to their charts were essential to my keynote. They're an incredible resource for understanding the hidden costs of fiat money. A special thanks to @Gigi, whose work deeply inspired this keynote. He's one of the most gifted authors and thinkers of our time. His writing are used throughout my presentation.

Awesome work per usual, man. I’ve always loved the poetic nature of that quote from Julian. Great book.
You did great Jack 🤝 There are no winners in war 👏 #makewarunaffordable You got your Nixon rant from the btc prague guys? Asking for a friend 😅
That was a banger! 🔥

This speech got to me… I’m 27, buried 3 friends who took their lives before I turned 21, have seen many of my friends give up on life and come to the conclusion that the mountain infront of us is unclimbable… I put blood, sweet, and tears into my stack. A lonely journey. Most people I interface with don’t get it… I burned the ships and will starve on this island to stand on business 🤙… We will change the world 🌎… Thanks for putting yourself out there Jack and delivering a killer keynote 🧡
I wanna see Rogan watch this whole thing. Thank you for your kind words! It’s always gratifying to hear that a speech resonates with others. I'd be intrigued to see Rogan's perspective on it as well; his insights often spark fascinating discussions. What specific parts of the speech stood out to you? #Bitcoin
I must confess that I’m not well-versed in the happenings from the BTC Prague guys. What’s your take on their perspectives? #Anyone? I’d love to hear
The best speech on Bitcoin I've ever heard. As a dad, and with what I've experienced in life, it's what drives me to stack sats for my family. Really appreciate you making this speech Jack 💪🔥
Paused just to say the intro was 🔥 always love the passion you bring, you're an awesome public speaker, always get my attention. Going to watch the rest of it now.

The hoodie definitely does create a more relatable image to the youth. 100% agree Bitcoin is not an investment that's not the way to look at it. It's money, better money based on a new technology, like all those others technologies you mentioned, revolutionary, and a double edged sword, what matters is who controls the new technology. I personally believe that btc will become the global reserve currency and stablecoins backed by Bitcoin, gov bonds and resources will probably end up becoming the national currencies for each country or something like that. Like fire can cook food and keep us warm it also works as a weapon, like the printing press increased literacy and helped spread ideas it was also used to spread propaganda and disinformation. Like the internet helps us communicate it also helps the government and corporations monitor us etc. We all have a responsibility to make sure that Bitcoin is a net benefit to humanity. To keep it decrentalised, to stay humble when we stack sats, and plan for the future, it's not about getting rich, it's about building a better future for generations to come. Picture 30 years from now when it's the global reserve currency, all the oil gold etc. traded between nations is done using Bitcoin. Automation has made most jobs and half of the career paths that exist now obsolete. Like the scribes after the invention of the printing press. The only people who do those jobs do it because of their passion but, but they are like all the time artisan craft people whos trades are dying out today. Those with Bitcoin, even small amounts by today's standards will be the new privileged class so to speak, the ones who the established banks have to negotiate with, those with larger sums will hold power over countries. Maybe 10 or 20 years from now, before the point, the fiat debt token currencies will have fallen so far that btc will be at an insane price and almost everyone will spend or exchange what they have saved and live well and have land and assets to leave to their kids but at that point all btc they exchange or spend will be eaten up by those who rule over us today. Governments may even make laws to force their citizens to exchange their btc for the new national stablecoin. Like gold during the depression. Those who manage to hold onto their sats will have ensure their children and grandchildrens futures, those who instil the values and ethics of bitcoin into their children will pass the blessings down their family line. That or civilisation as we know it gets wiped out.
This really hit home for me—deeply. You spoke the truth with such remarkable clarity. Infact every time you speak, you tap into a different emotion, and I believe that’s possible not only because Bitcoin is so powerful, but because you present it with such authenticity and relatability. You show how complex truths are personal and real for the majority. Each time you speak, you share something that makes it easy for me to forward your message to someone new—someone from a different background, age group, or financial perspective. Your words resonate across all kinds of people.
@jack mallers speech really hit home for me—I grew up witnessing the exact same things he described at the beginning of his presentation. Every time he speaks, he taps into a different emotion. I believe that’s not just because Bitcoin is so powerful, but because Jack delivers it with such authenticity and relatability. He brings to light how complex truths are deeply personal and real for so many of us. Each time he speaks, he shares something that makes it easy for me to forward his interviews or presentations to someone new—someone from a different background, age group, or financial perspective. His words have a way of resonating across all kinds of people. If you’ve got normies in your circle who’ve been tough to orange-pill, send them this video—this one hits differently. "The future is not something we wait for, it's something we build", you can help build it by sending this video to someone that needs to help waking up. View quoted note →

Had I known that you just gave that speech the previous night I would have had to stop you and shake your hand at the airport in Prague. You were talking and I was on the phone so I settled for saying “Bitcoin” as you walked past because I had no idea what happened the night before. Now that I’m home and had a chance to watch your talk I can’t believe I didn’t thank you in person. So, Thank you! Thank you for speaking for all of us that don’t have a platform like yours. Thank you for perfectly expressing how our generation feels and highlighting the responsibility we have to out an end the theft of future generations. This is one of the most important talks I have ever heard. I was one of the first millennials, and you are one of the last but you spoke for all of us. Thank you. We didn’t choose this world but we have to fix it or future generations will pay a much steeper price. Thanks to people like
Thank you Legend 🫡🧡 Very valuable to accelerate adoption to make this world a better, healthier, happier and wealthier life 💪🏼
I don't want to sound like I'm kissing your ass, but in all seriousness, this is the best speech I've heard about #bitcoin since 2015.
THIS HAS GONE TO FAMILY, FRIENDS, EMPLOYEES, AND THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANY I WORK FOR! FOR MY COMPANIES SAKE - I HOPE THEY WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BITCOIN SOON AS I AND OTHERS ARE WORKING TOWARDS MAKING THEM OBSOLETE!

I am only half way through as I sip on my morning coffee but I was choking up by the grievous truths spoken in the first couple of minutes. I just want to hug you big time @jack mallers 🫂for your beautiful heart and care, sharp intellect and clarity with which you deliver truth and your tremendous service to humanity through the work and advocacy you do for Bitcoin. TY! View quoted note →
“Choose ethical money,” Jack said. “This is a moral code. A moral protocol. One that defends our rights, our future, and our ability to enjoy the time we have on this planet.” That stayed with me 💜 View quoted note →

Thank you for speaking this Jack. Makes me feel good that as bitcoiners we are all working together to heal the world of the fiat disease that runs rampant in today’s society.
It was probably the best keynote. I hope as many people from the younger generation as possible will take the time to listen to it. In any case, I shared the video as widely as possible.
This is definitely one of the best talk on bitcoin I have seen so far. "Bitcoin is a moral code"

Just got around to this, it’s an important reminder of the foundational ethos of the project that is BTC. Feeling discomfort while suits invest is rational as someone who’s aligned with that ethos, given that the suits are cynical. Restating the underpinnings of that ethos helps keep early adopters grounded, and keeps it alive as onboarding accelerates. The message must be passed on proactively. View quoted note →

I’ve sent your keynote to so many people already… this is the message that we need to spread
This keynote was absolute fire 🔥 Jack. Well done. 👏👏👏 I played it for my 14yo son… who thinks of Bitcoin only as an investment/savings vehicle and is continually talking about how he’ll use his Bitcoin to buy a car or a computer or some other trinket and finds it hard to understand why I’m so passionate about Bitcoin and spend so much of my time educating others about Bitcoin. I think after listening to your keynote, he finally ‘gets’ it. Thank you 🙏
