Bitcoin Magazine newbie in January, then the insider come December-Buckle up! I’m Jenna Montgomery. Going from zero to crypto-conference hero (well, sort of) happened faster than you can say “blockchain.” Forget the articles and TikToks-this time, the curtain goes up for me. Join me as I wrestle through the glittering, somewhat overwhelming yet totally fascinating world of Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas-a fresh intern tossed in the deep, armed with a press pass and a million questions. This is Bitcoin as seen through fresh eyes.
F-O-R-G-E-T FOMO! Let me lift the curtain on Bitcoin 2025 for you, and why missing out on this will definitely be a missed opportunity. This is not just a basic review; it is a stripped-down, gritty telling of how three days transformed my worldview-and why I think they should do the same for you. Consider this a nourishing little Olympic snack for all the energy, the insight, and the magnitude of transformation that a really good Bitcoin conference-style injection can provide to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Maybe, just maybe, this little taste-will-whet-your-enthusiasm-that-may-just-change-your-life.
Jet lag hadn’t even caught me when I flew away from the hotel, suitcase abandoned. I could sense the very air from within the convention center: the pre-show electricity accounted for a hive of last-minute prep. My soul jumped into the expo hall, feeling the spirit of a gargantuan playground. I almost heard the thunderous crowd with whom I could be putting up connections, finally having my reputed mentors, and greedily embracing their hands.
The Nakamoto Stage. The name itself was enough to ignite the imagination, yet the reality was humbling. Climbing into that gigantic upper hall felt much like entering a cathedral in the cyberspace. With barely a heartbeat away from the sacral echoes of voices from several Bitcoin-wielding enthusiasts, I comprehended. This wasn’t Bitcoin 2025 anymore; it was a living ecosystem. It provided fertile ground for connections and helped spawn innumerable possibilities.
The conference unveiled itself over three very particular acts: Industry Day, General Admission Day 1, and General Admission Day 2. The Industry Day witnessed concentrated energy from professionals, investors, and founders the very architects of Bitcoin businesses. However, the General Admission days emitted a wallop of excitement from the convention center that, quite literally, spoke to each casual Bitcoiner there.
INDUSTRY DAY
The doors opened on Industry Day, and I stepped into a roaring kaleidoscope of activity. Before me stretched an ocean of exhibitors, a vibrant ecosystem of companies building their displays. Tables became mini kingdoms, booths grew into interactive worlds and a rock climbing wall – yes, a rock climbing wall provided by CleanSpark – challenged attendees to test new heights. The expo floor, with the carpets dyed in tangerine color, seemed endless, and the bright orange carpet enticingly wove its path through the rest of the venue-a yellow brick road leading to the treasure trove of innovation.

My jaw dropped. A gigantic UFO had hung above the expo hall, an eternal testimony to the infinite reach of technology. On its twin sides rested shining Bitcoin-branded Cybertrucks, like horses of the futuristic era. Around them, a thousand faces of booths were alive, one and only one with a robot amidst chatter, its eyes ablaze with digital consciousness. The future had come, and I witnessed its great unveiling in all breathlessness.

The orange carpet was winding through the venue, a weird yellow brick road leading me to…what? I looked back to see the view: a giant inflatable Bitcoin puppet overshadowing the art exhibit. An even more colorful blast of Bitcoin-inspired art awaited me. My jaw literally dropped. Some of these works hit the worth of more than one Bitcoin, that is north of a hundred thousand dollars. I really nailed it then: revolutions need anthems, slogans, and indeed art. I witnessed these artists pouring out their passion into their work, and somewhere I felt it too, this growing conviction that building Bitcoin is not a fashion; it is the future being constructed.
The other way seemed set for me, so were my plans. My desk, where Kubla had cleverly put it in the sanctum where the Bitcoin Magazine editors worked and condensely close to the AV crew, became my war room. From this elevated seat, I commanded a panoramic view of the Nakamoto stage-a seat in the front row as history was being born. My days were melting away somewhere between keynotes, speeches, and panel discussions, all of which were quickly transformed into breaking news for Bitcoin Magazine. Apart from being glued to my keyboard, I was roaming the maze of an expo hall, capturing the pulse of the event in quick TikToks, interviewing attendees meanwhile, and doling out the conference energy to the digital crowd.
The energy that buzzed in the news desk was my favorite vantage at the conference. Each one of these on-air personalities was electrifying; especially Pete Rizzo, who was so charismatic. After Node Nakamoto Stage talks, the cameras would pan to the desk for an analysis made with razor-sharpness on the content of the talks. Watching this analysis happen live, witnessing the production magic happen in real-time, was an absolute thrill.
Industry Day started hot off the grill with Steak n’ Shake and Dan Edwards. He broke through the very first kind of waves by developing Lightning payments for Bitcoin as the first fast-food giant in America to ever accept those payments. A very worthy speech from Edwards more or less competed with—–For instance, the Steak n’ Shake booth was like a pasture of dancing cows that promised a future where Bitcoin marries hamburgers.

Let me tell you: due to Edwards’ presentation, setting Bitcoin as a payment method is going to cut the processing fees in half. For his business, accepting Bitcoin means saving an unbelievable 50% on these fees. This proportion makes you stop and think about everything you have ever known about payment processing. Wake-up call to merchants: are you willing to grow into a future of drastically reduced fees?
The Bitcoin domino might be Steak ‘n Shake. After that speech, one could hardly avoid seeing a cascading series of events unfold. If these people have really understood the crypto opportunity, then all major players will inevitably follow suit after them-one way or another-with respect to time.

There was an electric charge in the atmosphere, but one announcement literally went off-the-shelves: Senator Lummis confirmed the president’s backing of her Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act. No longer whispers; thunderclap. Reverberations ran through the conference, describing a seismic shift: U.S. wasn’t only doling Bitcoin; it was primed to lead it. Amplifying the sentiment was Senator Marsha Blackburn: “Our allies watch. If we lead, they’ll follow. This is about securing our economic future.” Clear was the message: America is determined to set its flag on the summit of Bitcoin.

The day took a pleasing turn when I slipped out for brunch with the Women of Bitcoin. This event, honestly, was more than just a conference for me as a woman navigating this space; it was a beacon. Keynotes and panels all aside, the brunch was theveryhighlight. Picture stepping into a buzzing room full of welcoming faces. Next time you think about going solo, don’t! I felt as if I’d accidentally broken into a group of long-lost friends who were all so happy that I finally showed up. Ladies in Bitcoin, make this brunch a priority!
The brunch, a kaleidoscope of delightful chaos. Picture a ballroom exploding with fluffy orange and pink feather boas, balloons bobbing innocently like happy smiles — that would be me. I flitted around literally intoxicated with laughter and chatter, in the company of some fabulous women. The hall erupted as the showgirls, glittering like living jewels, stormed the stage. With a lot of sequins and very infectious joy, we went crazy applauding. The afternoon was consumed by laughter, stolen glances, and that electric heartbeat in the air.

The ethereal beauty of Bitcoin flitted on imagination’s stage as Lyen Ulbricht, Calli Bailey, and Natalie Brunell joined forces with a 14-year-old wunderkind of Bitcoin evangelism to explain its deepest implications into life.
More of a roar than a mere speech, Lyn Ulbricht produced a thunderous eruption. At the Women of Bitcoin Brunch, the mother of Silk Road’s Ross Ulbricht revealed “Mothers Against Cruel Sentencing: A Hope Born from the Crucible of Her Own Family’s Fight.” Her fiery voice rang out across the room: “Thousands, like Ross, are trapped in the labyrinth of extreme sentences for nonviolent offenses.” This wasn’t just a statement, and it was a call to arms, the promise to give a voice to the voiceless many families.” Henceforth, a heavy emotional aftershock poured into the brunch, etching it as a milestone of a mother’s love and relentless spirit.
Calli Bailey-a veritable force at BTC Inc. (Bitcoin Magazine’s parent company)-ignited a room full of passion at the recent brunch. Seeing her reflect on the growth over the years and her heartfelt connection to the Bitcoin community was profoundly moving. Bailey’s words came from the heart-almost painful in their honesty. Bitcoin and her son, David, are the two major forces driving her life. I left inspired, surrounded by many brilliant and powerful women, all of whom carry with them the knowledge of Bitcoin intricacies, with an inexplicable sense of belonging-an emotion that whispered: finally, home. The energy was electric; an electric current of shared vision and shared unwavering belief.
Oppressive was the afternoon sun just like the heat of unfamiliar wisdom that had begun to simmer within me due to the very morning sessions of the Industry Day. The real sparks were still to come.
The crowd erupted in loud cheering as the explosive announcement was made: Trump Media Group and Truth Social are heavily investing in Bitcoin, with a $2.5 billion treasury. “We’re going all-in on Bitcoin, this is not a passing fad; it’s the bedrock of tomorrow,” said Trump Jr., his voice firm and resolute. Pavlovski agreed as he provided more sustenance to the fire: “The dam has broken. Bitcoin maybe once was a concept, but now it is a strategic imperative.” The message was loud and clear: The digital revolution is here, and Trump’s empire is staking its claim in Bitcoin territory.
Listening to these veteran experts has fortified my belief in Bitcoin. When the likes of Donald Trump Jr. put significant resources into Bitcoin, it forces me, and it should force everyone else, to at least take notice.

On the Nakamoto stage, Hines gave a galvanizing vision to the crowd: “The United States isn’t just playing catch-up; rather, we’re running to becoming the Bitcoin superpower of the world. Now, this is not a red-or-blue issue. It is a financial revolution!” Hines ended his fiery one with an electrifying endorsement: “Bitcoin is the new gold standard, and we’re staking to it!”

Industry Day ended with an exciting bang, giving way for the promethean conference ahead. And now here comes the real mic drop moment: White House officials with calendars stretching an inch thick filled up time to be present. They didn’t just show up-they sent a strong message on Bitcoin’s importance, backed by their insider information. Should the world be paying any less attention than them?
The sunset on Industry Day was never a sign of relaxation but that of strategic recharging. Tomorrow: General Admission Day One. I was targeting JD Vance. The early bird hunts, and I was ready to bag that particular worm.

GENERAL ADMISSION DAY 1
The hour was 4:00 AM Wednesday, as faint daylight was just starting to drift in along the horizon. The shadows of timefold were flying by all in a rush! Before the clock had rung officially opening, Secret Service men were already lurking silently within the corridors: an acknowledgment of the foreboding might be attained from titanic queues snaking away endlessly for miles on end. And my voluntary duty is to tiptoe through the chaos. Stationed inside registration, I would be a human sign able to direct the rush of anticipated over 35,000 Bitcoin enthusiasts. Exhilarating! This tangible breath map of every corner of the world coming to a single point of interest! Faces from all parts of the globe, with their own tales, united for the promise of digital gold.
A sky-high electric charge filled the air in the building; she was here. The excitement ran its course as showtime approached. I was stuck on the live news desk, my fingers suspended over the keyboard, prepared to download every utterance from Vance’s lips at the Nakamoto stage. The story was about to write itself.
Then JD Vance then took the stage and the crowd just roared from the Nakamoto stage.

“A $108,000 Bitcoin and the Vice Presidency. Some might say that it was a good day. I call it the dawn of the revolution.” He cast a sharp glance onto the now listening crowd. “This is not just any conference room, so you better take note. We are not just people; we are power.”
Ambiguous? Bitcoin’s fate in America is a done deal. Vance is not just talking about Bitcoin, he is holding it; he is the first Vice President actually to embrace the digital currency. His message is resounding: “We’re here to build a regulatory framework that lets Bitcoin thrive,” and so begins the new age of cryptocurrencies in America.

“Bitcoin, he thundered, is the digital currency of the American people! We demand respect and not sabotage from our government.” His voice rang with conviction as he said: “We have the ability to change this world with Bitcoin; we can design the future we want!”
The energy after Vance? Imagine a supernova exploding at the center of the exhibition hall, with the Nakamoto Stage as its epicenter. People boogied away at the rhythm while the human tide gently washed around the flashing exhibits. Laughter interrupted the DJ’s beats, sometimes even in rhythm, as rivers and rivers of liquor were poured into thi fancy glassware, alongside gourmet finger food. It was no longer a crowd-it was an organism, a kaleidoscope of human energy marquee fueled by sheer excitement. Indescribable hardly covers it.
Bitcoin has been blazing the trail! General Admission Day One was not just any other day; it was the epic attempt on the Guinness World Record for most Bitcoin & payments processed in a single day. What spurred such frenzy? The Bitcoin Magazine merch truck, selling swag payable over the Lightning Network. Every satoshi that changed hands powered the attempt!
Meanwhile, controversies were brewing in the Nakamoto Arena. Calmly, like none of the things he was saying should ever get shouted about, Ryan Cohen, GameStop’s enigmatic CEO proclaimed, “We currently own 4,710 Bitcoin.” It felt electric as he illuminated the company’s daring move in adopting BTC as a reserve asset, and henceforth, another bold chapter will be written for the gaming giant.
In double down, he continued and insisted GameStop is carving its own path, holding Bitcoin as a core asset and strategic advantage, and entirely free of any shackles imposed by conventional wisdom.

Hold on a minute! NYC Mayor Eric Adams just dropped a crypto bombshell: BitBond, city-backed bitcoin tax payments, and even blockchain-verified birth certificates! My mind? Officially blown. This ain’t just dipping a toe in the crypto pool–it’s a full-blown cannonball. And honestly? I’m grabbing a towel and staking my lounge chair beside the pool. Let’s GO, New York!
Then, it was the time for Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Mike Ho, and Matt Prusak to get on stage and take that crypto-excitement needle further. Eric Trump bellowed his proclamation: “Bitcoin? That’s what everybody wants! The whole world’s buying in.” Matt Prusak insisted on having his say and made the fire stronger: “We’re not just buying; we’re stacking sats like crazy!”

As dusk painted the sky, the Guinness World Record stood just within reach. Victory had once been a remote hope but now had solidified into an undeniable premonition. I felt this surge of adrenaline proclaiming that the victory was definitely ours.
I looked at the screen, and the numbers glared: RECORD BROKEN. More than 4,160 Bitcoin payments went through the network in just eight hours. It was an impact-the seismic trait of an earthquake that, beyond doubt,proved that Bitcoin was not a mere idea-money. Real money, great-speed-of-light money.
BREAKING: THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR MOST #BITCOIN PAYMENTS IN ONE DAY HAS BEEN BROKEN

“Trying for the world record was exciting, but the adrenaline rush was ten times more because it was paid through Bitcoin! Every satoshi was a vote cast in favor of a major achievement. It was thrilling to see the numbers going up with the knowledge of having played a role in it. I was no longer the mere spectator but a record-holder, and crypto made that possible.”
During this time, I was also going around and doing TikTok interviews for Bitcoin Magazine.
The bright glare of the expo hall, coupled with its buzzing energy, drove me straight into the mass of people with my microphone. Inquiring about the audience nutrition for cryptocurrency price predictions was not pure data collection-the heart of all content. Amidst stages with roars, throbbing beats, and exhilarating interludes of making friends, I was going sideways with an onslaught of TikTok interviews this one conference was my ecosystem. I did not feel the belonging seed; I felt joy for the entire climax of that moment. It was electric. It was right.

Referenced at the sunset and the camera showed me away; yet my mind was still churning. I ran back to the news desk to have this deadline considered as secondary to the story buzzing in my head: Saifedean Ammous. Las Vegas was a spectacle; lights nonstop, noise nonstop. But before I could even think about packing my bags, I was deep into The Bitcoin Standard. The book piqued my interest in finance, and after hearing him, some of what is broken with these ideas; Ammous’s message has been etched deeper in my heart. Once these ideas were confined to the page but have since taken on a life of their own.
The real bombshell? Ammous predicted that USDT can appreciate beyond $1 as Bitcoin-backed reserves overtake dollar-backed ones. Suddenly, Bitcoin ceases to be just a hedge and assumes the very keystone of an emerging financial order. His eventual prediction: the ending of the dollar. The conversion of Tether into an asset directly redeemable for BTC. Ammous virtually dared the audience to dream bigger and foresee a future that would come even sooner.
With a freedom-chiming, the grand finale was upon us. We’d crushed the Guinness World Record! My mind was abuzz and flooded with new insights; I was no longer a chrysalis: Something reborn. Behind me, the conference doors were closing just as a brand new day in opportunities was stretching ahead. Gratitude flooded my system; tomorrow could not come fast enough. It was more than luck; this was ignition.
GENERAL ADMISSION DAY 2
Second day of General Admission cracked with promise. Two days in, and I was gliding practically through the teeming crowds, like a seasoned conference veteran. That morning shopping in through the gates, waves of pure anticipation buzzed through me. The conference was already indeed an electric one, crackling with energy, and I was ready to take a head dive into the day.
The day began on a shining note of truth from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce. So, we finally had someone who could mention it in regard to digital assets with her dramatic pause: “We can’t ignore it.” With her usual flair for drama, she gave a wake-up call: “Regulatory uncertainty lets bad actors hide and pushes good actors out. That has to end.”
She has issued a grim warning concerning memecoins: “Chasing billionaire dreams with memecoins? Proceed with extreme caution. It’s time to adult.” On Bitcoin, however, her view was diametrically opposed. “People deserve the freedom to control their wealth,” she said. “Protecting that right is very important.”
Honestly, if I had a jaw, that would have hit the floor upon hearing Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino casually utter the words: Tether owns more than 100,000 Bitcoins. The volcano really erupted when Ardoino said it was “very realistic” to see their mining operation become the world’s biggest Bitcoin miner by the end of the year, outstripping even the biggest publicly listed mining companies.
He imagined the prospect of a future in which AI agents, with non-custodial Bitcoin wallets, could work tirelessly for us. The point that this tries to hammer home is that Bitcoin’s power is vast, leading to a future bursting with innovations still cloaked in secrecy.

Lyn Alden appeared on stage and gave a chilling forecast: she said the brakes were off in the American economy. Forget soft landing or slowdowns. Alden gave an impregnable picture: the fiscal deficit has swollen past 7% of GDP at times of surprisingly low unemployment. And what does this mean for you? Hold on.
“2008: The year the music died. For banks, never: they were bailed out, inflated, and distorted until such a time when the phantom of fiscal responsibility could appear. A solemn note marking the moment in time when public debt sailed past private debt–before government, discreetly, let go off the reins.”
Her words hit me: “Bitcoin is the system’s mirror-and our best shield against it.” That was the seed of a very deep thought inside me and was a great reinforcer to reawaken my passion-the reason for my fight and the impetus behind this digital rebellion. Choosing Bitcoin is not simply choosing something new; collectively, it is about rejecting a world gone astray.

The afternoon air was thick and bristled with anticipation. Behind the anchor desk, Lyn Alden’s recap faded into background murmur behind the steadily crescendoing roar rising from the main stage – a sonic tidal wave about to crash down.
The crowd filled the air with anticipation while Jack Mallers, the visionary CEO of Strike and Twenty One Capital, took the microphone and started the keynote speech. His speech portrayed the last time money really bought something like a decent basket of eggs in 1913. Then, it hit the audience like a bombshell. Strike, Mallers announced, was launching a Bitcoin-backed loan system. No more predatory banks charging 20% interest on crypto-collateralized loans. Strike’s rates were between a revolutionary 9 and 13 percent. The place just buzzed electric with excitement-the financial world was about to undergo another rewrite.
“He painted a picture, Bitcoin’s wild price swings mirroring the early days of Tesla and Apple. Suddenly, it wasn’t chaos, but potential. Where else could you find that kind of disruptive energy, that raw, untamed growth? Bitcoin wasn’t just another asset; it was a revolution in the making.”
The hall gave farewell to his fading voice: “Life is a fleeting adventure. Take the trip. But with Bitcoin? You upgrade to first class.” That was it–the earthquake, the massive shift in perspective, from financial anxiety to liberating possibility–that made me embrace Bitcoin 2025.

The Nakamoto Stage overflowed, the human tide spilling into the expo hall like a breached dam. My pulse quickened. Showtime.
In the crowd, an ominous silence fell: Michael Saylor, the sole power behind Strategy, was about to arise and make his calling. For me, this wasthemoment, a presentation for which I had stayed awake all night for. Saylor possesses a rare gift to distill into crystal-clear concepts the formidable web of Bitcoin. It is not only clarity but also his belief so ferocious and energy so palpable that it flows around and inspires even the most skeptical minds with seed of understanding.
Bitcoin, according to Saylor, has never been a mere financial matter; it has always been symbolic of the possibilities harnessed by humanity. Hearing him clarify that Bitcoin is about empowering a person to make better choices amid the noise breaks through the clutter. It says solutions that lessen the problem need not be complicated; it is heartening to know that others also see this way of working.
ABSOLUTELY PACKED HOUSE FOR MICHAEL SAYLOR’S KEYNOTE

The roar was deafening. As if emerging from a supernova of charisma, Michael Saylor bounded onto the stage, grinning. Then came the 21 Laws of Wealth, turning intricate finance into exquisitely simple verities.
“This isn’t for governments or corporations. Forget Wall Street. This is for you. I have pleaded world leaders, whispered to billionaires, even tried to reason with the ghosts of generations to come about the power of Bitcoin. But this is for the single parent juggling two jobs, the family dreaming of something better, the small business owner struggling to survive. This is for everyone who feels left behind.”
That speech struck a deep chord in me, a student going for excellence. That speech taught a very profound truth: that is absolute wealth beyond money. It is family holding you through it all-who alone can give you that little spark to kindle dreams.
“His unabashed honesty, sharply articulated to cut through the noise, made an unbelievably strong case for Bitcoin- one that threatened to strike a chord deep in me and, I reckoned, many others.”
His tenth point hit like a thunderclap: “Just because youcandoesn’t mean youshould.” He paused. “Think Bitcoin. Ninety percent chances of being successful within five years? Very tempting. So, please, do not consider aspiration for actual achievement. Do forge for yourself a plan-a real strategy-then got follow it for God’s sake.”

A starry-eyed electricity galvanised the air. A low murmur-one that was alive-was rippling through the Bitcoin 2025 crowd, steadily intensifying. Then, the MC dropped the name: “Ross Ulbricht.” The roars erupted. The stage was his.
Ulbricht’s words, raw and resonant, after being silenced behind bars for over a decade, were not merely the mundane talk of a man now free-they were a seismic jolt. The charged-awe feel passed through to the very spirit-was an electric jolt birthed out of a visceral remembrance of those ideals which run like arteries through the movement. I was lying on the floor with my mouth agape.
Bitcoin speaks one language: code. It doesn’t recognize borders, backgrounds, or bank accounts. Bitcoin equally stands with every digital person, shoulder to shoulder toward the cause of true financial freedom.
Ross’s words continue to echo in my mind well after. It was not about tech, price, or whitepaper. It was him, speaking behind bars, about how he was being supported. “When I was silenced, you spoke up,” he said. At that moment, Bitcoin ceased to be run by algorithms and market caps and found a heart-a community standing together, raising their voices in unison, a manifestation of human solidarity.
His cry for unity went out with other voices in loud, urgent harmony thus into a world splitting along rainbow-gapped fault lines of opinion. “Division,” he warned, “is the weapon of those who fear freedom and decentralization.”
Ross’s story is a harsh reminder of what we are upholding: a system beyond the power of any one authority. Bitcoin is more than code; it’s a declaration of freedom from tyranny. An emotional vortex enveloped the room as Ross spoke, a mixture of love and adamant resolve. Witnessing his strength firsthand was an experience that recharged us in our battle toward a world free from censorship and control.

…The exodus now began. Walk-ins started leaving the convention hall, stricken in a pregnant pause by the time it was never intended to hold. Taking away from the once vibrant activity centers, booths were being dismantled almost as if awakening from a dream at dawn. I stood still, witnessing the slow unraveling. It was bittersweet: all that magic which had stirred my passion, all those faces that had brought magic into life, would now be systematically wiped from lands, packed in crates, and sent either for storage…or blatant disposal.
The Cybertrucks were the first to go; the dismantling crews set in, drowning them in an ocean of industry and light dismantling. Next came the decorations, the displays… all went into the whirlwind of well-organized chaos. Disappearing acts have never disappointed me. Seeing that final bit of ray-of-light-stage, Bitcoin 2025 go down, I realized I wasn’t just sold I was mesmerized. I was hooked. There was no turning back. Bitcoin 2025 had me: heart, soul, and body.
The hum of the city waned, replaced by a silence I never knew I craved. Achievement, that rare and potent elixir, coursed through my veins. Ink had left its ghost on my fingertips-an evidence of stories having been told. Laughter from those silly TikToks I had made echoed somewhere, because they were snatches of life to be shared. And the faces, those many faces that I had met, formed a swirl in my memory-a rich tapestry of connectivity. It was a blooming undercurrent of quiet joy within me, a simple and profound “Yes”.
The desert sun rose cold the morning of my departure from Vegas. I was dragged into that flight, plotting my own return. Vegas was a warp in reality, a surge of pure, unadulterated energy. I was strapped in unwillingly with a vow: I would be back. The Bitcoin conference was not merely an event; it was soul gathering. People who cared deeply-about you, about the future. It was an endless night of dancing, uncontrollable laughter, and tearful partings, promises bouncing off the walls: “Same time next year?”
