Hi John. Thanks for your comments. We've just confirmed dates. So I will send you a message on Nostra now

Yes, it will exist no matter what we do, and ... when we start telling Bitcoin's story better we will fill the void currently filled by human slop about Bitcoin told by Bitcoin's enemies.

Its time for Bitcoiners to gain sovereignty over the stories told about Bitcoin

40 merchants is great progress!

That’s awesome. Great to hear!

Agreed

Absolutely, our next wave of Bitcoin adoptors cannot be rushed, managed or predicted. They can be encouraged, supported and educated. That's exactly what Bitcoin legend Luke Cortese did on Saturday, and why Bueno Vista, Colorado now has 25 new people who get and use Bitcoin. https://x.com/DSBatten/status/2018760828955107659

A bit of honest introspection about where we are facing some headwinds in bitcoin adoption Optimism is good, but it should be grounded optimism. If you want to win a World Cup, you don’t win it by ignoring your setbacks and weaknesses, you win by analysing these and learning from them. Bitcoin adoption had a few setbacks last year that are seldom acknowledged, let alone analyzed, let alone learned from. This article is an attempt to analyze the video footage of our 2025 institutional game and come up with some suggested improvements for this year. https://x.com/dsbatten/status/2018703888711397779?s=46

When I shared this quote with the Bitcoin leaders group I coach, several people were deeply moved by it. One said she had shared it with all her besties. Another said it the quote is on the desk. Another simply said "And why groups like this are so helpful". This group are onboarding Bitcoin to pension funds, increasing Bitcoin corporate treasury adoption, furthering the integration of Bitcoin mining with AI datacenters and enabling long-term holders to access steady liquidity for living expenses without selling their BTC . They have run and operated multiple successful businesses already. The feeling of the loneliness of leadership is a real thing to all of us who do something pioneering. But, together we're transcending that feeling from being individual nodes, to one connected part of a human network. Bitcoin is a peer to peer network. Who is your peer to peer network?
