The road wasn’t easy, but I didn’t pray for that — I carved it up instead. Legs are toast, hips are howling, bunny’s living large. Worth it.

🚨 Calling all NZ Bitcoiners, freedom lovers, builders & organisers 🚨 We’re putting together something special for Aotearoa 🇳🇿 Inspired by the Oslo Freedom Forum, FOSS values, and Bitcoin’s revolutionary ethos — this is more than a conference. It’s a cultural moment grounded in tikanga Māori, open-source values, and sovereign ideas. 🌀 Aotearoa Conference – February 21st, 2026 A small but high-impact event in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), focused on freedom tech, open dialogue, and global collaboration. We’re now forming the core organising team. Current (unconfirmed) list includes legends like: Ben Jarvie, Hank & Dottie, James Isaacs, Willy Woo, Daniel Batten, Kyle Elmer, Bitkiwi, Simon Collins, Brandon Bucher, Nell Hunter, Andrew (@KiwiBitcoinGuide), and more. We need help with: 🛠 Logistics 🎤 Speaker outreach 📣 Comms & media 💻 Tech & AV 💸 Ticketing & sponsorships 👥 Local community engagement 🎟️ VIP experience design If you’re passionate about building something meaningful — even if you’re unsure how you can help — drop a comment, DM me, or signal your interest below 👇 Let’s make this something future generations in Aotearoa will remember. #Bitcoin #Aotearoa #OpenSource #FreedomTech #NZ #OsloFreedomForumInspired
