 Some people have shifted from a community of cypherpunk Bitcoin innovators intent on challenging government authority to a realm shaped by social media influencers, drama queens and zealous backers of figures such as Bukele😑 
 Only a few help build the promised land. The rest just get to show up later and say they did.

 "It's true that the landscape of Bitcoin has evolved significantly. As we navigate this transition from its cypherpunk roots to a broader, more diverse community, it's crucial to stay focused on Bitcoin's core mission: enhancing financial sovereignty and security. At PODCONF, we strive to balance these shifts by fostering a community that values strategic centralization and compliance, without losing sight of Bitcoin's foundational principles. Our aim is to unify and strengthen, not divide, ensuring that Bitcoin's potential is realized fully and responsibly.
