 Here's my full main-stage keynote from Nashville

It was spread across two days, so that's why I change halfway through 😂

51 minutes but I worked hard to carefully consider each minute

The talk is packed with lessons and examples that I have learned and seen across my entire career of people using Bitcoin to change the world in the most unlikely of places

I walk through how Bitcoin is a revolution for commerce, freedom, and electric power, citing dozens of examples in each case

This one is for every single person who has ever said Bitcoin is useless, just as much is as it's for every person who is curious about Bitcoin and wants to know more

Most people know that Bitcoin is a great savings technology, which is of course its primary use case, but I don't dwell on that

Here we get into everything else it does

No price talk, all utility

Hope this helps

So grateful for the  @BitcoinMagazine team for giving me this opportunity

Onwards!

 Thank you for sharing the file and not a youtube link.  
 Thank you for helping get Nostr to where it is so I can do stuff like this!! 
 You did a great job up there. I’ve sent this to precoiners already, and i’ll do it again too 
 This and  @Snowden - best main stage talks! 
 Let’s spread it far and wide. 
 how r things @ the college? accepting foreign students?  t-y Troy 
 This should reach social leaders all around the world. There are some, really good hearted, but they still see the world from the current system. They need to understand how Bitcoin can solve the root causes. 
 Altcoin daily changed 2x within 90 minutes when he “moderated” 2 panels. So don’t feel bad 
 Thank you for talking about Gaza.  
 what a treasure you are alex 🙌🏼🤙🏻 
 all this with #nostr shirt on stage. nothing but respect for Alex ✊ 🗽  
 I missed it live in Nashville. Enjoying it now. So great Alex! Learning alot! 
 Appreciate the context otherwise I would have doubted if you were from earth 😂

Thank you, Alex for your great insights as always 🙏🏼 
 Alex. I try to orange pill people softly. Some in my job were so adamant that Bitcoin is only for criminals. Your content is what helped me really get them to think. Much appreciated. I'll keep referencing you in our lunch and learns at work.! 
 Your talk and the Nostr guys were topnotch. Well done.

 this was great, thanks for sharing. the hopeful message was needed 
 I’m very new to Bitcoin but after reading a couple of books, in particular “the  Bitcoin Standard and Lyn’s book “Broken Money, it convinced me completely that this is what is needed for everyone. Was very happy to send Sats directly to friends in Africa where hyper inflation is plunging millions into more poverty 😐 
 yes, my old man is right. Thanks for updating me Sir 🙏 
 What a great speech!  "If you're not mining bitcoin you're wasting energy"  Love it! 
 🐐 
 🙏 🫂 🧡 
 This is amazing Alex! Thanks for everything you do for Bitcoin, freedom, and human flourishing. Cheering for all of us every fucking day! Keep it up ⚡️⚡️ 
 incredible content, thank you Alex! 
 Great talk.   Thanks!   🙏 
 so powerful. definitely goat level energy 
 Inspirational, well done Alex. 
 Is there a link to this so I can send it to some anti-Bitcoin people I know? 
 That's what I did, I just copied link from here.  Let youtube out of it ;o) 
 Great talk, not only for your normie friend.

 Great Speech! 
 Need to watch this one! Excellent insights as usual I am sure 
 Thanks Jake! 
 I really enjoy it when I see #Bitcoin framed as a “impact investment”

In 2018 I re-allocated into impact funds in a major way

I thought I could “make money & do good in the world”

That thesis proved to be largely incorrect 

Bitcoin was the moment when I realised I could actually do it

Interestingly so many people I know from the “impact” space hate btc

It’s like they’re triggered by it… conditioning goes so deep

We have lots more work to do to educate! 

Top stuff Alex. Such an important person to have learnt from 

🙏🏻 
 Fantastic keynote. Last couple years of human rights progression compressed into 51 minutes. Well done. 
 He puts it in a fantastic way!

#Bitcoin is an incredible machine that converts self-interest into freedom 🫡  
 Great speech 🙏. Here is Myanmar 🇲🇲: what can we do together? 
 Excellent list of use cases thank you 
 Amazing! 🔥 
 So. Fucking. Good.
