On stage at Imagine IF, @Marty Bent and Dr. Andrew Hohns tackled a technical problem with a human response.
“Whenever there is a problem in the world, what is needed is moral courage.”
The problem for Hohns, is the broken credit system and a trust deficit between the institutions and financial leaders tasked to fix it.
Bitcoin provides a technological escape valve, and the power of next generation credit tools.

You can liquidate it on weekends.

“Imagine if your memories could be edited.”
@Marks of @Maple AI asked how AI could reshape thought itself, at Bitcoin Park’s recent Imagine IF Summit.
Because AI can already nudge what you see and how you feel, the idea of impacting our very thoughts creates what he calls subconscious censorship.
Marks warns this could come for freedom of thought itself.
His answer: open systems, verifiable code, and sunlight as disinfectant.

Bitcoin works because its supply cannot change.
Everything else flows from that.
At Imagine IF, Rapha Zagury explained to Parker Lewis, what it was like growing up in Brazil and watching grocery prices rise throughout the day. When you live through that, you understand why predictable money matters.
Proof of work transforms electricity into certainty and sustainability.

On the Imagine IF stage, @Troy Cross a simple challenge: Just try accessing a permissionless, censorship-resistant network that has no borders… You won’t go back.
He likened Bitcoin to having children: pre-experience fears are real, but the post-experience perspective is richer and truer.
Yes, disruptive tech carries risks, just like cars did too. But fear, tribalism, and politicization blind us to what new technologies unlock in human flourishing.
Watch the full Imagine IF We Didn't Fear Innovation keynote:
The real question: how do you avoid a single point of failure?
Most businesses only think of Bitcoin custody as “cold vs. hot.”
Collaborative custody and distributed keys make sure no one person, device, or company can put all your Bitcoin at risk.
At CTS25, @willcole discusses the various approaches around institutional custody with @Becca Amilee and @Jesse Posner
