My early thoughts on the Madeira conference: the growth in the presence of families was absolutely the most tangible difference. We saw wives, dads, babies, and even a couple of dogs! Michael Saylor singled out families as a class of Bitcoin users, and highlighted preserving family businesses and VALUES with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is becoming a family affair.
A channel named BitIntelligence on YouTube just released this 10 minute video they made of my essay called “Bitcoin: An Empire For Us All”. Pretty good I think. Check it out and let me know what you think.

My latest article on the Swan blog:
The Essence of Bitcoin. It’s an update to an article I published on Medium a couple of years ago.

Rather it points out that Bitcoin puts the violable morals of ethical people, such as “Do Not Steal”, in alignment with the inviolable laws of nature.
