“He who controls the money controls the world, and Bitcoin is the money now, and bitcoiners control the world, and the rest of the world is waking up to this fact. This is the new Davos...fuck the old world.”
— David Bailey

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Location: El Salvador
Date: Friday 30th April
Company: BTC Media
Role: CEO & Co-Founder

On June 4th & 5th, the Bitcoin world will descend on Miami for the largest Bitcoin-only conference in history. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, conferences and gatherings have been postponed and cancelled. It is fitting that a conference centred around Bitcoin, a tool for freedom that allows people to bypass government control, will be one of the first gatherings of its kind in a post-covid world. 

With the massive increase in retail and institutional interest in bitcoin, it looks to be an event on a scale not seen before for bitcoin. The lineup of speakers ranges from Michael Saylor to Jack Dorsey and Nick Szabo to Tony Hawk. 

In this interview, I talk to David Bailey, CEO of BTC Media. We discuss the massive Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami, maximalism, hyperbitcoinisation, and the bitcoin revolution.
