bitcoin conferences are fascinating things every 
year the most orange pill among us gather to discuss Bitcoin’s incredible potential filling the 
air with bullish energy and yet every conference has been a sell the news event and it’s not 
surprising then that history seems to have repeated but dare we ask could this time actually 
be different everything could be different well we watched all 27 plus hours of the conference 
live stream and today we’ll be giving you all the highlights as we aim to answer what comes next 
for Bitcoin my name is Guy stay tuned way back in 2011 when Bitcoin was still a baby the first 
ever Bitcoin conference was held in New York there were fewer than 100 attendees and speakers 
included Bruce Wagner Gavin Anderson Jeff Garzik and Stefan Thomas oh and fun fact admission cost 
one BTC $20 at the time now while that was the first recorded Bitcoin conference the first major 
conference was held in San Jose California back in 2013 organized by the Bitcoin Foundation it 
focused on the wide range of problems Bitcoin aimed to address since then there’s been an 
annual Bitcoin conference and the biggest one of all is hosted by Bitcoin Magazine who first 
hosted in San Francisco in 2019 the event has run every year since drawing thousands of attendees 
even during the pandemic but why is the Bitcoin conference so important well for one thing it’s 
a great opportunity for people to meet up with like-minded individuals and potentially make 
friends for life it’s also a prime source of inspiration and insight offering direct access to 
industry experts and of course plenty of alpha but most importantly the Bitcoin conference is often 
the stage for major announcements some of the most bullish in Bitcoin’s history reserved exclusively 
for the event for example at the 2021 conference in Miami El Salvador’s President Najib Boule 
announced that the country would adopt Bitcoin as legal tender making it the first nation on 
Earth to officially recognize BTC as currency and of course we’d be remiss not to mention the 
Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville which you may recall featured an unforgettable speech from 
none other than that’s right Russell Brand oh and there was also the small matter of Donald J 
trump delivering the first ever presidential campaign speech at a Bitcoin conference too 
trump’s attendance at last year’s conference had Bitcoin enthusiasts everywhere buzzing with 
excitement about this year’s event which by the way was hosted in Las Vegas Nevada so without 
further ado if you’re ready to get into it fire up that like button smash the subscribe and punch 
that notification bell for good measure oh and if you’re looking to trade Bitcoin or any other 
crypto for that matter then check out the Coin Bureau deals page that’s where you’ll find signup 
bonuses of up to $100,000 trading fee discounts of up to 50% and deposit cashbacks of up to 75% on 
crypto exchanges so be sure to take advantage of these limited time deals using the link below so 
the recent Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas took place just last month let’s start with day one aka 
industry day now unlike days two and three day one was exclusive to attendees with either a pro or 
whale pass that said it was anything but quiet the conference drew over 35,000 attendees in total 
with an estimated 25% holding pro or whale passes so roughly 9,000 people day one kicked off with 
Steak and Shake COO Dan Edwards who announced that all locations in the US France Monaco and Spain 
now accept BTC cutting payment processing fees by 50% he also revealed future plans involving 
AI tech like robo taxis cyber chefs and drones and unveiled a special Bitcoin meal created just 
for the event things then got more serious from here on in with a discussion between three US 
senators Cynthia Lumis Marsha Blackburn and Jim Justice lumis highlighted Trump’s support for 
the Bitcoin Act which aims for the US to acquire 1 million BTC over 5 years she also said the 
White House will legislate stable coins market structure and the strategic Bitcoin reserve or 
SBR in that order notably Lumus called the SBR a key geopolitical advantage backed by military 
generals and noted that the US holds 5% of the world’s gold and should match that with BTC 
what’s fascinating is that the US holds gold certificates priced at 1974 values between $36 and 
$46 lumis says they can bring these certificates to today’s gold valuations over $3,000 each and 
then convert them to BTC without spending a dime smart move intriguingly Senator Blackburn said 
the SPR provides stability not seen in government bonds fiat or gold effectively endorsing Bitcoin 
as superior to those assets she also said the US should add to its crypto reserves meanwhile 
Senator Justice seemed a little panicked saying Bitcoin is quote hold all the power begging for 
help with the $37 trillion national debt a little later the stage was graced by Tron’s Justin Sun 
alongside Bitwise’s Hunter Horsesley and Bitgo’s Mike Belshi notably Horley noted a shift from a 
1% to a 2 to 5% BTC allocation among traditional and institutional investors sun praised Trump’s 
crypto policies and said growing US institutional adoption will drive global adoption he added that 
he’s been in Bitcoin since 2012 and it’s always gone up bill Shei was more cautious saying crypto 
regulations will and should take a long time and pointed to Bitcoin’s quantum threat saying he’s 
questioned about it every month more about that later next Bo Hines executive director of the 
Presidential Council of Adviserss for Digital Assets and Tyler Williams from the US Treasury 
took the stage williams announced a major report due on the 22nd of July the government’s first 
comprehensive digital asset strategy covering tax market structure the SB and more hines 
meanwhile highlighted the bipartisan support for the Genius Act with Williams calling it 
the most unified financial effort since 2018 one even praised by foreign central banks hines 
said the biggest challenge is Congress’s lack of crypto knowledge calling it the least partisan 
issue in Congress later Black Rockck’s Robert Mitchnik said that while demand for spot Bitcoin 
ETFs has been unprecedented it’s still early days he said institutions view BTC not as a riskon 
asset but as a portfolio hedge and differentiator and predicted BTC will eventually decouple from 
the broader crypto market some would say that’s already started anyways Cynthia Lumis then 
returned to the stage saying stable coins were the priority because they’re quote a plain vanilla 
asset and the easiest way to get Congress engaged with crypto she emphasized that market structure 
is next and criticized the current tax system pointing out that Bitcoin miners are taxed when 
they mine and when they sell then Senator Bill Hagerty and Representative Tom Emma joined Sam 
Kazamian of Fracks and David Marcus of Lightspark hagerty said they’re pushing crypto regulation 
forward ASAP but faced delays from opposition led by Senator Elizabeth Warren both Haggetti and 
Emma noted President Trump wants stablecoin rules passed before the August recess next up was Fyra 
Shazad of Coinbase alongside House Representatives Byron Donald’s and Brian Stale not confusing 
at all they said Trump’s spotlight on crypto is speeding up legislation shazad added that billions 
in investor capital remain on the sidelines due to fears of regulatory scrutiny cryptozar David 
Saxs was next on stage although honestly not much was said he recalled Trump attending last 
year’s Nashville conference just a month after a dinner Sax himself had hosted where Trump first 
learned about crypto’s unfair treatment saxs added that the US can accumulate more BTC if done in a 
budgetneutral way and then closing day one was the president’s son Donald Trump Jr who shared that 
after being debanked and deinsured in 2020 due to his political involvement he saw the systems 
flaws and grew to appreciate Bitcoin as a champion of freedom he was then asked if he orangepilled 
his dad and he basically said yes along with his brother Eric but emphasized that democratizing 
finance ranks alongside world peace in Trump’s presidential goals now the following day saw a 
full house with all 35,000 plus passholders in attendance from our perspective days two and 
three were far more engaging than day one so those who skipped the exclusive access didn’t 
miss much anyway day two opened with arguably the conference’s most important speaker US Vice 
President J dance while Trump attended Nashville last year he was still a presidential candidate at 
that point thus making Vance the highest ranking political figure to attend a Bitcoin conference 
anyway Vance said that 50 million Americans currently own BTC expecting this to double soon he 
praised DeFi for revolutionizing transactions and banking the unbanked he framed crypto as a hedge 
against bad policies and the elitees control of technology emphasizing Bitcoin isn’t just flashy 
tech but a powerful symbol of personal liberty he also vowed that the current administration 
won’t obstruct crypto noting that they fired Gary Gendler well they didn’t he resigned and will 
do the same to anyone similar on stable coins he said they strengthen not threaten the US dollar 
he stressed the need for clear crypto regulations and crypto’s integration into the economy before 
closing with three key points first the crypto community must carry 2024’s political momentum 
forward second as China leans away from Bitcoin the US should lean towards it and third while the 
left favors AI and the right favors BTC everyone should support both since they impact each other 
meanwhile James Hows famous for losing a hard drive with 8,000 BTC in a Newport UK landfill 
joined the presenting desk he said he’s tried to recover it since 2012 with a recovery team 
but claims Newport City Council blocked every effort leading to legal action and two failed high 
court cases now he’s got a new plan tokenized 21% of the lost BTC as ordinals to raise $75 million 
and buy the landfill outright the entire saga is being turned into a documentary potentially making 
Netflix and Chill a lot more interesting anyway back on the stage representatives from Kraken 
Robin Hood it Toro and Zapo Bank shared their insights kraken’s Dave Ripley said Wall Street 
is closely watching who’s buying GBTC and the Bitcoin ETFs and how much capital is flowing 
from traditional platforms to crypto meanwhile it Toro’s Andrew McCormick pointed out that while 
everyone is focusing on reserves and treasuries they’re ignoring the 300,000 US financial advisers 
barred from discussing Bitcoin with their clients next up Riot’s Jason Les Bit Deer’s Harris 
Basset and Terowolf’s Nazar Khan discussed high performance computing or HPC les noted 
both Bitcoin mining and HPC rely on huge power loads creating profit potential where power is 
cheap conversely Basset and Khan pointed out the differences mining is more power costs sensitive 
at $400 to $500,000 per megawatt while HPC depends heavily on location and bandwidth costing 7 
to8 million per megawatt and scaling into the billions next came arguably the second biggest 
announcement of the conference delivered by Bilal bin Sakib representing Pakistan’s government 
sakib revealed plans to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve inspired by the US he also announced 2,000 
megawatts dedicated to Bitcoin mining and AI data centers and initiatives to tokenize illquid assets 
launch digital IDs and build public infrastructure then Eric and Donald Trump Jr returned to the 
stage joined by Mike Hoe and Matt Prusac of President Trump’s mining firm American Bitcoin it 
was quickly revealed that Eric is crypto through and through he said he was debanked from Wells 
Fargo for holding one BTC and has since seen the traditional finance sector as quote absolutely 
weaponized he even said quote I would love to see some of the big banks go extinct because honestly 
they deserve it eric added that crypto fixes every trad problem which is why banks fear it all four 
speakers were then asked to give their BTC price predictions for next year’s conference eric 
guessed 170K while Don Jr said anywhere between 150 and 175K mike Hoe was more optimistic at 200K 
while Matt Prusac said that if we do things right BTC could hit seven figures wow just imagine 
the parties under those circumstances now next up was Blockstream’s Adam Back for those unaware 
Back is a key figure in Bitcoin’s origin story he was contacted by Satoshi before Bitcoin 
launched and is even cited in the white paper anyway back emphasized that Bitcoin is still in 
its early days but the growing involvement of political leaders and corporate executives signals 
that its social layer is scaling impressively then to spice things up a bit attendees of the 
conference got to enjoy a debate between Trace Mayor of Yurim Capital and Peter Schiff the 
notorious anti- Bitcoin gold bug watching Schiff fumble through his anti- Bitcoin arguments was 
comedy gold ironically he could have bought BTC at under $1 per coin but decided it wasn’t unique he 
then considered buying again at $400 but couldn’t justify it schiff said that Bitcoin is actually 
worthless and bizarrely argued that it’s just digital fiat he says we’re all delusional and are 
just in a Satoshi worshiing cult you’ll have to check out the whole debate in your own time but we 
couldn’t help but laugh at the many contradictions in Schiff’s argument and to think he could have 
become the richest man on Earth thank the Lord Satoshi he didn’t now day two wrapped up with two 
final panels though they mostly echoed familiar themes about Bitcoin’s global importance nothing 
you savvy folks haven’t heard before okay now day three of the 2025 Bitcoin Conference was arguably 
the most memorable opening with SEC Commissioner Hester Pur a vocal crypto supporter pur emphasized 
that while the SEC has dropped some lawsuits the industry isn’t lawless she blamed regulatory 
ambiguity for enabling bad actors and pushing others offshore pur emphasized the SEC’s reversal 
from the Gary Gendler era adding that most crypto assets in her view aren’t securities she also 
said that crypto shouldn’t be overregulated even riskier assets like memecoins basically it 
comes down to personal responsibility if you lose money gambling on memes don’t expect a bailout 
as for businesses Pur clarified that the SEC’s job isn’t to dictate what companies can hold on 
their balance sheets only that they disclose this information to investors how things have changed 
in just one short year anyway next up Tether CEO Paulo Arduino joined Caner Fitzgerald Brandon 
Lutnik now Caner’s CEO after his father Howard became US Commerce Secretary lutnik announced 
a goldbacked Bitcoin fund offering downside protection with physical gold aiming to attract 
more investors to Bitcoin’s ecosystem predicting other Wall Street firms will soon follow suit 
meanwhile Arduino revealed that Tether is one of the world’s largest Bitcoin miners which very 
few people know and hinted that more details are coming before adding that he expects BTC to hit 
quote insane levels from here next came a surprise visit from Paris Sanain Football Club you know as 
in real football with supposedly 500 million fans worldwide over 80% of whom are under 34 PSG aligns 
closely with crypto’s core demographic now I for one am somewhat doubtful that a Parisian football 
club is supported by over 6% of people on the planet but hey I’m no expert on football anyway 
last year the club added BTC to its reserves and launched PSG Labs to promote Bitcoin ventures 
and entrepreneurship among its global fan base and hey just a few days after this announcement 
was made PSG won the Champions League for the first time in their history coincidence i think 
not anyway Tether’s Paulo Arduino then returned solo revealing that Tether holds over 100,000 
BTC and more than 50 tons of gold tether is also expanding USDT to the Bitcoin Lightning network 
and investing $2 billion in energy and mining arduino also highlighted Tether’s suite of 
products a wallet devkit a privacy focused intelligence platform and a peer-to-peer chat 
app with BTC transfers next up Jameson Lop of Kaza and the gloriously named Hunter Beast of 
Summonet discussed Bitcoin’s looming quantum threat now for those unsure quantum computers may 
eventually be able to reverse engineer private keys from public keys posing a major risk to 
Bitcoin security lop outlined several mitigation strategies all with trade-offs and called for a 
deadline to move BTC to quantum proof wallets to combat procrastination he also cautioned against 
a paternalistic stance on any unmoved BTC hunter Beast suggested using hierarchical deterministic 
or HD wallets which generate a new receive address for each transaction reducing exposure he also 
highlighted a drafted proposal called Hourglass which would delay the sale of about 1.7 million 
lost Satoshi era BTC lop though called this a partial solution noting it overlooks the roughly 
4 million other lost coins next came another politician only this time from the UK reform UK 
leader Nigel Farage farage unveiled the crypto assets digital finance bill 2025 which would roll 
out if reform wins the next UK general election this plan echoes Trump’s policies but with some 
nuance it sets a crypto capital gains tax of 10% which Farage described as reasonable the plan 
also proposes a Bitcoin digital reserve at the Bank of England and protections against sudden 
debanking something Farage himself has personal experience of he highlighted that 7 million Brits 
including one in four under 30 own crypto yet the UK’s only notable move in the space has been 
prepping the awfully named Britcoin a central bank digital currency farage described this as the 
ultimate form of tyranny and vowed to oppose it he closed by announcing reform as the UK’s first 
party to accept crypto donations now next came the highly anticipated Jack Malers who presented what 
he calls quote the hodler dilemma malers expertly explained that as fiat currencies are printed and 
lose value life becomes less affordable forcing everyone into borrowing and debt naturally Bitcoin 
is the perfect solution but therein lies a problem at some point we need fiat for everyday living 
costs so the dilemma is when do we sell the world’s most superior asset to buy fiat well 
Malers explained that there’s another option that’s because Bitcoin is also the world’s best 
collateral asset so instead you can consider borrowing against it that way you don’t sell your 
BTC but you can still use it to create the life that you want then later in the day the loudest 
cheers of the entire conference were heard as strategies Michael Sailor walked onto the stage i 
mean every single person there barring maybe Peter Schiff is richer thanks to him so it’s hardly 
surprising he got a warm welcome sailor gave an inspirational presentation called quote the 21 
ways to wealth now while we can’t cover all 21 steps here we highly recommend you check it out if 
you get the chance and finally came the headline event the historic speech by Silk Road founder 
Ross Ulrich following his full pardon by President Trump and release from prison as many of you will 
know Olrich was sentenced to die in prison being given two life sentences plus another 40 years 
without the possibility of parole and what’s crazy is that his speech at Bitcoin 2025 took 
place on the 10th anniversary of his sentencing what a redemption arc opening with a casual “Hey 
gang,” Ross delivered a powerful deeply personal talk on freedom his unique perspective was 
genuinely thoughtprovoking when he was sent down there was only one Bitcoin exchange and BTC was 
around $400 he returned to thousands of different cryptos web 3 DeFi AI and much more besides and 
he explained that as tech rapidly evolves the crypto community must stay grounded in three core 
principles: freedom decentralization and unity by doing so he says we can achieve anything and that 
about wraps up Bitcoin 2025 a conference buzzing with talks of freedom and ironically a record 
number of politicians we’ll link to some standout talks below so feel free to dive deeper if you’re 
craving your orange pill fix now though as we mentioned at the start of this video every Bitcoin 
conference has resulted in BTC’s price taking a hit and this year was no exception shortly after 
Bitcoin 2025 BTC fell by around 5% although we should caveat that this isn’t as bad as previous 
years it dropped 20% after Bitcoin 2024 so then what does all of this mean for BTC’s price well 
the energy from this year’s conference was wildly bullish bitcoin adoption is accelerating more 
businesses are becoming BTC treasury holders nations are mining and accumulating it’s used in 
trade and in some cases it’s even legal tender still investors everywhere have the same question 
what’s next what’s left to unlock how much steam does this rocket have left bitcoin is feeling 
frothy but the same can’t be said for altcoins many of which have yet to reclaim their all-time 
highs from January or in most cases from the 2021 bull cycle the reason for this is simple bitcoin 
dominance continues to climb just as it has been doing since August 2022 aside from a brief 
dip in November 2024 it’s been up only and is currently sitting at 63% as such BTC’s price is 
set to keep on climbing from here and if you’re wondering about how high it could go then we 
recently put out a video analyzing some of the top Bitcoin price predictions which you can find 
right over here in any case if Bitcoin’s bullish momentum continues dominance could easily surpass 
its January 2021 peak of 74% but ultimately what goes up must come down and when BTC cools off 
and dominance finally begins to fall well then alt season can finally ignite the trillion 
dollar question remaining now is when okay if you found today’s video useful show those like and 
subscribe buttons some love if you want to learn more about the pro crypto stance of the SEC then 
check out this video right over here and if you want to avoid falling for the biggest mistakes 
in crypto then check out the video right here okay thank you all so much for watching 
my name is Guy and I’ll see you again soon
