Firstly, apologies for the delay in getting of out our newsletter and blogs this quarter. We were waiting for the 2022 Bitcoin Conference before publishing. We wanted to highlight the best and most significant keynotes given during the conference.
Our number 1, really explains the power of the bitcoin network and why it is significant, number 2 is all about the asset, how to protect yourself from the fiat fraud and finally number 3 - the ESG narrative and shaping the future.
Number 1 - Jack Maller’s Announcement and the King’s Gambit
Many people that get into crypto and bitcoin will always talk about price. What they are actually talking about is the asset (the incredible store of value proposition) . Bitcoin is more than that, it is a new financial network that enables customers and merchant without middlemen.
Jack’s “Kings Gambit” keynote is the best I have ever seen on this topic!

Bitcoin 2022 Conference - Jack Mallers
Number 2 - Cult of the Central Bank: A Fiat Religion
If you don’t know what financial repression is then this is a great talk to understand how governments confiscate the wealth of their citizens in the form of inflation. He highlights how in 8 years he went from a $2000 salary to $20.
Our journey in the west is only starting, it’s time you understand hyperinflation and fast. It’s also worth noting his thoughts on CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) - they are the same flavour as fiat, so they will have the same properties… they will be debased and used against you.
Let’s just hope that some lesson can be taught and that people don’t have to learn the lessons of hyperinflation the hard way - only time will tell.

Bitcoin 2022 Conference - Ricardo B. Salinas
Number 3 - bitcoin: Revolutionary Youth Movement
This is is one of the comments from YouTube that perfectly sums up the video “This might go down as one of the speeches that is recognized as vital to this revolution ! That man's voice was cracking because he was afraid he was being compelled to tell the truth ! Going public is handing your company to government indirectly !”
“ESG is the real enemy, it’s a hate factory and when you think ESG, think CCP”
For me, the key take away from this keynote, is that we have have momentum, we have an asset that can protect our wealth and labour, it’s transparent, fair and inclusive. We need to be careful, regulation it’s almost always used as a tool to corrupt a movement and finally, we need to be sceptical of the ESG narrative.

Bitcoin 2022 Conference - Peter Thiel
One point I would make at around the 6:48 mark is that Peter’s slide should be changed. You can remove the ETH logo and replace it with the Bitcoin logo now that we have Lightning.
Updated Slide
Lightning Network has enabled this!
The final piece I will leave you with is a quote form Cathie Wood during the conference. As she says, every single word is important:
“Bitcoin is the first global private (i.e. non government) digital rules based monetary system in the history of the world”
