  Good morning, everyone. Bang, bang. The 2022 Bitcoin Conference is happening this week in Miami. It is the largest gathering of the Bitcoin community in history, and there are a number of large announcements that will be shared from various companies and leaders. David Bailey, the CEO behind this event, even joked that the Bitcoin Conference is merely a popular math conference. There's a hint of truth in every good joke. The excitement around this year's event is largely due to the success of last year's event. Over 15,000 people were in attendance. The first nation state, El Salvador, to begin moving to the Bitcoin standard, made the initial announcement on the conference stage. And speaker after speaker outlined how they were incorporating Bitcoin into their businesses. This brings us to this week's conference. It is estimated that more than 30,000 people are going to attend.

  Speakers include presidents of countries, NFL superstars, billionaire investors, public company CEOs, human rights advocates.

  And US politicians. There is representation from every Bitcoin company and investment firm. And there will be tens of thousands of plubs from around the world as well. As I thought about this week's events over the weekend, it struck me that it is only possible because of a nine-page white paper and some open source software written by Satoshi Nakamoto about 14 years ago. Quite literally, Satoshi changed the world with a few lines of code. This idea of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system has infiltrated the minds of more than 100 million people globally. It has re-energized entrepreneurs, investors, and everyday citizens. Without a CEO, board of directors, venture capital funding, or a dedicated team, the Bitcoin network has successfully coordinated trillions of dollars in resources and hundreds

  of millions of people to work in unison for a common cause. That beauty will be on display this week in Miami. There will be lots of shiny announcements and plenty of big names pledging support for the industry. It's helpful to remember that every individual is merely one piece of the network. No matter how wealthy you are, no matter how successful, no matter how famous, every person is just one node on the network. There are few systems in existence where the president of a country, a billionaire investor, and your average citizen are all equal participants. This means that Bitcoin's strength comes from numbers. The more miners, the stronger that Bitcoin becomes. The more nodes, the stronger that Bitcoin becomes. The more individual holders, the stronger that Bitcoin becomes. Decentralization runs antithetical to the way humans have been

  taught to think, but it is obvious that there are certain instances where it is essential. A digital sound money is one of them. This week will be a lot of fun. Announcements will be made, milestones will be celebrated, and pontification of the future is the name of the game. Just remember that we have a significant amount of work to do. Bitcoin may be winning, but there's no guarantee of future success. In the words of Matt Odell, "Stay humble." Hope each of you has a great start to your week, and I'll talk to everyone tomorrow.
