65 MILLION NEW $BTC OWNERS, ONLY 21M COINS. MICHAEL SAYLOR COULD START IT. What if Saylor committed $100 million to give every American newborn Bitcoin? At $82K per BTC: • 25,000 sats per child ($20.50). • 3.6M new owners annually. • $74M funds the first year. • 65M potential owners over 18 years. Saylor starts it and other Bitcoin billionaires and companies keep it going. The BTC stays locked until age 18. Now imagine millions of parents learning about Bitcoin, buying more for their children, and raising an entire generation that grows up owning it. That's the real opportunity. Not the initial $100 million. It's creating a self-reinforcing adoption cycle with millions of families. 65 million new owners competing for an asset capped at 21 million coins. The most bullish thing Saylor could do for Bitcoin might be giving some away. @saylor, what if giving Bitcoin to the next generation became the largest adoption initiative in Bitcoin history? @saylor @Strategy @elonmusk @MichaelDell

What did I learn at Bitcoin Alpha? @britishhodl brought this up last night in a Space hosted by @MitchTX21, suggesting it wasn't worth going since nobody he talked to could say what they "learned at Bitcoin Alpha." I was half asleep, jet lagged, and wiped from back to back networking all week, so I didn't come up to speak. Here's my answer. This was only my second Bitcoin event, and no, I didn't learn stuff you write in a book. I learned there are very smart people out there, like physicist @jamestagg, running real world experiments with quantum computers in his backyard. Since I love Bitcoin mining, I brought up an idea. Everyone talks about quantum computers cracking wallets, seed phrases, or private keys. I asked, what if quantum was used to crack mining a block instead? Turns out James is already experimenting with that on a Bitcoin miner in his backyard. That led to a talk about a software program that could give miners a better chance of finding a block, which I can't disclose yet. I brought @LorenHodl and @btc_overflow into the conversation, and the four of us had talks about starting a business venture together. I learned you can't get that from a book, a Space, or a YouTube talk. It only happens at an event like Bitcoin Alpha. I learned you have to be in the room with the people actually building in this space and into the same things you are. You see how they really think, and who's legit versus who's just talking online. I learned you don't pay the ticket price for the food or the talks. You pay for access to those people. The talks are content. The people are the value. I also learned: • The price is a filter. Everyone there is serious, has money, or is building something. • Access. People who'd never answer your DM will talk to you over coffee in the hallway. • Trust happens in person. People do business with people they've met, shaken hands with, and shared a meal with. • The real action is off stage. Deals, partnerships, and investments start at dinners, in hallways, and at after parties. • Inside info. You hear what people are building and buying before it's public. I learned @bensig has a very nice wife, a beautiful daughter, and a great family. I learned an event like this takes a lot of hard work and prep, and @dotkrueger and Ben did a great job. While donating my time to help Ben and Fred set up, I met @shantbuilds and learned he discovered Bitcoin Alpha last year while the event was happening. This year he and his girlfriend, who are awesome people, help out with the event. Even more importantly, he's contributing to the Bitcoin space by making a watch that actually solo mines Bitcoin. I learned I'm still not confident speaking in front of an audience. When Ben passed me the mic in the AI conference room to tell my story, I got shy. I shouldn't have been afraid. All of this is what I learned from Bitcoin Alpha. And I learned one connection pays for the ticket. A single partner, investor, or client can be worth 100x what you paid.
