Casino
The horrible experience of the Casino hit me straight away…
It is a true experience of programming/mind and body control.
Fake lights, noise and air. No sun. Maximum sensory overload, dopamine hits, numbing down & programming.
Crew
I then teamed up with our crew for the next few days, thank god for great people with great minds
Interviews
We filmed 7 episodes for “You’re The Voice” podcast, in collaboration with my friend Ben Samocha - these episodes will be aired on his podcast (Crypto Talks in Hebrew) too. Our guests were (from left to right): Caitlin Long, Marty Bent, Mark Moss, Susie Violet Ward, Joseph Kelly, the beautiful Pierre and Morgen Rochard, JD & Britney Lott (oh boy what a couple & family!).
Panel
The panel I was a part of - “Bretton Woods 2.0” - was super interesting; Read more about it here.
Community
After the panel I had the honor to connect with some of YOU! my dear community members - thank you for showing up and supporting me!
Women in Bitcoin
500 women & amazing energies at this women’s brunch!
I had the honour of speaking on the panel, alongside amazing inspirational speakers and women who lead impactful ventures.
Senator Cynthia Lummis spoke at the brunch, and while I respect her and her relentless work towards normalizing Bitcoin and building a top-down acceptance of it, I also am observing and seeing the gradual weaponisation of Bitcoin by politicians for political and geo-political interests. It is inevitable.
And here she continues in the same trajectory:
Books
I’ve had the honour to meet amazing authors. Thank you for your voice. Thank you for taking a stand for humanity. Left to right: The Big Print by Larry Lepard, Break The Stake by Jake Galt, The Bullish Case for Bitcoin by Vijay Boyapati, Bitcoin - A Treasure to HODL by Lindey Magee, and a Bitcoin Magazine edition with Ross Ulbricht on the cover.

Friendships
I am very lucky and grateful. Over the past few years I hand picked and collected beautiful new friendships. Those who know me know I value meaningful relationships very much, and I don’t become good friends with anyone… chemistry, likemindedness, good heart, open mind, high consciousness are some of my “checklist” items… and I couldn’t be more grateful for finding so many kindred spirits along the way. I got to hang out and celebrate life with them during this trip.
Paying in Bitcoin
The usual debate was in the air, since we’re in a western country: treat Bitcoin only as a store of value, or extend its use as money, as a medium of exchange.
While people debate, I tipped in Bitcoin :)
Bitcoin 2025 set the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the Most Bitcoin Point of Sale Transactions in 8 hours — with 4,187 Lightning-powered transactions completed on Day 1. This record isn’t just a number — it’s proof that Bitcoin works as real money, in the real world.
Conference
What was the major topic at Bitcoin 2025 - you ask? 😅
