Out of the last four Bitcoin conferences (2023-2026), this year had the most Nostr content and signal by far, even more than 2025 when we had the Nostr lounge/booth.
In 2026 we had talks on the Open Source Stage, the Freedom Go Up Stage, the Genesis Stage, and the Workshop Stage. We had a conference-wide photo feed powered by Nostr. We were zapping speakers live on the Open Source Stage. Huge!
We had content on free speech, AI agents, vibe coding, decentralized identity, protocol vs platform, and the freedom tech stack. Nostr was woven into Bitcoin 2026 and it felt great.
I want to personally thank thebitcoinconf (nprofile…7emy) team for making this happen, and especially @Francis_Mars and Pedro 🧨 (nprofile…3fpm) and everyone at HRF (nprofile…hv7w). Thank you all.
See you in Nashville 2027. 🎸🟠💜
