TD₿: The DEATH of Crypto and the RISE of Bitcoin - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Bitcoin is truly decentralized because it has no founder, CEO, or foundation in control of the protocol, and Bitcoin is tied to the physical world through the innovation of proof of work.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Today, we look at the second-largest cryptocurrency besides Bitcoin and its steep decline since its switch from proof of work to proof of stake. It looks like not even an ETH ETF can save it now.
Proof of stake is like a banana airplane. It has no physical ties to the real world, doesn't honor and respect physical reality, and is an abstract illusion. Ethereum has been bleeding out for over two years now.
Is it headed to zero? Are we witnessing the slow death of the crypto altcoin space?
Enjoy!

Indonesia Bitcoin Conference 2024
Dates: September 6-7, 2024
Location: Bali, Indonesia
The Indonesia Bitcoin Conference is a prominent, community-driven event dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin. Organized by the Asosiasi Indonesia Bitcoin Community, the conference aims to enhance awareness and understanding of Bitcoin while strengthening the local and international Bitcoin community in Indonesia.
Key Details
Focus: This is a Bitcoin-only conference, meaning it centers solely around Bitcoin and related technologies such as the Lightning Network rather than encompassing a broader range of cryptocurrencies.
Purpose: The event educates and brings together Bitcoin enthusiasts, professionals, and companies. It covers a range of topics, including the future of Bitcoin, mining profitability, regulatory developments in Indonesia, and Bitcoin's role in human rights.
History: The first conference was held online in 2021, attracting over 1,000 participants. It has since grown into an annual event highly anticipated by the Bitcoin community in Indonesia.
Speakers and Agenda: The conference features a diverse lineup of speakers, including well-known figures like Dr. Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard, and Robert Breedlove, CEO of Parallax Digital. Topics covered include Bitcoin's future, mining, adoption in Indonesia, and on-chain analysis.
In 2024, the organizers announced that the conference would shift to a biennial schedule, with the next event planned for 2025. In the meantime, the community remains active through meetups and other educational initiatives.
