Hey Bitcoiners,

In this video, we'll explore how Bitcoin could transform not just individual lives but entire nations, especially those long exploited by a broken monetary system.
By the end, you'll see how this finite, incorruptible network could catalyze a future where the wealthy no longer guard economic prosperity.

On This Day (In Bitcoin History)
2016 - A Bitcoin wallet was sent to space and live streamed online
On August 30, 2016, in a bid to raise awareness about Bitcoin and demonstrate its capabilities as the leading digital currency, Genesis Mining embarked on a unique promotional campaign. The company decided to send Bitcoin into space, a concept inspired by the Bitcoin community's aspirational catchphrase "to the moon," which reflects the hope for Bitcoin's value to reach astronomical heights.
The mission involved launching a weather balloon from Sheffield, England, carrying a 3D-printed Bitcoin and a Bitcoin wallet. The initial goal was to surpass the Armstrong Limit, the altitude beyond which humans cannot survive without a pressure suit, set at 20 kilometers above sea level.
As the weather balloon ascended, the team at Genesis Mining successfully conducted two Bitcoin transactions. The first transaction was sent when the balloon reached 20 kilometers, officially marking Bitcoin's entry into near space.
Not content with this achievement, the team aimed for a higher altitude. At the optimal height of 34 kilometers, they sent the second Bitcoin transaction, pushing the boundaries of what was considered possible for Bitcoin transactions.
You can view the transaction here.

Indonesia Bitcoin Conference 2024
Dates: September 6-7, 2024

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.
