The North American Bitcoin Conference is just a little time away. This year I am both excited and proud to be able to attend. As a member of the Blockchain Education Network (BEN), I’ll be attending with my fellow students!
I am proud because being a part of BEN means you get to make friends with the most interesting, energetic and helpful people in the blockchain space. I truly believe the next future billionaire in blockchain space will be someone in from BEN.
When I joined BEN a few years ago, I felt I came home. There was no one on my campus talking about bitcoin. I was the weird “bitcoin dude”. Yet after joining BEN I was able to be a cofounder of the Gator Bitcoin Club on campus (go UF!). This is thanks to BEN and their support!
The club now has more than 300+ Facebook members. We hold weekly meetings teaching everyone blockchain technology. Our meetings are on YouTube. Its like Steve Job said, here is to the quirky ones, the ones that don’t fit in. The rebels, the trouble makers. I was one of those people. And now, as bitcoin hit 13K, I am one of the leaders of this club teaching people on about blockchain tech.
It is an honor to be able to attend the North American Bitcoin Conference because I am sure I’ll feel at home there too! Those people, the presenters, the guides, the ones helping with the logistics, all are part of the blockchain generation. This generation, IS changing the world. Forget about “will change the world”. We are out here doing it.
This is why I am excited!! I am excited to be home at TNABC! To be with a group of who are simply amazing. So thank you everyone for your hard work and for the opportunity!! See you home, see you at The North American Bitcoin Conference!!
