Bitcoin is no longer just a fringe idea—it’s breaking barriers (and all-time highs), rewriting narratives, and reshaping the global financial landscape. From bold legislative moves like the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill proposing a 'Bitcoin Fort Knox' to an incoming administration that’s bullish on Bitcoin, the Overton Window is shifting now more than ever.

Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming introduced Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Legislation

Following her announcement of a historic proposal to supercharge the U.S. dollar and pay down the national debt by establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) officially introduced the Boosting Innovation, Technology and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide (BITCOIN) Act in the U.S. Senate on July 31, 2024.

It's happening.

Doors open at 6:00 PM! Enjoy food, drinks, and networking before the event kicks off. Grab a bite, mingle, and get ready for an exciting evening. Content starts around 7:00 PM.
