Artificial Intelligence vs AI at X

Slide 1: Welcome to the Bitcoin Revolution

**Visual**: Image of a neon “Bitcoin” sign in Las Vegas.

**Key Points**: Set the stage, introduce myself, and hype the audience.

Yo, Bitcoiners! Welcome to Vegas, where the stakes are high, and the future’s bright—especially if you’re HODLing! I’m Larry Chiang, the guy who keynoted Harvard without getting into Harvard. Today, I’m here to drop some cheat codes for hacking hyperbitcoinization. Picture this: 2013, I’m at a dive bar in Palo Alto, and some coder tries to sell me on Bitcoin. I laughed—thought it was nerd money for buying pizza. Fast forward, I’m all-in, because Bitcoin’s not just money; it’s a movement. No CEO, no office, yet it’s flipping global finance upside down. This keynote’s about how YOU—whether you’re a HODLer, a founder, or a CEO—can win in a Bitcoin-driven world. We’ll cover stacking sats, building on Lightning, and outsmarting the fiat system. Ready? Let’s hack the future

Slide 2: Why Bitcoin? The Elevator Pitch

**Visual**: Bitcoin logo with “21M” in bold.

**Key Points**: Bitcoin’s scarcity, decentralization, censorship resistance.

**Spoken (160 words)**:

Why Bitcoin? Imagine a world where money’s not controlled by suits in D.C. or bankers on Wall Street. Bitcoin’s that world. It’s got three superpowers: scarcity—only 21 million coins, ever; decentralization—no single point of failure; and censorship resistance—try freezing THAT wallet, Trudeau! Think of Bitcoin like digital real estate: fixed supply, infinite demand. Michael Saylor calls it “the apex asset”, and he’s not wrong. Since 2009, it’s gone from pennies to tens of thousands, outpacing gold, stocks, you name it. But it’s not just about price. Bitcoin’s a global ledger no one owns, like an API for value transfer. Whether you’re sending $5 or $5 million, it’s fast, cheap, and borderless. So, why Bitcoin? Because it’s money that doesn’t bend the knee. And in 2025, that’s a superpower we all need.[](coingape.com/trending/bitcoin-2025-conference-dates-ticket-guide-for-las-vegas-event/)

Slide 3: My Bitcoin Journey: From Skeptic to Sat-Stacker

**Visual**: Meme of “Skeptical Third World Kid” with Bitcoin logo.

**Key Points**: Personal anecdote, overcoming doubts.

**Spoken (150 words)**

Let’s get real—I wasn’t born a Bitcoin maxi. Back in 2013, I thought Bitcoin was a scam, like Pets.com for nerds. I’m a hustler, not a crypto bro. But then I dug in. Read Satoshi’s whitepaper. Ran the numbers. It clicked: Bitcoin’s a startup with no VCs, no board, and a $1 trillion market cap. My first buy? A sweaty $100 at $200 per coin. I HODLed through crashes, FUD, and my mom asking, “Why not just buy Apple stock?” Today, I’m stacking sats—buying small, steady amounts—because Bitcoin’s not just an investment; it’s a mindset. It’s about betting on freedom over fiat. My journey’s proof: you don’t need a CS degree to get Bitcoin. You just need curiosity and some hustle. Let’s talk about how YOU can start stacking.

### Slide 4: Stacking Sats 101: Your First Cheat Code

**Visual**: Chart of dollar-cost averaging (DCA) returns.

**Key Points**: Dollar-cost averaging, micro-earning Bitcoin.

**Spoken (160 words)**:

Stacking sats—buying tiny bits of Bitcoin regularly—is your first cheat code. Think of it like collecting digital gold dust. Best way? Dollar-cost averaging. Drop $10, $50, whatever, every week. Since 2017, DCA’ing Bitcoin’s returned over 500%. Apps like Swan or Cash App make it brain-dead easy. Pro tip: automate it, so you’re not panic-buying at $100K. Wanna hustle harder? Earn Bitcoin directly. Platforms like Fold or Lolli give you sats for shopping. Or freelance on BitGigs for crypto gigs. I know a guy who earned 0.1 BTC designing NFT logos—$6,000 at today’s prices! The trick? Treat Bitcoin like a savings account, not a casino. Stack small, stack steady, and in five years, you’ll thank me. Next, let’s scale this hustle to entrepreneurial levels.[](link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-74437-2_6)

### Slide 5: Bitcoin as a Startup: Build on the Lightning Network

**Visual**: Diagram of Lightning Network (hubs and channels).

**Key Points**: Lightning’s scalability, use cases (micropayments, DeFi).

**Spoken (155 words)**:

Bitcoin’s not just money; it’s a platform. Think of it as the ultimate startup, and the Lightning Network’s its killer app. Lightning’s a layer-2 solution that makes Bitcoin transactions instant and dirt-cheap. We’re talking pennies to send $1,000 globally. At Bitcoin 2023, devs showcased Lightning for micropayments—think tipping streamers or buying coffee. Entrepreneurs, this is your playground. Build apps for remittances, gaming, or DeFi. Example: Strike lets you send Bitcoin-based payments cross-border, no bank needed. Or look at Zap, enabling instant donations. The hack? Learn basic Bitcoin scripting—free courses on GitHub—or hire a dev for $500 on Upwork. Lightning’s like early AWS: clunky but game-changing. Get in now, and you’re the Amazon of 2030. Let’s take this corporate with a MicroStrategy-style playbook.[](iq.wiki/events/bitcoin-conference)

### Slide 6: The Corporate Bitcoin Playbook: Be Your Own MicroStrategy

**Visual**: MicroStrategy’s stock chart (2020–2025) vs. Bitcoin price.

**Key Points**: Bitcoin as a treasury asset, Saylor’s strategy.

**Spoken (160 words)**:

CEOs in the room, listen up: Bitcoin’s not just for HODLers; it’s your treasury’s secret weapon. Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy went all-in on Bitcoin in 2020, buying $4 billion worth. Result? Their stock’s up 1,000% by 2025. The hack? Treat Bitcoin like digital real estate for your balance sheet. Fiat’s losing 7% a year to inflation; Bitcoin’s averaged 50% annual returns. Step one: allocate 1–5% of cash reserves to Bitcoin. Step two: use regulated custodians like Coinbase or Fidelity. Step three: hold for a decade. Saylor says it’s like buying Manhattan in 1800. Risk? Volatility. Hedge it with options or stablecoin yields. Bitcoin’s your hedge against a dying dollar. Next, let’s talk navigating the regulatory jungle.[](medium.com/quantum-economics/10-highlights-from-michael-saylors-bitcoin2024-keynote-address-489ed172cc51)[](www.nasdaq.com/articles/michael-saylor-delivers-bitcoin-corporations-2025-keynote-speech)

### Slide 7: Hacking Regulation: Stay Free, Stay Compliant

**Visual**: Cartoon of SEC as a dragon, Bitcoin as a knight.

**Key Points**: Regulatory landscape, compliance hacks.

**Spoken (155 words)**:

Regulation’s the elephant in the room. J.D. Vance calls out SEC overreach, and he’s right. But you can hack it. First, know your KYC—use exchanges like Kraken that play nice with regulators. Second, secure your keys offline—hardware wallets like Trezor are $100. Third, report gains. IRS loves crypto taxes, so use tools like CoinTracker to stay clean. Pro tip: move to Puerto Rico for Act 60 tax breaks—0% capital gains if you qualify. The goal? Stay free while staying legal. Bitcoin’s about sovereignty, not dodging the law. Look at Canada’s 2022 bank freezes—centralized finance can crush you. Bitcoin can’t be frozen. Hack the system by being smarter than the suits. Let’s zoom out to the big picture: hyperbitcoinization.[](decrypt.co/321336/u-s-vice-president-j-d-vance-to-speak-at-bitcoin-2025)[](decrypt.co/321336/u-s-vice-president-j-d-vance-to-speak-at-bitcoin-2025)

### Slide 8: Hyperbitcoinization: The Bitcoin Future

**Visual**: World map with Bitcoin nodes glowing.

**Key Points**: Bitcoin as reserve currency, global adoption.

**Spoken (160 words)**:

Hyperbitcoinization’s when Bitcoin becomes the world’s dominant money. Crazy? BlackRock’s Larry Fink says it could replace the dollar as a reserve currency. Why? National debt’s $34 trillion, and the dollar’s bleeding value. Bitcoin’s fixed supply makes it a lifeboat. El Salvador’s already all-in, buying 1 BTC daily. Remittances in Africa? Bitcoin’s cheaper than Western Union. By 2030, 1 billion people could use Bitcoin wallets. The hack? Get ahead of the curve. Run a node for $200 on a Raspberry Pi—be part of the network. Or mine Bitcoin with solar rigs if you’re in a sunny state. The future’s decentralized, borderless, and Bitcoin-powered. But it’s not all roses—let’s talk risks.[](fortune.com/2025/04/01/larry-fink-letter-bitcoin-dollar-national-reserve-currency/)

### Slide 9: Risks and Roadblocks: Don’t Be Naive

**Visual**: Storm cloud over Bitcoin logo.

**Key Points**: Volatility, quantum threats, regulatory bans.

**Spoken (155 words)**:

Bitcoin’s not a fairy tale. Volatility’s real—prices swung 30% last year. Hack it with DCA and strong hands. Quantum computing? Could crack Bitcoin’s encryption by 2035. Solution: upgrade to quantum-resistant algorithms—devs are on it. Regulatory bans? China tried, and Bitcoin’s still here. Hedge by diversifying custody—some in the U.S., some offshore. Biggest risk? You. Losing keys or falling for scams wipes you out. Use multisig wallets and never share your seed phrase. Bitcoin’s antifragile, but you gotta be too. Let’s wrap with how to start TODAY.[](link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-74437-2_6)

### Slide 10: Your Bitcoin Action Plan

**Visual**: Checklist with “Buy, Secure, Build, Learn.”

**Key Points**: Practical steps for attendees.

**Spoken (160 words)**:

Here’s your cheat sheet: **Buy**—start with $10 on a reputable exchange. **Secure**—get a hardware wallet and back up your keys. **Build**—experiment with Lightning apps or a Bitcoin side hustle. **Learn**—read “The Bitcoin Standard” or follow Bitcoin Magazine. My PQRST hack: preview, question, read, summarize, test. Apply it to Bitcoin. Join a local Bitcoin meetup—Vegas has a big one. Run a node. Stack sats. In a Bitcoin world, you’re your own bank. HODL your keys tighter than your hustle. Let’s make hyperbitcoinization happen, one sat at a time. Who’s with me?[](www.linkedin.com/posts/larry-chiang-52724540_cs183d-activity-7107144204673286145-rFZs)
