[Pacific Blockchain Summit @PBSummit]

🚀 We’re Evolving. A New Name. A Bigger Vision. 🌊

After the first successful premier blockchain convening in 2024 during Honolulu Tech Week, we're proud to announce:

🏝️ Hawaii Blockchain Summit is now the Pacific Blockchain Summit!

Why the change? ✨ 👇🏻

[Stand With Crypto🛡️ @standwithcrypto]

Congress is close to finishing the job on market structure legislation.

But two things must be preserved to ensure it supports the crypto community - the GENIUS Act and the BRCA.

🔥 Six months. Countless sunrises. One single focus.

Here’s our raw truth:
For half a year, our team has poured everything into a single question:
“Can a single day actually bend history?”
Our answer: Yes—if it’s the right minds, around the right fire.

Tech for Impact Summit 2025
📅 October 7th (Tue) @ Toranomon Hills, Tokyo
🎯 Theme: “Beyond Boundaries: Building 2050 Together”

This isn't another tech conference. It's a debugging session for our species.
Our brains are hardwired with 50,000-year-old code: "Us vs. Them." It kept us alive then. It's killing us now.

The cure is older than the disease: the campfire. Where strangers became allies and humanity learned to trust.
On October 7th, we light that fire again.

🌟 Gathering around the fire:
🗳️ Audrey Tang (Taiwan’s First Digital Minister)
⛓️ Charles Hoskinson (Cardano Founder)
💼 Kathy Matsui (MPower Partners) × Rika Nakazawa (NTT)
💰 Ken Shibusawa (Shibusawa & Co.)

🧠 Conversations shaping our century:
🤖 Brain-Computer Interfaces: Utopia or nightmare?
⚡ Superintelligence: End suffering—or humanity?
🌞 Fusion Energy: Climate change’s final answer?
🎨 AI Art: Creativity for all, or the end of artists?
(English & Japanese • Real-time interpretation)

🚀 Your One-Day Transformation:
🔮 See the future first-hand: AI, Blockchain, BCI, and more.
🤝 Meet the builders: Startups solving humanity’s hardest problems
💡 Learn the mindset: Turn global crises into trillion-dollar opportunities
🛠️ Build your roadmap: Hands-on workshops
🌍 Find your tribe: VCs, LPs & visionaries

One day. Complete reset.

🎟️ Tickets & details → https://t.co/C2ZTKXejCx

🎁 Special Invitation:
We’ve reserved limited complimentary passes for those who feel the call.

👉 To claim yours: Comment “🔥 I’m in!”
We’ll DM you with an invitation code. First-come, first-served.

October 7th. Tokyo.
Share this. Find your tribe.

🪙 Crypto is more than meme coins and price charts, it’s about policy and people.

At the @PBSummit I heard from @StandWithCrypto’s @TamaraSzulc about how grassroots advocacy is shaping the future of digital assets.

Friday was a great event at the Pacific Blockchain Summit!

Met some amazing people throughout the day and ensured I AVAX red pilled at least a few people.

The panel I spoke on about RWAs was a great discussion with two amazing gentlemen from Aptos and Building Inc, and moderated by Ellen who coordinated the entire event.

Already looking forward to the event next year!

[dagan.eth @DaganBernstein]

Had a blast at the @PBSummit 🌊 in Honolulu — builders, advocates & innovators all pushing Web3 forward.
