Bitcoin Summit is lit 🔥

[jasonchewyl @jasonchewyl]

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗱.

This was how @balajis opened his keynote yesterday on Day 1 of Bitcoin Asia. It was bold, backed with history, logical deduction and data.

Seriously. How many people on Earth can make a statement like this with such conviction?

Balaji is not alone. I discovered incredible thinkers like @1MarkMoss, @LeveredUSTs, @MShenWM, @HunterAlbright and many more — each one a node carrying diverse perspectives that converge into a common conclusion: Bitcoin has entered a new era.

And Bitcoin will win.

That’s why I’m glad I made it to Bitcoin Asia Hong Kong. The signal here is the strongest— the conversations sharper, the ideas bigger. If you get the chance, I’d encourage you to experience a major Bitcoin conference yourself.

As my own conviction only deepens, I can’t help but wonder: how many minds were shifted in that room today?

My take: Still few.

That’s why I’ll be continuing to share the signal when I’m back home in Malaysia — starting with a private session I’m hosting at Freemasons Hall on September 15.

Details in the comments.

“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘶𝘣 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘴𝘪𝘢?”

That was the question posed to me on stage at Malaysia Blockchain Week last Monday.

My answer? Establish a National Bitcoin Reserve.

_____________________________________

But why Bitcoin and why now?

Here are 6 additional reasons I offer to contextualize:

𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹
A national Bitcoin reserve sends the clearest message: that Malaysia understands Bitcoin, has the leadership maturity to manage it, and is preparing its people for the next monetary era.

𝟮. 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆
Skepticism is exactly why the opportunity still exists. Many still conflate Bitcoin with memecoins, NFTs, or scams. But Bitcoin is fundamentally different— a sovereign-grade asset with unmatched resilience, transparency and verifiable scarcity. As global understanding matures, the window for asymmetric advantage is closing.

𝟯. 𝗜𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆
Only a handful of countries (e.g. El Salvador, Bhutan, the U.S., Pakistan) have acknowledged sovereign Bitcoin holdings. If Malaysia moves now, it has a chance to stand out as a leader—attracting global thought leaders like @saylor, @LynAldenContact, and @saifedean to take notice.

𝟰. 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲
Establishing legal clarity, custodial infrastructure, and inter-agency coordination doesn't happen overnight. Like the U.S. formalizing its seized crypto frameworks, Malaysia must begin laying the groundwork now. It only takes political will.

𝟱. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
Bitcoin offers a non-correlated hedge against global monetary instability. It is resistant to currency debasement, geopolitics, and foreign influence. A resilient nation needs stores of value that are borderless, incorruptible, and self-custodiable.

𝟲. 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘁: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀
Debt has long played a massive role in nation-building— enabling skyscrapers, highways and urban transformation. But in an age of global monetary debasement, rising living costs and widening inequality, its worth asking: is debt the only way?

𝗔 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Unlike traditional reserves, Bitcoin doesn’t degrade over time. It rewards patience, planning, and fiscal discipline. This shift won't happen overnight—but the strategic upside is greatest for nations that act in the next 5–10 years.

I honestly didn’t expect it to turn out this well.

I often doubted myself—

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝟵𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹.

Over 50 paid a full ticket price to learn about Bitcoin— understand its value to modern society and potential national relevance.

NGL. It was not easy to fill a room targeting the boomer generation— the most skeptical group of all. Many often would say, “Bitcoin is not for me, let the young deal with it.”

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

This is the demographic with the most to lose— having built decades of wealth. Many are retired, yes— but they still sit on boards, influence and shape policies.

So, the first group I want to thank is you— the guests. Thank you for your trust and coming with an open mind. 🧠

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳— 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹.

And while our vision may be ambitious — for Malaysia to be home to the largest population of long term Bitcoin holders 🇲🇾— it can never be forced.

The 21 Rules of Bitcoin states you must benefit yourself first. This will lead to more interest to #StudyBitcoin.

Conviction will come naturally after. Only then will corporations, state agencies and a possible National Bitcoin Reserve emerge.

Our job is just to help this process faster. ⏩

I have been receiving a lot of variants of this question lately—

“𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴”
“𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯’𝘴 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵”

I had some time to think about it and I realise the differences are profound.

[𝟭] 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆— 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝗮 𝗽𝘆𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗱.

Yes, early holders can gain significantly by selling— but when they do, it can only happen 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲. They forgo the future upside of holding Bitcoin and the holder base grows.

This redistribution has happened many times in Bitcoin’s history— during the first bull run when the earliest miners sell to over ten million non-zero wallets. It is an open free market; never unfair.

[𝟮] 𝗡𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀. 𝗡𝗼 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿. 𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀.

A Ponzi relies on a central operator orchestrating inflows and payouts—using new money to pay old participants.

Bitcoin has none of that.
No joiner bonus. No promised yield.

If you own Bitcoin, its yours.
No one owes you anything.
That’s not a Ponzi.
That’s self sovereignty.

[𝟯] 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁-𝗺𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

The market structure has changed.

The incentive to shill Bitcoin for quick gains is fading… largely because they already sold.

Today, the loudest voices in Bitcoin are often advocating for education, long term wealth preservation, sovereignty and protection.

And we do not have to look far. Strategy— led by Saylor, remains the most aggressive buyer with over 90,000 Bitcoin added to their treasury in 90 days— bringing their total to 592,000 BTC.

I anticipate many do not pay attention to how finite Bitcoin is and it is only my opinion: 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲.

——————————————————

One more reason I ❤️ Bitcoin so very much.

There is a natural limit nations and institutions can ever own. My estimate? No more than 20% of Bitcoin supply— as the rest is already in the hands of a decentralised base of users.

So, is Bitcoin a Ponzi?

𝙉𝙤𝙥𝙚.
𝙄𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩, 𝘽𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩.

Would Lee Kuan Yew Buy Bitcoin?

Bitcoin was only 6 years old when Lee Kuan Yew passed in 2015.

10 years later, Pakistan has just announced plans to establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve— joining a growing list of nations embracing Bitcoin.

Hence I wondered:

“Would the Father of Singapore buy Bitcoin if he were alive today?”

Not for speculation.
Not for spectacle.

But to preserve purchasing power, ensure monetary sovereignty, and shield Singapore from global shocks.

That question led me to deep dive into his leadership.

After combing through 50+ sources, 7 key moments stood out — moments that suggest he just might say Yes.

Let’s explore (8/8) 🧵👇

[jasonchewyl @jasonchewyl]

𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻. 📖

If ever there was a moment to prove that, it happened this past weekend.

Among the 16 participants in this month’s Bitcoin for Leaders workshop, one stood out quietly— but powerfully. A gentleman in his 60s, seated with conservative curiosity, completed the whole 8 hour course from start to finish.

Over lunch, he shared,
“I wanted to learn more about this asset and what it means for my kids’ future.”

A stark contrast to what I often hear:
“Bitcoin is not for me—I’m too old.”

𝗛𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.

They’ve spent decades building wealth— only to see it slowly eroded by inflation, rising fee structures, and geopolitical shifts that feel completely out of their hands.

This month’s cohort was one of our most diverse yet: accountants, lawyers, managers—and even a participant from Singapore.

And for the first time, the entire workshop was run by another trainer. A quiet milestone in our journey—bringing us one step closer to scaling Bitcoin education for professionals.

Sometimes, progress doesn’t shout.
It just shows up, learns, and passes it on.

We’ve got two more Bitcoin for Leaders workshops coming up in June—one in KL, another in Singapore.
