Day 0: Countdown
Monday 4 April 2022

A few hours away from the flight that will take us to Miami.

It’s about to start that process that now marks every air travel and that can not help but put a little anxiety. Online check-in, documents, quick swabs, luggage overflowing with equipment and very few clothes. All routine for us by now.

Even during this new mission we decided to keep a daily diary, just like we did in El Salvador, and this is its first post, the inaugural one. It will be a frank and open place. A confessional of sorts. Honest considerations, burning, even very critical if necessary: in full Bitcoin Italia Podcast style in short.

So let’s start with Operation Honesty: we are a bit nervous.

In the next few days we’ll be attending our first conference of this size, we don’t know what to expect, how the press room will be organized, what kind of interaction we can have with the guests. There are a lot of unclear aspects and it worries us a bit.

As if that were not enough, we are the Italian Media Partner of the conference and we feel the responsibility. They chose us for the reliability with which we do our work and for the results we have achieved in recent years. As to say… we have to be up to the mark. The perfect scenario to get caught up in performance anxiety.

Over the next few days we’ll be wandering around what we expect to be a playground of sorts. The Disneyland of Bitcoin. A huge village populated entirely by bitcoiners. We’re going to see some really good stuff. We’ll meet some of the professionals we respect most in the industry, we’ll see many friends we’ve met over the years, it will be a party and at the same time it will be days of hard work. 

We’ll try to report as faithfully as possible everything around us, on this blog, on our social media pages and on our YouTube channel. The idea is to try to offer to all those who follow us a real multimedia experience. A total immersion in Miami’s Bitcoin2022. So remember to follow us wherever you can, so you don’t miss a thing. You will have a front row seat, right next to us.

Of course, our most sincere thanks go to all those without whom this new adventure of ours would never have been possible.

First of all, our sponsors. Real excellences of the industry. We are honored to have your brands associated with our own.

Bpay by Bitcoin People, the best Italian provider of payment services in Bitcoin for businesses.

BitBox02 by Shiftcrypto, the best hardware wallet for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on the market. Bitkipi, the easiest way to buy Bitcoin ever. And finally Bitrefill, the site where you can buy all sorts of gift cards in Bitcoin, to use them already today in everyday life, without waiting for mass adoption.

Finally, we are immensely grateful to all our community, the Bipers, but especially to the group of MIAMI VAIPS, those who wanted to support us personally for this Mission Miami 2022 and who are enjoying the Telegram group that we have created specifically for the occasion. To all of you, no one excluded, go our most gigantic thanks.

And now all that remains is to fasten our seatbelts. In a few hours we fly to the States. Just thinking about it makes our knees shake, but we know we’ll have you by our side. Step by step.

Lift off!!!
