Why Hippies will drive the next bullrun (and nerds will make Bitcoin the world's greenest asset)
Daniel Batten

Bullruns don't just happen, they are catalyzed. The '20-'21 and early '24 run-ups were both catalyzed by institutional investment. The next group of institutions are the world's Sovereign Funds.

They all want to invest in Bitcoin. They all believe they can't because of the ESG narrative.
But that's a belief that's now ripe for challenging.

This talk looks at what happens when they flip their ESG beliefs, and how we can all make that happen.
