.@satosawards are like the Oscars of bitcoin. Sounds a bit ironic? The Satos believe bitcoiners deserve community recognition, and unlike limited hangouts or centralized entities, the Satos are open for ALL to nominate and vote. No permission needed. If you know someone building, educating, advocating, or leading in Bitcoin -- this is the moment to put their name forward! "The inaugural program will recognize individuals and organizations contributing to Bitcoin’s growth, adoption, infrastructure, culture, and long-term impact, with 21 fixed award categories reflecting major pillars of Bitcoin’s global influence... Nominations and voting are open source and open to everyone. Any individual, company, or organization making a meaningful contribution to Bitcoin can be nominated by anyone, from anywhere in the world. Voting is transparent and determined by the global Bitcoin community -- not a closed panel or committee. The Satos Awards is built the same way Bitcoin is built: open, transparent, and owned by the people." Submit a nomination here: thesatosawards.com/nominations Read more below.

Bitcoin dropped 40% from its peak. "Bitcoin to zero" searches hit all-time highs. And yet, whales added 236,000 BTC since December. This is exactly why The Satos Awards exists. Bull markets reward risk. Bear markets reveal builders. We're building permanent institutional recognition infrastructure that honors the long-term contributors who keep building regardless of price action. 21 award categories. 21-member Satos Council. Built on Bitcoin's scarcity principle. The market will cycle. The builders will remain. And The Satos Awards will ensure their contributions are remembered. Spring 2026.

@satosawards Markets move. Builders keep building.

I'm excited to join the Satos Awards nominations council, to help recognize those who are building the future of money & freedom tech!
