lodo 🇦🇺

I'll be yapping again this year on behalf of @Binance_AUS at @AusCryptoCon. This is easily the biggest weekend in Crypto Downunder, and here's where to catch me:🦘

@paddydotai @binance @Binance_AUS Yes, keen to surf around Chicama.

@liamodoh @binance @Binance_AUS Peru on the cards ? Might see you there

BIG LIFE UPDATE 👏 Today I finish my role with @binance / @Binance_AUS. I wrapped up my last week joining champion surfer Jack Robbo and a bunch of our most frothy users for a ripping session & meetup at URBNSURF Sydney. What a highlight and an unforgettable send off! 🏄‍♂️ My time at Binance has been formative to say the least, and my work has literally onboarded millions of crypto users across dozens of countries. I'm so humbled to have made so so many great friends on this journey, both at Binance and in our remarkable network of local partners. There's way too many to shout out, but I'm sure I'll catch up with you all very soon. I want to throw a specially huge thank you to my leaders and mentors over the past 4 years, especially @RachelConlan, Mandy, Tanny, @Jamesqk, @TraversLeigh, Matt and @mrbenrose. Also my local ANZ colleagues who've turned up time and again to support at events, campaigns and everything in between. What's next? I'm taking a short career break to surf & trek my way through the Americas and Europe. I'll be chasing world class waves and stunning mountain landscapes, so if you live in or have great travel recs for any of these places, please hit me up! I'll be back in 2027 to help more Aussies make sense of Bitcoin & crypto, and make their first forays into this frontier of digital finance. Until then... STAY HUMBLE, STACK SATS 🚀 And I'll see you in the tube!

@Zeneca Some of my worst convos about crypto have been at the barber. 😅 It's a job that gives you a 10 minute discussion on a topic over the course of each haircut. Exposure to a huge breadth of conversation, but no depth. There's a mainstream sentiment indicator in there somewhere.

Actual conversation with my barber today: Him: you’re into stocks, right? Me: well, a little, much more into crypto Him: Bitcoin… is Bitcoin part of crypto? Me: Yep! It sure is Him: Did you see the thing about how Epstein was the founder of it all????? Me: …. Me: That was a fake screenshot or something, lots of those going around Him: Are you sure? Oh wow, I was convinced it was real Me: *deep sigh* Young guy too, probably mid 20s

@crypto_Suman @Milkman_kitchen @Binance_AUS Legends!

@_DannyKnowles @Bitkey I've been meaning to try Bitkey for a while. WBD has been another level up lately 🫡 The Saylor ep was a really interesting listen. It's great to hear debate in Bitcoin and you handled it well. Thanks for your work!

💥 GIVEAWAY 💥 I'm partnering with Bitkey to give one of my followers a hardware wallet, and get more people holding bitcoin the right way! To enter all you have to do is RT this post & follow @Bitkey. That's it Winner will be selected on Feb 7th 👀

@Binance_AUS @allthingsblock Thanks for having us @allthingsblock 😀

A packed room, great conversations, and a community that keeps pushing things forward. 🚀 Big thanks to everyone who joined us in Brisbane for the @allthingsblock x Binance Australia Community Meetup.

Here are the 10 stablecoin cards I used during my Australia summer vacation. I’m staying 5 more days — which other card should I not forget to test? They all worked fine, as expected from Visa or their PSPs, but their UX varies significantly. I’ll do a short review of each: how I funded the card, which token I used, whether fiat ramps are available, costs, exchange rates and FX fees, rewards, and why I chose them. Big thanks to the teams behind these awesome payment products: @gnosispay @ready_co @SlingMoney @MetaMask @Exa_App @GetAmpPay @EtherFi @SolidYield @itstuyo @fusewallet These stablecoin-funded payment cards have reached escape velocity (in web3) and are poised to drive blockchain adoption (in web2). While this isn’t what onchain banking will ultimately look like, it’s a cool snapshot of the apps being built in the first (or maybe second) wave of self-custodial banks.

Congrats @stableshaman on winning our iPhone giveaway! 🎅

What’s Coming For Bitcoin In 2026? 🤔 | EP63 Binance Beach Weekly Aussie Crypto News with @liamodoh x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@DSBatten Thanks Dan, I've referred a lot of curious sceptics to your posts over the past few years and enjoyed your writing a lot myself. Your episode with @TheGuySwann on Bitcoin Audible in July was a great chat too. 🫡

New focus in 2026 TL;DR: This year I'll be spending less time on FUD fighting, more time coaching other Bitcoiners. If history is anything to go by, this should mean more impact. Why? It's not a stepping down, but a stepping up to my true calling. Having done this once before in another ecosystem, I'm confident history will rhyme. 20 years and 11 days ago, my father passed away from cancer. Days later I was at his funeral as person after person recounted the impact that he'd had on their lives as a coach, and teacher. At the time I was running a Bioinformatics company I'd started - an excellent thing to do, BUT ... it wasn't MY calling. Some people’s calling is to carve a new path from their parents. Mine had always been to follow, as a coach and teacher. But I'd avoided that because Dad was so good at it, I feared living in his shadow. But at his funeral something changed: I saw my two futures: the initially comfortable but ultimately regret-filled future if I didn't pivot ... and the initially harder yet fulfilling one where I did. Within 9 months I'd told my board I would be leaving, and recruited my own replacement. I helped the company achieve escape velocity. But the incoming CEO guided it to the moon, setting the company up for its eventual exit. Today, history repeats. Last year, after three years of voluntary advocacy, I partnered with MARA on a special assignment, part of which involved intensively shifting the Bitcoin mining narrative by taking the truth directly to influential outsiders. This assignment is about to come to a successful end (see chart below). Their help meant I had the time to rebut over 102 articles, write 61 Letters to authors of those articles and meet with 162 Regulators & Policymakers to present Bitcoin's ESG merits. Many publications have now changed their editorial policy on Bitcoin mining to be nuanced and positive - something unthinkable just a couple of years prior. Thanks all who made this possible, including the hitherto unheralded player in this: @MARA I'd never intended to run my Bioinformatics company for more than a few years. I co-foundered it because I saw a chance to make a difference. And it did. Our software has been used to further our understanding of the evolution of each major new virus of the last 20 years. I share this next parts as a reassurance ... and a reminder. When we do what is our true calling, we tend to have the biggest impact. I was running a single company, but as a coach I was able to coach more than 60 founders of tech companies, particularly “deeptech” companies. I helped multiple ideas that were stuck in Universities turn into companies, and helped multiple companies attract capital and exit. One government entity wrote to me to say "[you have] helped us transform the research community [of New Zealand] at all levels." I also never intended to do Bitcoin Mining FUD fighting for more than a few years. In 2026 it's again time to follow my calling. I will be coaching more Bitcoin leaders, builders and educators. The work has started with some great Bitcoiners creating some great results for our ecosystem, including these: x.com/DSBatten/statu… If you are a builder or leader in Bitcoin and you're interested in just having a chat about what coaching looks like, reach out. If you want to do more effective Bitcoin FUD-fighting (in any area) - let me know. As part of paying it forward, I’ll run a 90-min seminar in 2 weeks that distills 3 years of changing the minds of skeptics. And if you want to do DIY FUD-fighting from a strong evidential basis: here are the latest, most up-to-date resources: 1. The nine most common Bitcoin mining myths debunked: x.com/DSBatten/statu… 2. The receipts for the 22 papers, 8 independent reports and 30+ media articles showing Bitcoin's environmental benefits. x.com/DSBatten/statu… 3. How Bitcoin mining keeps energy prices low x.com/DSBatten/statu… 4. Keynote: Bitcoin and the Death of Energy (The video people most often tell me changed their minds on the subject): x.com/DSBatten/statu… And above all else, when you hear the whisper of your calling: listen. This doesn't mean be reckless. Finish what you are doing, move from success to success - but listen. The degree of your trepidation you feel is generally proportional to the size of your victory on the other side. PS: I’ll still be posting inspiring stories (and data) on Bitcoin mining. I won't be doing daily seek-and-destroy on all Bitcoin mining FUD, and the constant behind-the-scenes letter-writing. I will coach those who pick up this work...and many other Bitcoiners doing great things for Bitcoin too I hope.
