A world-class Bitcoin conference is coming to New Zealand
Next April, up to a thousand delegates will gather on a mountain above Queenstown.

Something rare is happening on home soil. The Sovereignty Summit - shaping up to be the biggest Bitcoin-related conference New Zealand has ever hosted - lands at Coronet Peak above Queenstown next April. And we are proud to tell you that Stacked is a sponsor.
The Summit is presented by Bitcoin Basin, the circular Bitcoin economy we founded and spent the past year building before spinning it off to stand on its own. Bitcoin Basin's ambassador, Nell Hunter, is based in Arrowtown and has quietly turned the Wakatipu into one of the most Bitcoin-friendly corners of the world - with more than 50 Queenstown businesses already accepting it.

Why this matters
Bitcoin conferences of real international scale have, until now, meant a long-haul flight to Miami, Prague or Nashville. Bringing one to New Zealand puts us on the map - not as a curiosity at the bottom of the world, but as a serious node in the global network. It is a signal to the rest of the world that sound money has a foothold here, and a chance for the local community to stand alongside some of the most respected voices in the space without leaving the country.

Jeff Booth
Author of The Price of Tomorrow
Jeff is one of the clearest thinkers on technology, deflation and money. A successful tech entrepreneur - he co-founded BuildDirect - he is now a founding partner at Ego Death Capital and sits on the boards of Core Scientific, Fedi and Breez. His book makes the case that technology is relentlessly deflationary, and that our attempts to fight it are what break the economy. It is essential reading.

Putting New Zealand on the Bitcoin Map
For a small country, we punch well above our weight on Bitcoin. The Wakatipu has become a living example of what a circular Bitcoin economy can look like in practice - not theory, not a whitepaper, but cafes, builders and shops taking payment in it day to day. The Sovereignty Summit is a chance to show that off to the world, and to draw international attention and capital south. We think that is worth backing.
