BTCHEL, the conference I co-founded last year with
@btcbenchmark and the rest of our great team, just had its second edition, and I didn't even show up (until the very end)!
We moved to the outstanding Kaapelitehdas (Cable Factory) where we were able to host an expanded expo area plus 3 stages. Despite spending most of the year in a bear market, the turnout was great, and the vibes were off the charts (so I'm told)!
As for why I wasn't there myself, my second child decided to enter the world the day before! Of course there was nothing to do here but enjoy the time with my wife and our son, but I recorded a message wishing everyone well, and inviting everyone back next year so I can join in myself!
Thanks to all our attendees, speakers, and partners for making BTCHEL 2026 a complete success, and welcome back to next year's edition, September 10-11 2027, back at Kaapelitehdas!
Now, I'm off to spend some quality time with my family before embarking on any new adventures. See you around!
