The cre
ation of these Orange Jackets would not have been possible without the generous support of Swan Bitcoin, whose commitment to advancing Bitcoin adoption made this vision a reality. Together, we delivered a prize that perfectly encapsulated the significance of this event and the values that drive the Bitcoin movement.
Hosting this event in El Salvador, the world’s first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, added an extra layer of significance. The country stands as a global beacon for Bitcoin adoption, showcasing its potential to revolutionize financial systems and empower individuals.

The competition was fierce yet friendly, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and very enjoyable. It was a reminder of what makes Bitcoin unique: the blend of innovation, resilience, and community that drives its adoption.
Much of the event’s success can be attributed to the impeccable planning and execution by Chris and Frieda Bobay of Bitcoin Sports Network. Their dedication ensured that every aspect of the weekend flowed seamlessly, from the matches to the social gatherings. Their work was a testament to what can be achieved when passion meets professionalism, and they set a high bar for future events.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the visionaries behind the event, Stacy Herbert and Max Keiser. Their tireless efforts and unwavering belief in Bitcoin have made events like this a reality. They continue to inspire the global Bitcoin community, not only by championing the financial revolution Bitcoin represents but by creating opportunities to celebrate the culture, innovation, and excellence it fosters.
