"Bitcoin was not invented to make you rich, but to make you free," Andreas Antonopoulos once said, and tonight we'll explore how this is possible! Our journey begins with a cup of coffee. Buying coffee with Bitcoin, right here in Malta! Yes, in Malta, you can purchase coffee for Bitcoin at Coffee Circus at various locations across the island. Michael Jordan (MJ) shares an update on his tireless efforts and support for those in need in Palestine. He has successfully collected funds for Hayam and her family in Gaza. MJ explains that sending support to Gaza is not easy. Middlemen take a 30-40% cut and there is a risk of losing everything. Bitcoin has the potential to change this. Not to make you rich, but to make you free. We’ll chat about the importance of self-custody, why keeping your Bitcoin on a ledger matters, and how to really own your crypto. No boring lectures, just real world actions with Bitcoin being more than just an investment—it’s financial freedom. Perfect for beginners and Bitcoin pros alike.
