We’ve got another local opportunity that we want to alert our readers to. If you’ll be in the Miami area this week, you have a chance to rub elbows with some of the biggest degenerates and thought leaders in the crypto space. This is the perfect way to kick off the new year as crypto continues its historic bullrun. We’ll go over all the details, cover price points, tickets, and some of the discussions that will kick off on Wednesday. Let’s get into it.

WAGMI – We’re All Gonna Make it

A phrase commonly used to express a positive sentiment in spite of market volatility. It’s a belief that blockchain technology is here to stay and will find its natural place in society.

Founder and crypto pioneer Moe Levin, adopted the phrase to rebrand The North American Bitcoin Conference into what is known today as WAGMI Miami.

Since 2020, Miami Blockchain Week has provided the crypto community with a place to network, learn, and collaborate with an ambiance you won’t find elsewhere in the US.

WAGMI Miami at the James L. Knight Center is the main event of Miami Blockchain Week.

If you’re in the area January 22nd – 24th, it may be worth attending to get an in person look at what’s to come. You’ll also be in the company of some of the biggest executives in the industry, so don’t forget your pitch deck.

Worth mentioning that there is a chance for students to claim free tickets to WAGMI Miami by filling out this form, but there isn’t much information on what the criteria is or how selections are made. The event starts this week so it’s possible all allocations to students have already been made.

Wagmi sponsored events will follow each day of the conference, and VIP Admission at $6000 includes a few extras GA won’t access. You can buy tickets here.

In years past, Wagmi Miami, formerly The North American Bitcoin Conference, has hosted the likes of Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum), Changpeng Zhao (Binance), and Mark Cuban who needs no introduction.

This year’s speakers are highlighted by Pudgy Penguins Founder Luca Netz discussing “The Rise of the Most Important NFT Project Ever,” as well as Paolo Ardoino (Tether + Bitfinex) and panels of top industry executives discussing future trends and applications.

Topics to watch include Tokenization & AI applications, but they’ll be covering a wide array of problems and solutions to the scalability of these new technologies.
