TABConf is The Atlanta Bitcoin Conference — an event for building communities, providing education, and supporting developers. This is a conference where no one can "buy" a talk. We like to think of this as the most inclusive, organic, grassroots event possible for Bitcoin. We are planning to have a heavy workshop schedule on day 1 of the conference, November 4th. The next 2 days, November 5th - 6th, will be panels, talks, and village activities. There are still opportunities to run workshops on the 5th - 6th, but this would need to be done with coordination of a village leader.
Dread is a Jamaican Bitcoiner with a passion for human rights and individual sovereignty. When people think of what it means to be Jamaican, they picture beaches and waterfalls, spicy jerk chicken, Bob Marley, and Rastafari. But Dread, like Jamaica, is so much more than that. Yes Dread loves reggae and jerk chicken. Yes he loves the beaches and waterfalls of his homeland, and yes, he has dreadlocks and often gives praise to Jah. But those things are only part of what makes Dread who he is. Dread comes from a family of engineers that instilled in him a great respect for the merits of hard work. Following in the footsteps of his family, Dread worked hard at every opportunity that came his way. He became a champion pole vaulter, traveling the world as a professional athlete, and that along with his dedication to higher education led to even more opportunities for him to study electrical and computer engineering in the U.S. before going on to a 20+ year career in Tech and IT consulting.
Like many Bitcoiners, Dread didn’t find Bitcoin; Bitcoin found him. Bitcoin represents the fusion of Dread’s interests and ideals. Bitcoin is hope, for Jamaica, for Dread, and for individuals the world over. Dread fell in love with learning more and more about the amazing technology and possibilities made possible by Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, and when he realized the great need for more global awareness, he decided to take up the flag of Bitcoin education himself.
Dread recently began hosting a new web series and podcast, titled “One Love Bitcoin.” For Dread, “One Love Bitcoin” is more than just a show. It is a mantra, his mission and a way of life. Dread hopes to interview Bitcoiners from every country on earth, to share their stories, and in so doing, help bring about an Exodus from the failed fiat monetary experiment to the bright orange future made possible by Bitcoin.
He also started working with several Bitcoin companies such as Bitcoin Magazine and Start9, an up and coming sovereign computing company taking the world by storm, further fulfilling his desire to help build a future based on self-sovereignty, technological defense from tyranny, and unstoppable access to a new free and fair financial system using the hardest money known to man.
