This live sketch, created during Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024, captures the essential discussion led by Tom van Lamoen, Samuel Kullmann, and Freddie New on how Bitcoin is navigating regulation and government adoption across Europe. The artwork translates complex regulatory issues into a clear, conceptual format—highlighting key themes like the balance between good and bad governance, P2P potential, and Bitcoin’s role as a safe and non-repressive alternative in the financial system.
The sketch embodies the tension between regulation and Bitcoin’s inherent freedom, freezing this moment in time as Europe decides how to approach the digital currency. It's a powerful visual story that connects Bitcoin’s decentralized ideals to the real-world policies shaping its future.
