FOOTNOTES

Last week we announced a handful of hotel partners for Bitcoin 2021. We're rolling out more partners over the next week, but it might be a good idea to get lodging booked asap.

As we get closer to the event, expect more communication from our team about the venue, speakers, and satellite events. The best way to stay in the loop will probably be following the conference Twitter handle and by joining the conference telegram group.
