Renowned Bitcoiner and author Jimmy Song has praised Historic Bitcoin, an upcoming global conference organized by the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC), as an unprecedented event focused on the cultural and transformative power of Bitcoin, rather than its market price or financial gains.
“Historic Bitcoin is on another level. It’s not about prices, but about culture and transformation,” said Song, during a Space on X that also featured Stacy Herbert, director of ONBTC, and Max Keiser, a leading Bitcoin advocate.
The event will take place November 12–13, 2025, in the Historic Center of San Salvador, blending education, art, and entertainment in an inclusive public experience. Song explained that the conference “is designed to look at the next 10 or 20 years from a cultural and almost spiritual perspective, asking how Bitcoin can be a force for good in the world.”
Confirmed activities include face painting for children, youth mural workshops, free Bitcoin classes by CUBO+ students, and a large professional graffiti mural that will later be displayed on a national building. Keynote speeches will be broadcast on giant LED screens in Gerardo Barrios Plaza with live translation, allowing thousands of Salvadorans to participate freely. The closing night will feature a drone show, fireworks, and a themed celebration at La Dalia, combining cypherpunk spirit with national pride.
The speaker lineup includes global leaders such as Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Jeff Booth, Max Keiser, Jack Mallers, Pierre Rochard, Lina Seiche, and Stacy Herbert, who described the event as “a national celebration of the technological, cultural, and economic renaissance that El Salvador is experiencing.”
With Historic Bitcoin, El Salvador reaffirms its position as the world’s epicenter of Bitcoin innovation, advancing a sovereign digital economy supported by a strategic Bitcoin reserve, legal clarity, and the rise of new Bitcoin institutions.
“Bitcoin Histórico invites us to imagine what the world will look like in 20 years, when Bitcoin is part of society’s very fabric,” Song concluded. “El Salvador is leading the way.”
Tickets are now available at bitcoinhistorico.com, purchasable in Bitcoin, credit, or debit cards. Salvadorans with a DUI can obtain tickets for $21, making this a historic event for both the nation and the future of money.
