Brad Mines welcomes Jimmy Kostro back to the show with BIG updates and Bitcoin developments since their last conversation in January. This recording took place just days after Thailand’s famous Songkran Festival, where they share their experiences before diving into the latest news from Southeast Asia. Most notably, the highly anticipated Bitcoin Marathon and Festival 2025 has officially been approved by Chiang Mai’s Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO). Scheduled for November 1–2, 2025, this landmark event will merge sport, innovation, and financial inclusion, coinciding with the world-renowned Loy Krathong Festival. Brad and Jimmy also reveal exciting new additions to the Bitcoin Learning Centre in Chiang Mai, offering fresh opportunities for education and community building—and much, much more.📚 Chapters00:00 🎙️ Introduction to Bitcoin and Songkran Festival03:01 🎉 Experiencing Songkran: A Cultural Insight06:10 🏫 Bitcoin Learning Center Developments09:08 🇹🇭 Building the Thai Bitcoin Community11:55 📈 Economic Factors Driving Bitcoin Adoption in Thailand15:10 🎓 Engaging with University Students on Bitcoin17:53 🎧 Launching the Thai Bitcoin Podcast20:53 🏛️ Collaborating with Local Government for Bitcoin Integration24:06 🏃‍♂️ The Bitcoin Marathon and Festival Overview34:06 ⚡ Navigating the Challenges of Organizing a Bitcoin Event35:55 🤝 The Importance of Community Engagement in Bitcoin41:00 🔥 Cloning Yourself: The Power of Compound Growth44:05 🔮 The Future of Bitcoin: Predictions and Market Trends50:00 🛠️ Building a Bitcoin Community: Lessons Learned57:28 🏪 Integrating Bitcoin into Local Businesses01:01:22 🌍 Future Plans and Expanding Bitcoin Education01:05:20 💰 Impact of Bitcoin Price Fluctuations on Local Communities📌 Follow Jimmy Kostro and his incredible work:🐦 Twitter/X: https://x.com/JimmyKostro🌐 Website: https://www.bitcoinchiangmai.org/📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinChiangMai/videos🚀 SUBSCRIBE for Insightful Analysis 🚀╔═╦╗╔╦╗╔═╦═╦╦╦╦╗╔═╗║╚╣║║║╚╣╚╣╔╣╔╣║╚╣═╣╠╗║╚╝║║╠╗║╚╣║║║║║═╣╚═╩══╩═╩═╩═╩╝╚╩═╩═╝ Connect with Halving Report 🎧🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-halving-report/id1489878377🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1KPu47ArZiMwGBIeGh6e7i📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HalvingReport📸 Instagram: http://instagram.com/halvingreport💃 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halvingreport👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/halvingreport/🎤 Buzzsprout: https://halvingreport.buzzsprout.com/share🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/HalvingReport 🙏🌟 Thank you for tuning in to the Halving Report!
