A real ad for the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami featuring Jack Dorsey, Chamath, Tony Hawk, and Michael Saylor, during which Tim and Ben admit they have no idea what they're actually supposed to do at the event.
- Bitcoin 2021 Conference ad reads: Jack Dorsey, Chamath, Tony Hawk, and Michael Saylor announced as headliners in Miami June 4-5.
- Tim admits nobody at the conference has told him what he's actually supposed to do—they've emailed nine times with no response.
- Program includes bitcoin-powered arcade games, art gallery, Tony Hawk skating a half pipe, and an after party Tim might be opening.
- Tim questions whether he's getting paid beyond the appearance fee and whether the promo code actually benefits him.
- Tim wonders aloud if they'll be podcasting inside a half pipe while Tony Hawk is actively skating in it.
- This event will be more entertaining than a typical comedy festival precisely because nobody knows what's going to happen.
- Discussion of wearing dogecoin merchandise to a bitcoin-focused conference, despite the event supposedly being bitcoin-exclusive.
- Proposal to have Gary Vee as a guest on the live podcast at the conference, offering to pay him to appear.
