WAGMI Announces Transform Ventures CEO Michael Terpin as Speaker

One of crypto’s earliest thought leaders highlights the growing roster of innovators and pioneers gathering in Miami in January

Miami, FL, Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WAGMI, the ultimate event bringing together leaders for a week of collaboration and serendipity to create unforgettable experiences within the DeFi and blockchain industry, today announced that Transform Ventures CEO Michael Terpin will be a speaker at its one-of-a-kind conference, which will be held next year in Miami from Jan. 22-24, 2025. 

One of the earliest thought leaders and influencers in the bitcoin and crypto spaces, Terpin was pronounced the “Godfather of Crypto” by CNBC for his advisory and marketing efforts for many prominent early projects in crypto, including the launches of Ethereum and Tether. He founded the first decentralized group of bitcoin investors, BitAngels, in early 2013, which funded the very first ICO, Mastercoin. Since 2014, he has organized the longest-running investor conference series in crypto, Tokenize (formerly CoinAgenda). 

At WAGMI, Terpin will also be discussing and hosting a signing of his book, Bitcoin Supercycle: How the Crypto Calendar Can Make You Rich, recently released by leading imprint Skyhorse Publishing, Inc., which has also published recent books by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and First Lady Melania Trump. Upon its release, the book was the best-selling new release in Amazon’s Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency section. Terpin began his research on the bitcoin cycles in 2013 and was among the first to predict in 2015 (when bitcoin was less than $300) that bitcoin prices would reach $10,000 by 2020. This was when he formulated his “Four Seasons of Bitcoin” model, which he has presented to many family offices and conferences worldwide, culminating in a white paper in 2023 predicting the current run-up in price. 

Terpin has also keynoted five times at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on blockchain, where he was honored as a pioneer. He has spoken widely at technology and investor conferences globally, including Bitcoin Conference, Bitcoin Foundation, Coindesk Consensus, North American Bitcoin Conference, Satoshi Roundtable, Future Blockchain Summit (Dubai), Coin Summit, Inside Bitcoins, NFT NYC, Opal Family Office, Family Office Club, 1640 Society, and Campden Wealth conferences.

“Michael is not just one of the cryptocurrency industry’s top thought leaders, but one of its top investor event leaders, and he always has unique insights into the future trajectory of crypto and blockchain. We are really excited to have him contribute to our agenda and share his latest insights,” said WAGMI founder and organizer Moe Levin. 

“At the very first BitAngels gathering at Bitcoin 2013, which was really just a small room of people, bitcoin was at $100. Now, it’s approaching $100,000,” said Terpin. “What we think of as the crypto industry has come so far in a relatively short time, but the exciting part is that it is only just getting started. WAGMI is the kickoff to that new and exciting era and I look forward to sharing my thoughts there.”

Other speakers at WAGMI include Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and blockchain pioneers like Charlie Shrem and Nick Spanos. Over 10,000 members of the world’s blockchain community from over 100 countries will attend WAGMI for America’s most prominent blockchain event. The conference is already 85% sold out, but tickets are only $1,000 before prices go up next month, and they are available for purchase here.
