What happens when machines can transact with each other? We’re entering a world where AI agents won’t just answer questions or automate tasks. They’ll be able to make decisions, access services and move value on their own. That raises a bigger question: what kind of financial rails should they use? At Sovereignty Summit, the Technology & Innovation pillar will explore how Bitcoin, Lightning and autonomous systems are beginning to intersect. From AI agents paying for services in real time, to machine-to-machine payments and software that can operate without relying on traditional banking infrastructure, this is one of the most fascinating frontiers in technology. It’s not just about making payments faster. It’s about building systems that are open, programmable and capable of operating across borders without asking permission from a central intermediary. The technology is moving quickly. The conversation about how we build it matters just as much. 📍 Coronet Peak, Queenstown, New Zealand 🗓️ 2–3 April 2027 Tickets: sovereigntysummit.nz/tickets @thebitcoinbasin #SovereigntySummit #Bitcoin #AI #Lightning

Speaker Announcement: Nacho Pauls What happens when Bitcoin mining becomes more transparent, more distributed and more accessible to individual miners? We’re excited to welcome Nacho Pauls to Sovereignty Summit 2027. Nacho is the Chief Commercial Officer at OCEAN, where he focuses on commercial strategy, Bitcoin mining decentralisation and expanding the reach of DATUM - technology designed to give individual miners greater control and transparency. A Bitcoin early adopter, former athlete and lifelong learner, Nacho brings deep experience across corporate development, strategy, operations, digital assets, mining and energy. His work is centred on strengthening the resilience and security of the Bitcoin network by supporting a more decentralised mining ecosystem and helping miners operate with greater independence. At Sovereignty Summit, Nacho will bring a practical perspective on Bitcoin mining, decentralisation and why the way the network is built matters just as much as how it is used. 📍 Coronet Peak, Queenstown, New Zealand 🗓️ 2–3 April 2027 Tickets: sovereigntysummit.nz/tickets Connect with Nacho: X: @nachopauls Instagram: @nacho.pauls LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/nacho-pauls-… @thebitcoinbasin #SovereigntySummit #Bitcoin #BitcoinMining #Decentralisation #Mining #FreedomTech #SoundMoney #Queenstown

Speaker Announcement: Daniel Batten What if one of Bitcoin mining’s biggest criticisms could become part of the solution? We’re excited to welcome Daniel Batten to Sovereignty Summit 2027. Daniel is a founder-coach and technology investor who, through an unexpected turn, became a Bitcoin mining researcher known for his work on Bitcoin and energy. After co-founding a New Zealand bioinformatics company that exited in 2019, Daniel went on to launch CH4 Capital, which funds Bitcoin mining projects that turn landfill methane into usable power. His work sits at the intersection of energy, technology and environmental innovation, exploring how Bitcoin mining can be used in ways that capture waste, create value and rethink how energy systems operate. Outside Bitcoin, Daniel has taught Art of Living breathwork since 2007 and now lives with his wife and daughters in Costa Rica. As Daniel puts it, he’s interested in turning waste into power — from landfill gas to human potential. At Sovereignty Summit, Daniel will bring a fresh perspective to the conversation around Bitcoin, energy and sustainability, and what becomes possible when we look at old problems through a different lens. 📍 Coronet Peak, Queenstown, New Zealand 🗓️ 2–3 April 2027 Tickets: sovereigntysummit.nz/tickets Connect with Daniel: X: @DSBatten Facebook: @danielsbatten Instagram: @danielsbatten @thebitcoinbasin

Speaker Announcement: Azuraye Wycoff What if a local economy could work more like an ecosystem? We’re excited to welcome Azuraye Wycoff to Sovereignty Summit 2027. Azuraye is the founder and operator of Yellow Barn Farm in Boulder, Colorado, where she runs six interconnected businesses as one regenerative economy - spanning composting, local food distribution, events, landscaping and regenerative agriculture. Her work is built around a different way of thinking about infrastructure: money moves like water, businesses grow like a root system, and resources cycle back into the land they came from. Through Yellow Barn Farm, Azuraye is demonstrating what local resilience can look like in practice, creating systems where food, business, community and land support one another rather than operating in isolation. She also writes The Stalk Market Times, a weekly column exploring food, systems and the economics of staying put. At Sovereignty Summit, Azuraye will bring a practical perspective to the Food, Farming & Land pillar, exploring how regenerative thinking can strengthen local economies, communities and the places we call home. 📍 Coronet Peak, Queenstown, New Zealand 🗓️ 2–3 April 2027 Tickets: sovereigntysummit.nz/tickets Connect with Azuraye: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/azuraye-wyco… Instagram: @azuraye72 Yellow Barn Farm: @yellowbarn.farm Website: yellowbarn.farm Nostr: npub1amzlyj9xgeqzvq5nez89aaejpvdj9pskpq8m5gu3sfqhcnylnlcqh7qeuw @thebitcoinbasin
