When Jeff and Angelo talk about Nakamoto’s Kampamoto, they don’t start with ticket sales or famous speakers. They talk about their families. About meaningful conversations.
About an island in the middle of a lake where Bitcoiner and his family can separate and reconnect with each other from technology.
“When Saylor made his initial investment in August 2020, I went to everything.” Jeff explains. “Read all the books that can be, all the podcasts that can be, all the junk. And I’m completely down the rabbit hole, I’m continuing the deep rabbit hole.”
For Angelo, the journey was surprisingly similar. “In March and April 2020, I definitely saw the world and looked like a “holy cow.” ” He remembers. “That’s when I really started my journey through a rabbit hole.”
But there was something missing in both of them: the actual connection.
“After three or four years as a bitcoiner, my only interaction with the other bitcoiner was online.” Angelo share.
“At that point, I was deep inside a rabbit hole. A big chunk of my net worth was transferred to Bitcoin. I loved it and didn’t know another soul in my real life in the same position. I was driving my family nuts.”
That’s when Angelo decided to attend his first Bitcoin Meetup, Massadoption, where he met Jeff.
In their conversation, Angelo stated that he was the manager of the camp, and Jeff saw the opportunity immediately, “What a great place to throw a Bitcoin retreat, and that’s why Nakamoto Kamp was born.”
More than just another Bitcoin event
Unlike typical Bitcoin conferences and consecutive presentations and networking sessions, Camp Nakamoto offers something different. A simple hideaway on Sandy Island. Families can gather in their cabins by the lake, away from the constant distractions of modern life.
“Generally speaking, the main focus is making money.” Angelo makes a note of a typical entrepreneurial venture. “And in this case, it’s not really the main focus. The main focus is to create something in the world of Bitcoin. That’s the main mission.”
Jeff emphasizes this emotion and echoes: “The benefits here aren’t our number one incentives. We’ll take all these like-minded people together and leave with something bigger that affects our soul.”
He added: “This is something that changes the soul. I hope that it is an annual event that actually comes with the soul. In other words, it builds you as a human being.”
The magic of shared food and real connection
One of the most powerful aspects of Nakamoto’s experience is the community dining hall where everyone on the island gathers to eat three times a day.
“There’s a bell that rings for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And everyone on the island file at the cafeteria at the same time.” Angelo explains. “It creates this face-to-face touchpoint that happens. You wake up and eat with 180 people.”
“You say, ‘What are you going to do today?” Then you leave and have breakfast, then meet again at lunch, ‘How are you doing, what do you want to do this afternoon?’ And you make your afternoon, you see again for dinner. ”
These regular face-to-face interactions create rhythms that promote authentic connections. This is becoming more and more rare in today’s digital world.
Teamwork Behind the Magic
Nakamoto Campamoto may seem like a simple concept, but Bitcoiners gather on islands, but logistics are not simple. Luckily, both founders bring complementary skills to the table.
“I’m really grateful to be working with Jeff, because from my perspective the most difficult part is what Jeff brings to the table of spades.” Angelo says. “When we drove down the island, we dialed it in. We know what we’re doing.”
With five years of experience managing Sandy Island, Angelo has mastered the complex logistics of running the island.
“Turn people on and off, luggage on and off, food on and off, garbage, linen, linen, logistics, you can’t imagine how much it is. But I have a group of people this is their gig.”
Jeff handles the connections of the Bitcoin community, with his extensive entrepreneurial background. “I’ve been an entrepreneur for probably nearly 40 years, and this is another entrepreneurial venture. It’s just a part of my DNA.”
The success of previous events, including two Freedom Festivals, has built up confidence. “Stoping the two Freedom Festivals gave me full confidence in my crew.” Jeff says. “Everyone brings something unique to the table. When we come together, it’s much bigger than our portions’ total.”
Being a part of Bitcoin’s history
The founders had a humorous response when they were encouraged to share what questions they would ask Nakamoto Atoshi if given the opportunity. Jeff quit “I just want to make sure he’s not part of the CIA.” While Angelo was joking, “Are you married? I don’t care that you have all his bitcoins in the wealth of our family.”
But beyond humor there is a deep understanding that they create something historical. “I imagine this. If everything goes as far as we think it’s going on, then this is part of history.” Jeff emphasizes. “Get off the couch and become a part of history. Get involved in life and become literally part of Bitcoin history.”
Nakamoto aims to become more than just another Bitcoin event. These two founders and their teams offer Bitcoiners and Precoiners. This is an opportunity to separate from technology and reconnect with important things, such as innovative ideas to drive families, communities and Bitcoin.
As screens and artificial intelligence become more and more dominant in our lives, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to retreat, breathe fresh air and remember being human.
For those interested in taking part in this unique Bitcoin Family Retreat, Nakamoto will be taking place on Sandy Island in October. Angelo said that was the best:
