I went to the Muslim Bitcoin Summit expecting conversations about Bitcoin. I left questioning some of the fundamental assumptions we make about money, faith, and financial freedom.
What made the experience particularly memorable wasn’t just the subject matter. It was the speakers who challenged me to look at familiar ideas through a completely different lens.
Harris Irfan was particularly thought-provoking. His exploration of fiat money, debt-based financial systems, and Islamic finance made me reflect on something we rarely stop to question: why have we accepted a financial system built so heavily around debt and interest as the norm?
He brought an important ethical dimension to the conversation, connecting Islamic financial principles with broader questions about what makes money fair and trustworthy.
Simon Dixon brought another powerful perspective, connecting the dots between Bitcoin, banking, technology, and financial sovereignty.
What stood out to me was the bigger picture he encouraged us to consider: Bitcoin isn’t simply an alternative asset. It raises important questions about who controls money, how financial power is distributed, and whether individuals can have greater ownership of their financial futures.
Together, their perspectives made the conversations around riba, sound money, and financial independence feel far more relevant than abstract economic debates.
But what I also loved was the atmosphere in the room.
People had travelled from different parts of the world, bringing different experiences, beliefs, and perspectives. There was a genuine curiosity about what Bitcoin could mean for communities seeking more ethical and inclusive financial systems.
Through my work exploring Bitcoin and the future of money, I’ve heard many arguments about decentralisation and financial freedom. What this summit added was a deeper conversation about the values that should underpin the financial systems we build.
I didn’t leave agreeing with everything I heard. I left with something more valuable: new perspectives, sharper questions, and a greater appreciation for why these conversations matter.
Because perhaps the most important question isn’t simply what Bitcoin can do for us, but what kind of financial future we want it to help create.

I’m taking the main stage at @nprofile…j6e6 UK 2026! ⚡️
This one is personal. From amplifying African voices through What’s Haute with Halima to joining the conversation on one of the UK’s biggest Bitcoin stages, it’s exciting to see how far this journey is taking me.
Bitcoin is more than technology. It’s about people, freedom and the future we’re building together.
If you’re coming to BitFest, let’s connect. See you there!
