The decentralized future is being shaped by visionaries, and one of its most influential figures is joining the stage at WAGMI, Miami’s premier blockchain and DeFi event. Michael Terpin, CEO of Transform Ventures and a foundational voice in the cryptocurrency movement, has been officially confirmed as a keynote speaker for WAGMI 2025, set to take place from January 22–24 in Miami, Florida.
As one of the earliest thought leaders in the crypto space, Terpin brings decades of experience, foresight, and real-world impact to the growing roster of innovators converging at this landmark gathering. His inclusion underscores WAGMI’s mission: to unite the most forward-thinking minds in blockchain for collaboration, discovery, and transformative dialogue.
A Pioneer in the Crypto Revolution
Michael Terpin isn’t just an observer of the crypto revolution—he helped build it. Recognized by CNBC as the “Godfather of Crypto,” Terpin played a pivotal role in launching some of the industry’s most influential projects, including Ethereum and Tether. In 2013, he founded BitAngels, the first global network of Bitcoin investors, which went on to fund Mastercoin—the world’s first initial coin offering (ICO).
Since 2014, Terpin has led Tokenize, formerly known as CoinAgenda, the longest-running investor-focused conference series in the blockchain industry. His deep understanding of market cycles and investor behavior has made him a sought-after advisor and speaker across global financial and tech forums.

Bitcoin Supercycle: Predicting the Unpredictable
At WAGMI, attendees will have the rare opportunity to hear Terpin discuss his latest work, including his best-selling book Bitcoin Supercycle: How the Crypto Calendar Can Make You Rich, published by Skyhorse Publishing. The book quickly rose to become the top new release in Amazon’s Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency category and outlines Terpin’s groundbreaking “Four Seasons of Bitcoin” model.
Developed through years of research starting in 2013, this cyclical framework predicted Bitcoin’s rise to $10,000 by 2020—when BTC was still trading below $300. The model has since evolved into a comprehensive white paper released in 2023, accurately forecasting the current bull run driven by halving cycles, institutional adoption, and macroeconomic trends.
Terpin’s insights bridge technical analysis with macroeconomic foresight, offering both retail and institutional investors a structured way to understand market momentum—without hype or speculation.
Global Influence and Industry Recognition
Terpin’s influence extends far beyond cryptocurrency circles. He has delivered keynotes at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) five times, where he was honored as a blockchain pioneer. His speaking engagements span major global events such as Consensus, NFT NYC, Future Blockchain Summit in Dubai, and numerous family office and wealth management conferences.
His presence at WAGMI signals more than just participation—it reflects a moment of convergence between early pioneers and the next generation of builders shaping decentralized finance, Web3 infrastructure, and digital asset innovation.
“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 Moe Levin, founder and organizer of WAGMI.
WAGMI: More Than a Conference
WAGMI—short for “We’re All Gonna Make It”—is not another run-of-the-mill blockchain conference. It’s a cultural movement wrapped in a high-impact industry event. Born from the creators of the North American Bitcoin Conference, WAGMI unites developers, investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers for three days of immersive learning, networking, and serendipitous collaboration.
Past speakers include Vitalik Buterin, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Mark Cuban, and Jesse Powell—names synonymous with blockchain innovation. This year’s lineup continues that legacy with confirmed appearances from Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, early Bitcoin adopter Charlie Shrem, and blockchain pioneer Nick Spanos.
With over 10,000 attendees expected from more than 100 countries, WAGMI is rapidly becoming the must-attend event for anyone serious about the future of decentralized technology.
