Very cool compilation!
Here's another one showing bitcoin lightning transactions in SA 👀
So I got a day off today. Naturally, I spent the whole day playing Tears of the Kingdom, but I did leave the conference livestream on in the background and paid some attention to it when I'm not busy fighting a moblin or a construct. A few thoughts:
- oh the shitcoinery... I thought it was a bitcoin conference?
- too many politicians, wtf? I don't believe mass adoption will occur through politicians or nation state adoptions. Mass adoption will only occur through education and people truly understanding bitcoin.
- I like Saylor's 10 rules. Those are good advices, easier said than done though. But definitely worth mentioning to young people, or actually other people in general.
- is Mallers trying to imitate Apple? All those UI redesigns and even the slides seem very Apple like... either way, good to see another entrepreneur trying to grow their business. Personally, I don't really care about custodial services and KYC services. Let the free market decide, over the long run, if Strike is worthy or not.
- oh man, they didn't fight when talking about ordinals and inscriptions. I was looking forward to some action. Should have got Max Keiser on there, much better chance of seeing him throw some punches at those kids.
- TOTK is such a great game and I'm glad my main focus of the day was on TOTK and not the conference...
There is a huge difference between running a routing node and just running your node to plug into the rest of the network. The former is indeed more demanding, I think the latter is still very doable for a plebs.
I ran a pretty profitable node more than a year ago, even though I am not that technical. But back then, mistakes were not that costly... so in the current environment, I agree that you better know your shit, or that you learn quickly from your mistakes.
There's the backpedal I was expecting. Those are conferences too. Someone is always paying for the space food etc. You just dislike the sponsors less.
The BTC Mag conferences aren't my first choice either, I passed on both this year... but they are something interested people should experience at least once so that they appreciate the smaller conferences. Even someone on a budget could skip the conference ticket and just lobbycon / offsite parties in the area.
Just because you didn't extract value from them doesn't mean there was none to be had for someone more resourceful.
