My experience of Bitcoin 2023 is vastly different from how Twitter documents it. I saw no wizards, I evaded shitcoiners and ambitious shills for sport.

But I got what a big deal Bitcoin is. I got a lot of honest assessments of the problems we face and the best current thinking around how to navigate them.

I got that US Presidential candidates care about us - some enough to meet us in the rabbit hole, others enough to tell us how they wish to use us.

I also got that plebs are winning and have boundless energy to build. This is what I take home as I challenge myself to be a value adder and producer for this special community.
