My biggest takeaways from the Bitcoin Conference

1. Matt Odell can’t take a joke (from a comedian he hired to be on his own show) and it’s actually worrisome to me how bad he is at it. An exercise in humility is warranted given how many people rely on his leadership

2. The next 4 years are going to be the craziest in my 50 years of life and I’m not prepared.

3. Privacy will continue go be reduced to a niche movement.

4, Ross Ulbricht should not be in prison but he became a virtue signal at the conference. Nobody seems to be putting pressure to discuss Samourai when they broke no laws and is a far more meaningful and consequential situation to Bitcoin.

5. There are young guys in the space who inspire the hell out of me and it’s good to know that there are people who will fight the good fight.

6. Bitcoin is great and doesn’t GAF about the circus. It’s the constant.

My bullshit detector went off on Odell years ago. Take all these characters with a grain of salt and do not idolize any of them.

Don’t get me wrong. He’s good at what he does. I just think his performance revealed something he should check in on.

Being a leader requires being willing to grow and doing so. You can’t really lead if you can’t handle 10 minutes of a comedian you hand picked to entertain your fans on your show.

You will be an easy target.

I want better for Odell and the people who learn from him. He’s a good Bitcoiner - but we need to make each other better.
