Whew.
Bitcoin conferences can be really overwhelming. So much social interaction and the enjoyment of it all can really push one to some of their physical and mental limits without realizing it. I always try to just take a bit down time each conference day to just sit and be quiet—it really helps me recharge.
Since I'm a tourist, I ended up hitting Venice Beach after the PB2023 conference today - alone - to walk and enjoy the sun, surf, and people watching.
Wise words for introverts and extroverts alike 🙏🏼
I find that Bitcoiners are less draining of my social energy than normies. I also don't feel the need to wear my social masks quite so diligently & tightly.
There always comes a point where I need to retreat to a quiet place and recharge that social battery though.
Some of the best & unlikely social interactions occur in those quiet places with other introverts who're also recharging.
