In the epoch's twilight, it's good to look back and count your blessings:

My good friend nostr:npub12yew30e2czxuqvqkmkn532uvnsfq04v447e4hp6njsfmnxfj44eqt3z2rr lit the spark that started the nostr:npub1fceadcz5zunfrxkv33437e27z86tehs95gtc4z7wjkeexel8llrq50sy0m (Nov 2020) from which many friendships, connections and even new businesses and business relationships have formed, and are being formed

Whilst I've helped organise each one, it's everyone who turns up and contributes - some by presenting, some quietly speaking with others, some with questions, and others contributing time and 🧡

I've been blessed to be able to attend some overseas conferences too - Baltic Honeybadger where I first drank from the firehose of a pure-signal conference, and later at others like Bit Block Boom, Bitoin4India, Bitcoin Indonesia, and most recently Bitcoin Atlantis in Madeira

One thing that is common at all of these is the large overlap in world-view that bitcoiners share which makes for deep and authentic conversations. Even prominent public bitcoiners in my experience are just plebs underneath and good for a chat and to share ideas

But home is where the heart is, and very grateful for good friends in Brisbane and the Bitcoin Brisbane meetup group and the other organisers that help make the magic happen each and every month

It's been an incredible epoch and I'm grateful AF

In the immortal words of Jeff Fenech: I luvs youz all 🧡
