I have been into #bitcoin since mid 2009 and have seen the culture around it change over the years. Wanting to see it succeed as much as anyone. But watching the stuff coming out of Bitcoin 2023 in Miami I feel bad since I can't help but find most of it very cringe inducing.

I might just be getting old and crotchety.🤣

You're not alone. It's a cringe inducing conference.

I hear air cooled helps with being crotchety 😂🫂🤘

It does! All your worries can't catch up.

That's not it. I just started with Bitcoin in February, I found a lot of it pretty cringe inducing myself. I do need to find a nice wizard costume though 🤔

The wizard thing was what put my cringe meter in the red. 🤣🤙

Completely agree.

OG status 🤯 I can’t imagine being class of ‘09 🚀

Was like nostr is now. No one realized the potential, but 14 years later we do!

OG nostrich will work 🤙

'09! You lucky bastard!

It was just cringey. Luckily the cat is out of the bag.

I haven't been keeping up all that much. Been hearing mostly shitty things. What was so bad? Lol

Might be easier to say what wasn't so bad. Cast of usual Bitcoin "influencers". Along with politicians pandering.

So... it's come to that, huh? Let's be honest, this was going to happen eventually. People love trends. 🤷‍♂️

A lotta cringe going on there. But it also looked like there were some good open source sessions that weren’t officially captured or streamed. Hopefully somebody recorded a few and they’ll show up online soon.

You could still be getting old and crotchety though. 😄🍻

Agree on the OSS side. It does seem to be a core group of people see on every nostr related...anything. Look forward to seeing more than those six or so people.

Now get off my lawn. 🤣
