How old you were then also matters. I didn’t experience much as I was young and poor, but eager to explore the world. By the time I could, things pivoted hard because of this.
I think many of them are hoping to break into the bigger industry and use the small stuff as their resume builders. Maybe many of them eventually realize it’s better to just stick to the shorts now anyway. The general idea has been the same all these years just before it was low budget grass roots films, but now it’s shorts and such. The churn of people is quite real here too. It’s a hard industry to crack so I’m sure attempting the shorter videos costs less to produce and also builds followers without all the big industry political game.
As an LA resident, it’s due to the film industry prestige legacy connection everyone comes here for. Lots of people think Hollywood is where they need to be to succeed in film whether it’s the big screen or the mobile one. There’s lots of young eager talent here ready to do whatever it takes to win. Plenty of it has split off right now to other locations too like Atlanta and Austin, but these all eventually cycle out the same way Vancouver, BC was once a major film hub and has lost that edge long ago. Through it all Hollywood still has the name and connections.
Pacific Bitcoin tomorrow, who else is going?
When the wife’s away, the cat will… go feast like a king 👑
Bloody crap news.
My ESTA was unexpectedly rejected to the states.
The airline won’t check me in and the USA certainly won’t let me in ⛔️
I’m stuck in Lima, Peru 🇵🇪
I’m devastated. I can no longer speak at Pacific Bitcoin.
I’m now struggling to find a way home to Europe as most layovers pass through the States 🇺🇸
I’m really sorry to let everyone down, particularly Cory, P, Stephen and the Swan team.
I was really looking forward to Pacific and just soaking up the LA bitcoin vibe.
At some point over the past month, my ESTA status changed and I wasn’t notified. I checked it before flying to Peru in early September.
I keep a copy of my esta on my phone and didn’t think to log in to the esta dashboard before flying to the states for the third time this year.
Ive searched and the rejection is undoubtedly because of me being in Cuba for the bitcoin documentary I shot there.
Im surprised as @RunwithBitcoin flew to the states successfully yesterday and he was in Cuba as well.
Either way, gotta learn from this and move on.
Next steps.
- work out how to get home.
- find some work to cover the $3k expense of this monumental kerfuffle.
- book an appointment with the British embassy to explain that I am in fact not a Cuban collaborator for a new visa.
- be less of a moron.
I’m really sorry. Hope you’re having a better day than me.
And to those going to Pacific, please send it 🧡

Sorry to hear. I’ll be there and was curious to see your panel.
I’m still giving away zaps on my trivia and text based RPG 😛
Watching these weird bots reply back and forth to each other is bizarre, annoying, and yet fascinating 🤦♂️
Blew my mind when I saw in some parts of the US they run supermarkets too.
Thanks weird bot
Kermit’s lost it and on a bender. It really wasn’t easy being green. Miss Piggy dumped his ass. 🐸 
Found him! Now I’m scared. 
My 5 year old wanted to take my picture. Probably the best he’s done. He said to sit like a frog 🐸🐸
