If you had somehow found yourself deep in macro/commodity/goldbug/outdated-photos land for a weekend, and could present basically anything to this type of audience, what would you present about?

Hypothetically speaking, if "bitcoin" is your answer, a more sufficient answer would be to suggest which *specific* aspects of bitcoin to appeal to them.

I've done a few conferences like this before and I tend to focus on freedom aspects. I'm like, "who here in the audience knows who Phil Zimmerman is? Basically nobody? Okay cool, let's talk about encryption and rights and the shenanigans he went through." And then I can move that into a global perspective. "Imagine you're in Argentina. What do you do for money? So, I know a new company called Fedi that seeks to help communities build their own private full-reserve banks. Want to hear about it?"

What would you emphasize here that would connect well?

I would emphasize the oracle problem with digitizing gold/commodities and knowing that, the difficulty in using large heavy physical objects as a medium of exchange in a digital world. Most of them still think you can have a gold or commodity backed digital currency with no inherent issue in regards to its backing. The truth is the issue is fundamental and unavoidable. In order to have digital sound money it needs to be natively digital, there is no alternative yet discovered.
