The bubble is just beginning. We will see really shitty companies running really reckless strategies eventually

In five years of going to bitcoin conferences, I’ve literally never had a truly bad experience with someone. People who fly out to be at places are almost always reasonable.

To put this in context, I’ve had thousands of brief meetups over the years and nothing truly bad happened even once. The worst outcome was I had someone be slightly awkwardly clingy a few times, but nothing worse. So this is a 99.9% social uptime situation, and even the 0.1% is still okay.

I am kind of at the top end of the gray zone of security. Super-celebs have security teams and don’t walk around on the conference floor. I do personally walk around the place by myself (which yes is a friction as I get dozens of interactions and photo requests and such), and when offered security by the conference to get out, I turn it down since I find it very hectic but manageable and worth it.

People who are negative (and usually anon) online tend to either not go to these events or don’t show their face if they are there. That seems on brand. No skin in the game.

This is a positive space, and I think we’re going to win.

Been so busy that I forgot to get pumped that I get to hang with all my hommies this week!

See y’all in Vegas!

Happy Oslo Freedom Forum day!

My childhood friend capitulated near the bottom and pivoted into aerospace stocks btw . Rand0 again the last one standing

Spent the day with a legend from the early IBM research days who contributed to the advance of AI and the internet. Deeply understands how protocols develop in layers.

Guess what we talked about?
