Had such a good experience at @BTC Prague The conference is special to be able to hit the vibe they hit while still being perfectly comfortable with great user experience.
Would do again 10 times out of 10

Bitcoin users won’t survive a society imposing purity tests. Valid Bitcoin transactions are the purity test. That’s the beauty of it.
The rest is up to the users to be the best possible versions of themselves. Some of us might survive the next 10 years.
Bitcoin is not inherently immutable.
It’s going to be a long process to co-opt humanity into making it immutable, largely by attempting every possible way to change it.
Humanity needs to determine what is immutable about ourselves before we can have a shot at having an immutable money in our rear view window.
We must evolve and upgrade ourselves to it. Understand the protocol and also understand yourself.
Nobody will do this for you and Bitcoin will no longer “moon” for us as we currently are.

Every Bitcoiner should familiarize themselves with the term “Mark to Model” before they try and understand too hard how the world operates.
Mark to Model is the intellectual dead end that killed the last remaining intelligent remnants of TradFi
Bitcoin cannot live in a Mark to Model world. This is why the capital rules treat us with such draconian impunity.
Trust me that we do not wish for this to change
Bitcoin is not a think that anyone understands. It is not money. It is not property. It is not any “thing” and you are nobody to limit it to any of these things.
Bitcoin is a clue to a bigger puzzle. The clue is not useful to people who think they already know the answer.
Bitcoin is valuable - ONLY - to people who can acknowledge that they don’t understand what it is and what it’s here for.
Perhaps it’s entire value is to make us inquirers because the people who “think they know” are most certainly NGMI
