Mulling over the differences of Oslo vs. Vegas. In vegas a lot of talks lead you to check the price. Oslo talks remind me why I am a bitcoiner. I did not check the price at all while there. I am not in bitcoin to get rich. But what an amazing side effect that wealth could come from making the world a better place. Bitcoin is truly a rising tide.

Did you do any cooking while you were in Oslo? If so I’m sorry I missed it. I want to do a beefsteak during Arendalsuka (norways largest political conference)

I want to go to Oslo now too. This was the first year I attended the Bitcoin conference. It was strange. I felt like I had gaydar for ride or die freaks. You can totally tell who they are. I just walked up to people who set off my sat-spidey senses waiting for an Uber and said, "Hi. I'm Marc. What's your npub?" They all had one. It was amazing.

It's not us. It's the people who say, "BTC." I couldn't believe how many people were checking the price on their phone while my heros were talking.

Same. That's why I don't tell people about bitcoin anymore. They only want to talk about dollars. That's all they care about. They work jobs they hate until their old for dollars. It's kind of a bummer.

Realising that you are richer from USING Bitcoin rather than HODLing it is a step many Bitcoiners still need to take

Price and freedom go hand in hand. You cant have one without the other in Bitcoin.
