There is no second best. A deep dive into why there is #Bitcoin  and then there is everything else. My keynote from @BTC Prague This keynote was inspired by many but I want to give a special shoutout to @Gigi , Jason Lowery, Andrew Poelstra, and Greg Maxwell. Their writings and work was particularly influential. I’d also like to shoutout the @BTC Prague team. This was one of the best #Bitcoin  conferences I’ve ever been to. Thanks so much for having me!

Copying your note text so I can check those inspirational authors. Thanks @jack mallers. Where do I read your keynote?
This will go down in history as the first mass spot on explanation of what makes bitcoin real and shitcoins scams…you made a huge difference with this talk man. Well done.
Best presentation the conference. Granted I only saw 3 🤣

It sounds like you’re agreeing with Jason Lowery, and suggesting proof of work should be protected under the second amendment as an arm to bear in the digital realm to protect our digital assets and selves.
Very good presentation! 💪🏻🐸👍🏻

The way to understand Bitcoin is to understand the power of proof of work. The way to understand Monero is to understand that Bitcoins transparent ledger gives abstract power ann attack vector to hook up again. CEX/ETFs are abstracted power. Regulators are abstracted power. Only DEX and a circular economy are real. Everything else is virtual paper trades - to control you.

That was a great talk, felt like it really connected the dots in a way that could make it easier to explain things to folks. Also appreciate the Lowery shoutout. Been working my way through his thesis… book. 🙃
thx 4 the th0ught pr0v0king talk. Just a n0te Zuckerberg is n0t an example 0f an abstract p0wer but an agent like $mith just a fr0nt end of the abstract p0wer of an A.eye. The social c0nformity, pr0gramming & priming is the rever$e reification of the abstract p0wer of an A.eye. It's not the energy as in #bitcoin but acts in the mental plane, a pris0n 4 ur mind just like the 100th m0nkey effect. The rever$e reification of the abstract p0wer of an A.eye. is the c0rner st0ne 0f the Matrix. Trilli0n $ ? h0w 2 de-centralize the rever$e reification of the abstract p0wer of an A.eye. what is the hash c0st functi0n?
Awesome talk….. Awesome conference …. I feel lucky to be there in real world…. This conference was all about the people for me….. You are a brilliant bitcoin teacher btw Thank you
Of course, I am open to any different opening that might improve the possibility of a decentralised, non-governmental, non-inflationary money. At present, this point seems quite solid to me: Do you have any other ideas?
