Bitcoin 2022 Conference

[belova66]

I like this conference. I watch it with my husband 

[Zlantann]

My friend at Bitcoinitaliapodcast.it made a series of interview a few suprises here I cannot speak about, yet at the conference.
Here the first one:

These four bitcoin musketeers in this interview are extra ordinary. It was educating and entertaining. It was a Bitcoin class with humor. They showed us that the global debt level is a time bomb. Currencies of industrialised nations would keep falling until it gets to the last currency: the US dollars.

Bitcoin is the best insurance. Infact it is the financial hope of humanity. National governments know that Bitcoin is the solution but they are blinded by pride and ignorance. Most central banks are runned by outdated and rigid economist that are unwilling to learn due to pride.

This interview also showed us that we have much work to do. We must educate our people. Bitcoin education is now a top priority. To avoid revolution Bitcoin must be a generally accepted because if the people know how national financial institutions are managed there would be revolution.

I recommend this interview to all. This section will be one of my educational materials for my Bitcoin class.

Thank you fillippone for sharing.

I guess the most significant thing to come out of this was the Shopify integration thing? Because that would make use of the bitcoin lightning network to allow fees ~0% rather than the ~3% in case of Visa. And people don't even have to deal with BTC if they don't want to, retailers can chose to settle payments in any currency they want, it just gets converted to BTC and then fiat.

So no need to worry about volatility too. I didn't find the rest of the stuff that interesting. Only the above might cause an increase in exposure of BTC in the short-mid term imo.

Yes. But not only the Shopify integration but integration to brick and mortar stores via Poin of Sale payment terminals too.

These type of places are very important for crypto, it allows people to actually follow up on what is going on around the world and it does provide people meeting up with other people and how they could connect and build things together or merge their powers together etc etc. It also allows people to realize their dreams, either achieve them or even maybe realize that they can't do it because someone else tried or failed and gives a good reason.

Moreover, it is always good for people who participate, you do not have to, it is not a must, but if you do, I am sure that it does bring a level of benefits to people who go there and meet with people, that is what this is, a great networking method.

I have a thing with that bitcoin bull:
That is the top chart.

I think it is quite an easy feat for a professional bull rider!

Does anybody have any updates on this one? I had no luck in finding anything since Thursday and as it stands, "Jeff Gum ^{[Navy SEAL]}" might be the winner of 1 BTCitcoin with the record of 151.41!

The issue with that is the fact that they're not the first company to achieve such a thing ^{[here's my explanation on another thread]} and regardless of being 1% cheaper than the one I mentioned in there, I don't think it's going to have the same type of impact as their other two partnership agreements.

I have been told the current leader is Aaron Rodriguez with 220 seconds. Looking for photographic evidence.


Edit:

Picture from the place taken Saturday at noon.


The competition is currently ongoing until 3:00 PM local time.


EDIT2:
Jeff Won.
After a little bit of Drama by Aaron (he beated Jeff's record, albeit he rode at 3:03,after the official closing time) the jury declared him winner of the 1 BTC.

[pawanjain]

Wow, that's really amazing. I wish I could have got the opportunity to see this conference for real but may be the next time I will.
It's great that we are still able to get a virtual feel of it by watching the streams. But these streams are too long to watch.
Does anyone has any idea where can we read/watch the highlights of this conference. It would be time saving and worth it.

[fillippone]

My friends at Bitcoinitaliapodcast.it nailed another very good interview:




They are going to release some new content everyday. I am going to post them here, as I think they are not exactly mainstream, so I guess you can find some content overlooked by others.


This is the video mentioned in the interview:

What a edge to edge win and he will always remember this bull run win and how healthy the bull run will him for future also if he stick to his bitcoin holding for another couple of years.Winning one full bitcoin at this time is so cool and unexpected when you are able to stash some sats for thousands of dollars.Jeff has made his bull way out.

You are having quite a lot of friends covering this whole conference in Miami @fillippone giving you ground report for this whole event.

Will post my other opinions about this conference soon once i finished having look on all the updates by you and my overall observation.

Without ruining my opsec I would say I have more of less 10 people in my phone book there, and I would say 3 of them I could ring any moment (and actually did to snap pictures of the bull chart).

I would definitely like to be there in the coming years, maybe when the whale ticket will be 0.005 BTC!

[fillippone]

Hopefully I am doing a good service for you with those videos




Hope you like those, as they often serve as hints for discovering new resources, speeches, and generally digging deeper into the Bitcoin rabbit hole.
Please, give me some feedback on this!

It's way better than the previous interview ^{[IMO, that one was quite short or maybe I just prefer listening to mining-related discussions more than the other fields]}... Everything that Jimmy mentioned in the "decentralized peer-to-peer lightning-based apps" part was new information for me ^{[Sphinx seems great, but I'm looking more forward to what Zion can bring to the table]}.
^{- Thank you for sharing this interview}

Glad you liked it. Of course, every one of us has peculiar preferences regarding topics to be covered. Hopefully the guys @BIP will be able to provide us with a good mix of everything.

[fillippone]

Another nice interview.



I know what the host of the show think about the legal tender de facto , and I am glad he didn’t go full berserk with Excellion!

Bitcoin is the true survivor. Bitcoin is dealing with more parasitic shitcoins every year. It's still winning, though. Over 15k shitcoins, Bitcoin has a market capitalization dominance of 41%. Bitcoins are much older, and have handled the difficulties much better. People trust it so much that they will keep investing in it in the coming days.

Today Federico is releasing his interview with Brock Pierce



Brock Pierce is an old-time philanthropist and bitcoiner (and entrepreneur, and actor)who helped implement the Bitcoin Law in El Salvador.

Today Federico is releasing his interview with Brock Pierce



Brock Pierce is an old-time philanthropist and bitcoiner (and entrepreneur, and actor)who helped implement the Bitcoin Law in El Salvador.

I would not characterize Brock Pierce as some kind of an honorary Bitcoin maximalist, even though for sure, Brock did get into bitcoin quite early, and surely he likely made a shit-ton of money off of bitcoin.  From my understanding of Brock's own story, he would have been quite receptive to bitcoin in Bitcoin's early days based on how much he had been involved in various aspects of promoting gaming when he was a younger person (like in his teenage years), so he surely has some knowledge and insight to the cryptocurrency space - but he is likely not much of a pure bitcoiner as much as he does seem capable of talking the bitcoin maximalist talk when it suits him.

I did watch that video, since it was ONLY 16 minutes, so I did not want to speak out of school regarding anything that Brock might have said during the interview, and I will point out that even though within that interview Brock strives to characterize his lil selfie as some kind of a modest benevolent bitcoiner, there is some need to take Brock's representations with a pretty BIG grain of salt - since there are reasons that Brock is not really liked or trusted amongst a lot of bitcoiners.  I would characterize Brock as a self-promoter, a bit of a narcissist who want to proclaim himself to be way more important than he actually is, and quite a bit of a shitcoiner and deceptionist in terms of both trying to assert that he is not a shitcoiner and his various shitcoin attempts are in the best interest of bitcoin including his involvement in the bitcoin foundation, his involvement in GOX, his involvement in EOS, and even some of the criticism that he received for showing up in El Salvador as a kind of opportunist in terms of the Photo opportunity at that time..  

The interviewer started to go down the road of proclaiming that CZ (of Binance) is a kind of weird shitcoiner, and sure I would agree that CZ has some shitcoining aspects to running a multi-coin exchange, so it was a bit strange to see Brock defending CZ as not necessarily a shitcoiner, and when it comes down to the truth of the matter, I doubt that CZ is less disingenuine than Brock in regards to shitcoinery or any other topic - and most likely the average OG bitcoiner is likely to distrust Brock more than CZ.. just because Brock is known to be divisive character in a lot of the things that he involves himself and ongoingly self promoting, which likely is not completely untrue that Brock has done fabulous things, but many OG bitcoiners still don't really trust Brock very much.. so who knows as far as Brock's personal character goes, and probably my whole point in my response is not to get into any kind of battle regarding who is the worser or greater of the bitcoiners, even though it seems that Brock was interviewed in a bit of a softball kind of way.. and I am not even saying that softball interviews might not be valid in their own right.. in order to just allow the interviewee speak freely or for the interviewee to interview the interviewer, which also was a decent part of their back and forth 16-minute conversation.

Edited:  Added some clarification to my first paragraph.
