![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F2G64sVa.png&t=665&c=aZLg3xhLwxBGcw) Brock Pierce is an old-time philanthropist and bitcoiner (and entrepreneur, and actor)who helped implement the Bitcoin Law in El Salvador. It is only those who are courageous can take bold step to help the implementation of bitcoin in their Countries. Because most authorities are seriously fighting against the adoption of bitcoin Base on the notion that bitcoin over come the fiat currency. Brock Jeffrey Pierce notice the important of Crypto Currency more than his Political elites and created a project on cryptocurrency industry which he used to legislate the implementation of bitcoin in El Salvador. And today we have all heard and seen the strong advocate of bitcoin in El Salvador. Salvador means saviour. And paradoxically, Bitcoin is the Saviour of the world youths from no job to job, from poverty to rich and wealth. So El Salvador for adopting bitcoin, it is adopting the meaning of it name. And also means Currency in USA. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Salvador

Today Federico is releasing his interview with Brock Pierce ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F2G64sVa.png&t=665&c=aZLg3xhLwxBGcw) 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. Although Brock indeed promoted himself but for me he is humble. He acknowledge that he talk much about himself and apologized. Nevertheless, I learnt few lessons from the interview. Brock identified that for El Salvador to be successful as a bitcoin nation they need education. Education is a catalysts of bitcoin adoption. He also stated that a nation cannot be separated from politics, hence national bitcoin policies would always have political undertone. But bitcoin is above politics and has the potential to free the world from politicians, he reiterated.

Although Brock indeed promoted himself but for me he is humble. He acknowledge that he talk much about himself and apologized. I wonder if you, Zlantann, are even trying. Of course, any charlatan or scammer is going to say a lot of bullshit to attempt to make themselves seem credible.. and those kinds of folks tend to be charming too... In the end, you can believe whatever you like in terms of how believable Brock is in reality. Nevertheless, I learnt few lessons from the interview. Brock identified that for El Salvador to be successful as a bitcoin nation they need education. Education is a catalysts of bitcoin adoption.
Sure, we can speak in all kinds of general ways about what might need to be done, and I doubt that anyone would even be proclaiming that Brock is not capable of making some general assessments, whether he came up with those on his own or got those ideas from others. He also stated that a nation cannot be separated from politics, hence national bitcoin policies would always have political undertone. But bitcoin is above politics and has the potential to free the world from politicians, he reiterated.
You just seem to be begging to find some kind of an authority figure, and sure I doubt there is any kind of problem attempting to learn from people or even to consider those people as "thought" leaders, but you seem to be going far with Brock.. .. again.. I am not even considering Brock to be dumb as much as he really seems to be a kind of untrustworthy person for reasons that I have already mentioned and a lot of trustworthy folks in the bitcoin space have come to those kinds of conclusions about Brock's seeming sliminess...

After a few days of hiatus due to some US holidays, my friend at the BIP show resumed publishing some interviews they made at the conference. This concise segment is with Lyn Alden, an analyst I recommend following on Twitter: @LynAldenContact ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FhmtLsTH%2F59981082.jpg&t=665&c=Fok-5nbJlN_osA)

I watched the conference, or at least parts of it from work on CNBC. My god it was so cringeworthy. We as the bitcoin community have got to be better at not looking like such a goofy cult.
I am hoping next time they knock off all the goofy stuff and just have a normal finance conference.

Probably the conference is so big that you also need the show for the casual listener. You need the Jack Mallers and the Micheal Saylor to gather people from all around the globe, buying 14K whale wallets to finance everything you saw on the Open Source Stage. The show, the commercial part, the one you call cringeworthy, is the only way to scale up (and maybe properly finance) the amount that actually builds on bitcoin and that it's perhaps more relevant to you.

Bum! Last interview from my Friends of the Bitcoin Italia Show: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2F1mYW8c8%2F60041630.jpg&t=665&c=jEG5iQ0-HiW8Zw) Another great interview with Micheal Saylor regarding Bitcoin as thermodynamically sound money. Definitely, they saved the best for the last day!

How MicroStrategy has changed its investment strategy is always an interesting story, especially if we know what Saylor thought about Bitcoin in the past. Yet maybe someone should warn Saylor that on-chain transactions are not free as he often points out (maybe he means LN?), so even though those fees are very small, they still need to be paid.

There was much hype about the event and everyone was hopeful that bitcoin prices will recover but instead, we see some downward momentum in bitcoin. As long as there is no institutional buying, i don't see anything achieved from this conference.

Oh gawd... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I am not even sure whether I should respond to your nonsense. Do you live in the real world, or are you just trying to shit on bitcoin? Do you actually own any bitcoin? The bitcoin conference remains a kind of "holy shit" event, especially since there were around 30k people in attendance, and even a variety of shitcoin gatherings going on in the area. What else is new, the shitcoins are going to try to take advantage of bitcoin momentum if they can. Regarding bitcoin's price action, surely we have been in a kind of weird consolidation for about a year, so I would not characterize the BTC price as going down.. even though surely in recent times, the BTC price is closer to the 100-week moving average (currently at $35k) than it was in July 2021 (when BTC price dipped down to $28.6k and the 100-WMA was at about $20k at that time). You can see bitcoin's historic 100-week moving average prices here. In other words, I see no reason to get all worked up about BTC prices NOT going up exponentially or as much as people had hoped, and surely institutions and retail are ongoingly coming into bitcoin in increasing ways, and it really does not seem to be a matter of if they are coming in, but when.. so some folks take longer than others, and I don't really see any reason to label lack of moving up fast enough as some kind of BIG disappointment or even to suggest that the conference failed, which just seems to be talking out of your ass rather than really trying to grapple with the real world way that things happen... even bitcoin as a new paradigm-shifting asset class might not follow previous models or what we might believe (or expect - reasonable or not) to be some kind of preferable path forward.

Even though Bitcoin 2022 Conference was a big event, it failed to bring any positive momentum in bitcoin prices. You need to understand that these are two different events on different occasions, what have you thought about to have come to such a drastic myopic conclusion of this manner? this is just a conference, that brings people all over the world together to discuss about bitcoin as a whole, how comes it now turns to be the market demand and supply, or market capitalization or the driving force of volatility and investment? i even thought you might assume the role to have orchestrated the dip run in other to get more investors thereby increasing the rate of adoption from the impact of the conference. As long as there is no institutional buying, i don't see anything achieved from this conference. Did you attended? nor did you make a follow-up on the conference events, then i see no reason why you should see any vivid achievements about it since your participation is zero about the even, but i think those that have made history out of it will never forget the impact for life, because it's an eye opener to many hidden truth about Cryptocurrency.

I was at this conference, it was cool
Nice thanks for sharing. Which panel did you attend? What was the general feeling you got from the event? Can you add some details to the story? And above all: Did you ride the bull?
