I wrote a post on @whtwnd.com about sustaining events.
This also explains why I am pushing @c-base.org events like @bhnt.c-base.org away from meetup towards @smokesignal.events and encourage new events like @swapfest.berlin or HashBerg to use it in the first place.

Are you Vitalik or are you my mom?
* @hudsonjameson.com, Polygon, will tackle the question: how paranoid should we be about wallet security? From threat assessment to crypto inheritance, he'll guide us, whether casual holders or treasury signers, through building a security process that’s smart but not overcomplicated.

Rough draft of vision for ETHBrno hackathon in October: "Decentralized Tool Independence"
Very unattractive topics that are super important. Do you think it's realistic it will attract at least ~100 hackers?

After inaugurating Protocol Berg at the historic Heeresbäckerei, we are excited to host the next edition in another stunningly beautiful venue: The Colosseum.
Constructed ~1892 for the horse railway, it served as a cinema for many years thereafter.

Bluesky is such a good app now and has a large, humble community. I don't understand why crypto people still default to X with platform lock-in and pay-to-engage mechanics. Let's free ourselves.

Ethereum became the most important blockchain ecosystem without any marketing but yet again we have this discussion over and over again in 10 years.

Vendors that accept only credit cards and reject private cash or crypto payments strongly infringe your privacy and you should call them out.
So, stop complaining about shops that don't accept credit cards and get used to carry cash every day.
