Der Babelfisch übersetzt alles, was jemand hört - und hat mehr und blutige Kriege verursacht als jedes andere Lebewesen. Ganz so dramatisch sind automatisierte Übersetzungen im Web noch nicht, geärgert habe ich mich trotzdem.

The conference is over now. I likely wouldn't have come for just a bitcoin thing, but I am very interested in redecentralizing the web, so it's attachment to the nostr day pulled me in.
Everyone I met was friendly and interesting and seems much more interested in making a better money system than in making money for themselves.
Our government and bank money systems are dysfunctional in all kinds of ways which are often less visible than they should be too people using them, especially to those in Europe and America who benefit from the way those systems exploit the global south.
I'm not convinced that fixing that would end wars and fix broken government as some seem to think, but I am sure our money is the source of many problems.
There are many bright, well meaning, and intelligent people building to improve bitcoin in fascinating ways with the hope of having a parallel system to transition to. With lots of work still to be done.
Can it work?
I'm sure I don't know, and I'm sure even if it's a better system it'll come with it's own unfairness and cruelty. Money will continue to be a source of suck and worry.
I'm told that the bigger conferences are often full of shitcoin scammers and suit wearing banksters who are in fact all in it too get rich and rip people off, but I found none of that here.
Here there is a real community of people trying to make the world a better place and improve the lives of their neighbours and governance of their countries.
And in the end building community is the most radical and effective way to change the world regardless of the problems of it's money system.
I had a great time. Thanks to those organising it.

Some years back my wife made the front page of the Wall St. Journal. They did a piece about how she made up fake data (names, locations, dates, CV, etc) to feed to social media in order to disrupt data linking.
We are one of the few places that has a paper copy of the highly prescient HEW report from 1973 that warned of the dangers of the now ubiquitous practice of data linking.

Der digitale Omnibus der EU hat endlich die richtige Richtung. Die Kommission räumt im Datendschungel auf – ein ehrgeiziger Versuch, den eigenen Bürokratieturm zu entschlacken. Risiken? Immer. Aber lieber ein Omnibus zur Vereinfachung als noch ein Paragrafendschungelbus, meint (natürlich) die #FAZ #EU
