Kudos to you Peter. An amazing line up of heavyweights that walk the talk. The ability to pull together guests that has substance reflects the hard work you and Danny do.
It has been noticed. Thank you.

[@freezyAndHaze]

Obi has a pretty sick v-shape .. bro has been doing rows or mad amounts of pull-ups.

[@markpalmer8083]

😍

[@siegelfilmsweddingvideo]

😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing

[@TheRealDerekS]

😂 you get V'd up when you get B'd up!

[@paulochinho]

V-shaped recovery, shall we say 😂🤣💪

[@freezo-1971]

Legendendary Panel!
Respect to all of you and please keep on going what you do, we will keep on doing what we do!

[@Alwayslearning426]

Great job Natalie. ❤

[@euphniel]

This was a very good panel. All signal, and well moderated.

[@BillHehn]

Fascinating discussion

[@Shaflugi]

Love seeing people actually putting in the work talk shop! More devs, less influencers.

[@azdjedi]

All made really interesting points. Nwosu and calle rock

[@MoneyMcCombs]

We need both! This is beautiful

[@TheRealDerekS]

BTC Conference panels are like superhero squads

[@d.c4508]

Anyone know where I could find the Natalie Smolenski talk (from DC?) that they were referring to? Link?

[@Alwayslearning426]

6:16 Perfect! ❤

[@cleaningup12]

What is it with these central European Bitcoiners that are so easy to listen to. Shout out to Calle and also Gigi

[@Alwayslearning426]

10:29 Gotta love bitcoiners! ❤️ Thanks Obi

[@adrianosverko6601]

Instead of philosophy, explain how a transaction on Lightning isnt in a ledger that can trace someone who owns some account. Thats what we need to hear if you expect support.

[@JessePike5]

I like money

[@evansfanily7510]

Never heard Obi before but fuuuuuck

[@zorg621]

Good content, please don't support ledger

[@BTC_Reef]

Who is the burn victim on stage?

[@Cronus6]

Hurrrrrr durrrr

[@21SpielSatsSieg21]

Why is this dude masked 😂

[@TruthBeToldAlways100]

Because this was being filmed and what he’s working on makes him a dissident. These guys are working on L2 solutions that completely disintermediate the state and the banking system.

[@Shaflugi]

Calle is working on perfectly private payments software. That makes him a target for a lot of governments.

[@miller3441]

@@TruthBeToldAlways100 guy wants attention and is a dipshit, dude will look back on this and be so cringed out he did that

[@ledhed4099]

Americans pretending Bedford is not a dump 😂

[@markpalmer8083]

Why does the dude have his face covered like a criminal? Doesn't do anything for the reputation of Bitcoin.

[@bahmak2003]

You must be stu pid? It’s what his saying that’s important, not his face! 😂😂😂

[@IVIagicful]

If you had copious amounts of bitcoin, would you want to signal to the whole world who you are?

[@kthomsen12]

People don’t know his real world identity. When people know it they could be targeted for your money or your positions etc. Some people just don’t want that in their lives. One other thing this could bring awareness to is what privacy means. Not many of us would want our Salary / Networth / or Bitcoin holdings posted above the threshold of our Homes either.

[@nichole2757]

It only has a negative impact on intellectually lazy people who don’t bother to do their own research.

[@Shaflugi]

You work on private payment software and then go put your face in front of a bunch of cameras in foreign countries. See what happens ;)
