There’s a hilarious number of links to past episodes in the description for this episode because we ended up referencing so much stuff we have talked about before

Who are the people that go to this conference? Paying the fee, booking a hotel, flying to Houston. And what goal do the sponsors of this conference have? Is it all about keeping their “investor base” pumped up so that they spread the word about the goodness of web 3.0 and whatever the token de jour is?i really have trouble understanding what this conference is supposed to achieve.
I once thought the biggest lie we were told as children is that adults know how the world works. Now I believe the biggest lie I was told is that adults exist at all. Replace crypto with children talking about Pokemon and the whole thing makes more sense. It's depressing that real consequences exist from all this.

At the end of the day, it's all about self-interests, doesn't matter if it's politicians, cryptobros, landlords, CEOs, office workers etc, self-interests is the prevailing factor.
I can't stop laughing because I'm a former classmate of Erik Voorhees and I knew he has a crypto app founder of some kind... but I didn't realize he had graduated to "get fact checked during a conference" level crypto bro

Glad you witnessed it so we dont have to
"...the power of tokenized pseudonyms..." ...I think I would have walked out at that point, and try to find a session where they were speaking English.
Oh god, that whole "tokenized identity" talk has me dying inside. They nosedived into the dystopian with that shit! The idea of selling your *_fucking name_* because you're desperate for the dough it brings you is _horrifying._ I realize that they meant _usernames_ and my mind went straight to the extreme, but for me my username is basically as tied to me as my name, so it's almost just as bad.
Hooray another episode! Nice to hear from you guys.
Getting fact checked live by another speaker is hilarious

That Tokenizied identity selling is another thing that keeps proving that these Web 3 weirdo would sell their loved ones if they could, because who tf even thinks of selling an identity like that.
I am so confused about the identity stuff lol but I don't think it's me. I'm looking forward to a world where identity theft is even more literal. All my apes, gone.

Cascoin 🚀🚀🚀 all in
I always assumed that the different coins, chains and exchanges are in competition with each other. And with the community for Crypto being so... invested (both literally and emotionally) do they not get competitive and adversarial? Especially in a confined physical space like a con.
@CryptoCriticPod
Жыл бұрын
No, not particularly adversarial in my experience
Nothing says, "we told you so" like that list of previous podcasts. 😂
I can't decide if the dumbest thing said at the conference was that liquidity doesn't matter for a currency market, or that no one remembers who played Harry Potter.
Great discussion as always! Keep up the good work. You guys provide the necessary perspective on crypto
How is the CasCoin Oracle not called CASsiopeia? Edit: Gosh darn it I was thinking of CASsandra
Well, thanks for putting yourself through that, I guess.
U guys mentioned Temasek? That's the Singapore state's wealth fund. Basically a shadowy organization that invests its' citizens' CPF savings into projects/startups, more akin to a venture capitalist. They are notorious for making wrong bets, as seen with their investments in FTX, Zilingo, Luckin Coffee etc; and becuz they are protected by the ruling party, it's nigh impossible to hold temasek accountable, for their mal-investments....
I love bennet. Thats my kinda people there.
Here for cascoin rocket emoji, rocket emoji, moon, moon.
This is all unbelievable to me.
Being enforcement proof means following all the laws. It also means avoiding the perception that you're doing something unethical or illegal.
You know is going to be good when they hit you with Bitboy Crypto at the entrance xD

A good question at about the 28:30 point. If Binance actually complies with KYC, can they survive?

Finally, a yt channel that inhabits reality and the values the truth.
I have nothing to add but I thought you were going to say that guy "wasn't the next Nakamoto" but I was wrong lol. It's not your level but I was invited as press to a $800/plate breakfast in an oil town at its annual rodeo. It was all very rich oil dudes dressed up as cowboys, pissed at 10am, groping the caterers. Just ohmigolly what is wrong with rich people?

Is there an episode where @bennettftomlin talks about the whole 'censorship resistant' concept in detail? I'm curious as to what he means, as I don't exactly follow and would be interested in hearing him break it down.

If they admit they need to allow info to be private while not allowing data to be completely anonymous then that's a concession of the entire web3 thesis. We have that already and you would once again be solving a problem we don't have.
