Was great spending time with a lot of Bitcoiners at Surfin Bitcoin in Biarritz.
One thing I realized is that sometimes it’s not easy to debate the idea themselves and that there is a more and more natural tendency to judge an idea based on who emit it. Which is a clear paradox when we want to build trustless (or at least trust minimized systems ).
This is somewhat inevitable in the sense that not everyone can understand and participate in highly technical and complex discussions, so the trust by delegation is pretty natural to some extent.
But still I think it’s important to keep this in mind and try to focus as much as possible on debating the ideas themselves.
