I was at a “blockchain” policy event in Ottawa last week and the most remarkable thing happened.
While everyone was schmoozing,
Jeff Booth (nprofile…hu5r) was sitting at a table talking with people.
I went over to introducing my friend to Jeff, but they appeared to be having a debate so we pulled up seats to listen.
As we were at a crypto event, I assumed it was a bitcoin v crypto debate, because it was the founder of a large Canadian digital asset hedge fund, a crypto law firm partner and a former Goldman Sachs partner, probably all in their 50s & 60s.
I shit you not, they were discussing the intricacies of running a bitcoin full node and they were in a knots vs core debate 🤣
The Goldman Sachs partner was running a node and her friend (the lawyer) wanted to run a node (her husband does).
All 3 of them had visited Bitcoin Beach on separate occasions.
Very heartening experience.
I think we’re winning!
