🎧 I talk with bradjpn (npub1cnd…xq6k) about the problem with the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong.
I knew there would be some ordinal-related stuff which I wanted to verify for myself, but I was not expecting the sheer degree of emphasis on this.
Alongside the overall VC, compliance & KYC, public mining, and financial services direction of the conference it was all very disappointing.
As we explore, I have come to question BTC Inc. and Bitcoin Magazine's motivations, their choice of sponsors and programming, and their commitment to Bitcoin as freedom and privacy tech.
Bitcoin is resilient and anti-fragile, but I can’t help but wonder if this conference and the so-called BitcoinMagazine (npub1t8a…56yu)
are not part of a broader attack that uses the affinity of the Bitcoin brand to nullify the ongoing imperative for sound money, self-custody, decentralisation, and self-sovereignty?
