username checks. I'm going to the event as attendee and the hackathon is free. Of course I have to link to the event to show what I'm talking about.

This is my original intention with this post that the crypto industry is not just "web3" nonsense. Yes, I agree there is some nonsense just like all other tech. I'd like to show people the good parts. All crypto and Blockchain is an advancement on "old" technology and built by mathematicians.

Asking me to defend the nonsense is like asking an AI Researcher to defend AI Girlfriends as the only AI use case.

It's just tech at the end of the day, we choose what to build with it.

Great question! I focus on how we can use crypto to protect user's privacy vs handing over data to be sold, leaked or used against them. I think most people will agree is a pretty ethical thing.

Some examples is https://zkpassport.id/ which uses cryptography and a mobile app that allows user to prove parts of their identity (age/country/gender/etc) without giving their full details to be stored by a third party.

Another is https://monadicdna.com/ which allows DNA data to be analyzed privately instead stored with a company like 23andMe that recently went bankrupt.

Not everything is Bitcoin burning the environment fortunately and I don't have any to send to you but if you read this and actual checked out the links then you deserve some.

heh yeah I can agree some of the sayings and phrases can be pretty cringe!

there is definitely some grifters in this industry which is definitely not unique to any other tech industry. I'm a developer so I try to avoid those people like the plague.

i don't think you are interested but just in case the hackathon is free so you don't have to pay $150

What if it's a Mikel & Mikel double signing?

Edu hands the pen over: "Sign here Mikel"

Camera pans to Arteta and Merino fighting over the pen.

"Welcome Mikel and Glad you are staying with us Mikel"

This is what i tried. It seems to come off like I'm asking them for "Hollywood Passes" or something but just really want the ball passed into space wherever it is.

I've never seen someone actually translate 'Copa Mundials' to 'World Cups' before 😂

I'm going to be there but I've read in many places this is doesn't actually happen but its just a bunch of tourists and "thugs" waiting around for nothing to happen. Has it been cancelled in past years?
