My reply to Kevin Owocki who understandably, laments what was #EthDenver and the industry's changing vibe in a recent post on X. (He is a visionary with new ways of governing that has been a leading contributor to unifying the ETH developer ecosystem with Gitcoin and the many grants their foundation provided. Get past Maxi and start reading about quadratic funding and new ways to gain consensus/lead. Bitcoin can leverage these models.) ---- I feel it too. I sometimes (rarely Bitcoin because few VCs fund it:)) attend events from Thailand to Miami that feel the way San Francisco did during the dot com boom. Similar to the #NFT brovado :). It's a combo of #euphoria, #gluttony, #speed, and #glitter. Like a sugar rush with little substance and lots of #VCspend. I know many of us chose this path for the promise of #decentralization and #freedomofexpression. We chose it for #privacy, for #newgovernance, for creating the next more beautiful world. You've put so much effort into your projects. #2022 was heartbreaking for #advancedtech and loving teams that suffered from the rape and pillage of an industry created by degens that wanted another way. I can imagine it is hard to see another #memecoin distract from the purpose. Yet it is all possible. We are just getting started. I've been through lots of #boomandbust at the hands of the unconscious. Yet, we are waking up now and we will have #AI, #Blockchain, and #emergingtech to guide the way with loving arms. I'm in service to #Bitcoin now as I feel it is #source #energy. And, there are other projects like Verus that can amplify the goodness in #Bitcoin and your projects. Remember why we created #forums and #community. The #tech was our excuse to be together... To build...to rise. I'll miss #EthereumDenver as I'm far away, yet I spent 23 years in the #startupecosystem in #Colorado. I know who you are and what you feel like. Go with the intention that you will find your sisters and your brothers and you will exhale and breathe together. Remember what our community feels like. WE ARE #GIVEFIRST. We own that #Ethos. We are the feeling of #welcome. Look past the distractions, the #shitcoins, and #vaporware. Find each other. Remember why you came to #tech, #startups, #web3, even #ETH. You believed in something, and your #sacredheart led you. Let it lead again. Find each other, and let's build this more beautiful world. All of us, together. #CryptoCommunity #BlockchainRevolution #Web3Vision #DecentralizedFuture #BitcoinSourceEnergy #TechForGood #InnovationWithHeart #PurposeDrivenTech #StartupsWithSoul #FreedomOfExpression #SacredHeart #BuildTheFuture #CommunityFirst #TogetherWeRise #NewWorldBuilders #DecentralizedDream #Web3Sovereignty #TechWithPurpose #AwakenedInnovation #ExhaleTogether #TheConspiracy #ShiftTheGame #ServeAll #PowerThePeople #TheConspiracy **funny the AI captured how few women there were back then. Accurate. I think I've also trained him to love Bitcoin:). image
I will have an online version of this event for my network of women angels, VCs, founders, and investors because I believe Bitcoin can change how we invest in innovation, the arts, philanthropy ... and... women. Bitcoin & The Path to Freedom & Sovereignty A conversation for women committed to investing in themselves and being stewards of our brighter future $34 trillion will move to women by 2030, yet even the women investors and venture capitalists I know don’t feel comfortable asking questions about money or Bitcoin. This Thursday at the Jade Temple in Koh Phangan, I’m opening a safe space for women to learn about Bitcoin, understand money, and explore how this revolutionary technology can empower us to care for ourselves, our families, and our communities. Bitcoin empowers us to be our highest Selves. Because… Bitcoin is more than money; it's a tool for freedom, sovereignty, and self-trust. No pressure, no judgment - this will be a relaxed, free gathering to connect, learn, and exhale. Want to join? Click here for details and to save your spot or sign up for the online experience.

I am aware that my understanding of new technologies, Bitcoin, the news, even other people is very much defined by the information I consume. How do I value the medium? My knowingness of lived experiences is the only true understanding yet even that is colored. I know censorship and vaccine injury. Objective right? You can see evidence right? I may know what I experience in a relationship and that may be vastly different than the other person's experience. I can only be a stoic archer. I can send my arrows out with the intention that what I convey in my words and action is love. I have no persuasion. New info will come. Time or those who manage a narrative provide another view of the story. People may turn towards or away. I have no control over their perceptions. And as much as I would love to have people feel my goodness and validate that as truth, who says what is good? I am the stoic archer. I shoot my arrows of love with the intention that they leave a resonance of calm and nurturing in their wake. I do want people to feel they can exhale, that they are home, that being with me elevates their vibration. Yet, even that's a hook. Another place to be captured. I shoot my stoic arrow of love and then I must let go of any attachment to how they land. I set my intention and let go. #theconspiracy #serveall #goodness #perception image
