 Confession, #BitBlockBoom was my first full on Bitcoin conference. I’ve been to single day events before. Attending alone, I was unsure how it would feel to be alone among a sea of people. Grateful that I was able to run into some Nostriches like @QW and @jonb

At the BBQ social I sat at a table with some of the great @damus contributors @tyiu @montzstar and @elsat and had a 2 hour conversation about mobile UX, iOS development, and building products for users. 💜 

I entered the conference alone and left with frens. 
 Vibing with bitcoiners irl is the best  
 It was great chatting with you. Looking forward to more in the future.  🫡 
 Great to meet you! Enjoyed talking with you. 
 This is exactly here why I attend conferences. It's for the people and the relationships you build. I'm glad you've gotten to meet all these people. 🤙🏻🫂💜 
 And a dog tag to prove it! 

I kept looking for you after we met, was hoping for some more convos. 
 Ha. I definitely need no more dog tags but it’s good to read that. 😂🙏 
 Same! Next event. 
 Ohhh that’s a fantastic story. 💜

Wish I’d read this months ago. Definitely gives me hope for future conferences. 
 Congrats freak 
 This is also Nostr! 💜 
 every journey starts with one step. 
its incredible how many that seem difficult.
