Over the past 4 weeks, it has been pretty incredible the number of people who approached me at events and mentioned that they got into crypto because of the London workshops (2018) or the online classes (2018/2022) that I helped teach.
Folks travelled from various parts of Scotland and Europe to go to the workshops; during the peak depth of a crypto bear market.
I think the lesson is that it may take years for the fruit of one’s labour to blossom. Even if folks don’t talk to you afterwards; they are making some big life decisions based on it.
What is crazier is that crypto is a magnitude bigger than when the workshops took place. Bigger than I could have ever imagined. That era is probably not repeatable, but so much to look forward too 🙆🏻♀️🥹
Not sure people realize that the ArbitrumDAO pulled off some miracles last year with bootstrapping:
- @EntropyAdvisors by @MattFiebach / @swmartin19 who left their comfy job at @blockworksres to work with DAO
- @ArbitrumPlay / AGV with @gamer_djinn @JohansonRick, who popped up in the DAO, alongside the DAO elected oversight committee.
Additionally, a host of contributors willing to get funded by DAO to execute on proposals like reviewing hundreds of applicants for incentive grants, the DAO grant program, governance hackathons, etc.
Very special year; not sure if it is repeatable. Hope it ends up in a history book someday.
I find the discourse around the bitcoin GitHub moderation interesting.
People like to complain that a deleted post equals censorship, but the point of moderation is to maintain high quality of discourse that works for the contributors & for who it matters.
I generally agree with moderation that focuses on the merits of comments.
