I took some heat with my initial impressions of ETHDenver, but I stand by the piece. At the time of writing, this was the totality of my experience. Writing anything else would be a blatant lie.
Fortunately things improved on subsequent days. It was overall a positive experience despite the initial logistical issues. As always, most of the value came from meeting people in person, so I caught relatively few panels.
Many thanks to everybody whom took the time amidst the chaos to connect. As a non-anon, I’ll surely regret doxxing myself when I inevitably get dismembered by kidnappers who mistakenly assume I’m rich and want my seed phrase. Until such time, attending such events are a true pleasure, and I relished the opportunity to meet so many people in person. For all the several missed connections, hopefully we can connect elsewhere!
That said, anybody who couldn’t attend can still watch all the panels on YouTube and get a sense of the discussions. For subscribers, I highlight some of the more notable panels annotated with my thoughts.
