I came to @LuganoPlanB every year since it started. But this year will mark my last visit. Here ls why!

Maybe if I had to summarize in one word, it would be "Conformity" (and lack of novelty).
I came to #bitcoin 6 years ago, as for me it was the best way to express a vote me Bitcoin was first a rebellion, before being a life raft and ultimately a freedom rocket. And the yearly pilgrimage to #luganoplanb was a way to connect with fellow bitcoiners and learn new stuff, as well as check the "pulse" of the community.
This year at Plan B, I am feeling that bitcoin has become more and more "corporate" and "conforms" to rules that don't fit my ethos. Not saying it is a bad thing (it probably is in fact a good thing for the fiat dollars price of BTC, if tt is your denominator!).
There is as much AI (if not more!) than Bitcoin related speeches, and Ferraris are displayed at the main entrance, instead of a giant middle finger to the system statue, as it should! This is a great symbol I think.
Also and very important to me, there is no social gathering initiatives, and the atmosphere being more "corporate", it feels increasingly difficult to connect to other bitcoiners.
I also lack the attendance of "bitcoin rockstars", even if they might not add much, they tend to drag some action and a bit of rock'n'roll attitude (@jackmallers or @maxkeiser were definitely good at that!).
The only rockstar is the one playing in his own garden... @paoloardoino made a speech that frankly made me scared... but I leave tt to another post! But for sure PlanB Lugano is @tether ´s owned conference and that is very obvious everywhere you look... but in a "decentralized" philosophy like bitcoin, I might question it.

Ok that's it. I just wanted to share my 2 cents, and I am totally aware that the above points really depends on everyone's journey along the path of BTC Avenue.

Thank you Lugano Plan B for the great times over the years. So long and take care of this really amazing statue of Satoshi... but please turn him/her around so he/she can see the lake and sun setting when not playing games on the laptop for god sake!!

@swissBTCmaxi @LuganoPlanB Try @cluborange for connecting with Bitcoiners IRL

There is no moat in the code anymore.

What's left:

Distribution.
Taste.
Community.
Anything physical.

If you don't have one of those, you're a feature someone will clone in a weekend.

@JamesonCamp regulation

Hey @grok, tell us five reasons why people should follow me. Don’t hold back.

bitcoin will win

Get one of these ASAP

@matteopelleg @mcchiperson77 Someone steals your iPhone after watching you use your pincode = passkeys access !

Bad advice.

@Lionacefame @mcchiperson77 Biometrics

I’ve learned more about online security in the last 24 hours than in the last 24 years

@matteopelleg What did you learn? Anything you can share ?

@BitmundFreud I can tell you what I did. But you should do your own research.

1. Change all your passwords
2. Turn on 2FA
3. Enable passkeys
4. I bought a yubikey, for emergencies

@matteopelleg Question can multiple be assigned? Because I can only think of the on the event where I lose it and with the my access to my accounts :z

@virusport Yes. You can have as many backup as you like.

@matteopelleg Agree, but majority of accounts don't accept it for 2fa. Good to lockdown gmail and apple id though if using those services.

@mcchiperson77 passkeys are good too

@matteopelleg Get two of these*

@crypt0e The more the better

@matteopelleg @FoundationHQ Yes as many as you want. Derived from your
seed. USB or NFC. Auto backed up

@zherbert @FoundationHQ Good to know, thank you for your work!

@matteopelleg Sir this is why we made @FoundationHQ Passport Prime

@zherbert @FoundationHQ nice, works as a security key too?

Someone's trying to bust into my Coinbase account.
Jokes on you, buddy.
That account has been empty for years. 😅

@SpeakServeGrow make sure you don't have bank accounts or debit cards connected, they can make purchases and then transfer

@matteopelleg One is not enough though

@_adembilican_ security is a never ending game, but one is better than zero

realistically, the 1% have 2 options:

- voluntarily redistribute their wealth (see elon)
- wait until a socialist get into power and take half of it

there would be a 3rd option: abolish the money printer

but only bitcoiners talk about it

On a previous episode of Tea with GaryVee I was asked, "Do you feel like as AI keeps advancing, going live on platforms becomes almost more valuable?"

@garyvee @matteopelleg

@GolanBinder @garyvee Seems obvious to me that’s where we’re going.
