Four years ago today the #insidebitcoinsnyc conference was the final hook & sinker that dragged me deep down the rabbit hole.
“many long time attendees remarked on the number of “suits” in the room. Compared to other conferences hosted in the Javits Center, the crowd was eclectic and the conference small, but it was clear that financial institutions were kicking the tires.” ark-invest.com/research/block…
What I thought of then as the technology hitting “an inflection point in the financial services industry,” was really just an early wave of interest in the *ideas* from financial institutions.
Worth delineating now between:

1) an inflection of interest (ideas)

2) an inflection in implementation (creation)

3) an inflection in use (consumption)

Crypto has #1, is in the midst of building out #2, and #3 is mostly yet to come.
Anyway, thanks to @Sonnenshein and @GrayscaleInvest who gave me the free sponsor ticket to attend the conf, and also gave @ARKInvest an avenue to invest in $BTC 💪
A side note, I don’t think I ended up attending another conf where “#bitcoins” was more the norm than “#bitcoin” - is there history as to how that shift happened, or was it gradual osmosis through the interwebs?
