Before there were ETFs

We were just kids in a random conference room in NYC, pretending we understood wtf this C++ pull request did to Bitcoin.
For years those who spent time on filter discourse said they were irrelevant if a super majority of nodes/pools were not going to apply them.
The only shot short of a fork was a cartel of miners applying the filter. We are now there. What happens after the cartel doesn't work?
Pro tip to those in Vegas, if you're looking for some relaxing downtime, get a daytime pass to the Wynn Spa.
Great spot to charge up vibes before the conference kicks off or decompress at the end of the trip before hitting up the airport.
Another Vegas Tip:
If you so choose to gamble, baccarat is a good social game:
1. It's entirely out of your control, you can't "misplay" it like you can in blackjack deviating from proper strategy.
2. It's losing value, but close to a coin flip
3. You can touch the cards!
