"Utreexod is a full node implementation with the utreexo accumulators built in. So, it supports every single operation that needs to be supported, it supports every single feature. Its a feature-complete full node implementation with Utreexo accumulators." - @kcalvinalvinn

[Stephan Livera @stephanlivera]

“They (Koreans) want to save, they want long term capital formation…the problem is, in a savings based culture with fiat money, you’re just stealing from everybody and that’s unfortunately what the govt here has done for a long time. I see Bitcoin fitting hand-in-glove with the culture that craves savings - there are so many people within Korea that want to save.” - @jimmysong at @BitcoinSeoulCon

[TFTC @TFTC21]

"Holding #Bitcoin is going to be far more profitable than running a central banking cattle, debt slavery system, which is what we have right now... I think over time that's what is going to kill it."

Reflections from Bitcoin Seoul 2024:

1. Asia has an extremely bright, Bitcoin-native future.

Bitcoin adoption varies across Asia. Crypto adoption has unfortunately led the way due to retail gambling and heavy government regulation.

Asia is a constellation of different cultures. But many of these cultures have a shared core value:

Saving.

This deep-rooted preference for saving will outlast every altcoin and every fiat government regime.

Now imagine 4.5 billion people waking up to the reality that fiat destroys their savings...

2. Bitcoin L2 development is thriving.

The current debate on Bitcoin Twitter is largely ossification vs. acceleration. In my opinion, the very fact that this debate is ongoing is a testament to Bitcoin's decentralization.

However, I think this debate misses the bigger picture.

The sheer number of L2s being developed on Bitcoin are extremely exciting. Most of these L2s do not require any forks on the base layer, which should be something both sides can celebrate.

Which brings me to...

3. Each and every one of us represents Bitcoin.

It's very easy to make an argument for why toxic maximalism is valuable - even necessary. However, this argument only occurs online for a reason.

In-person, Bitcoiners are friendly, principled, optimistic, and inquisitive. We all want Bitcoin to win.

And while maximalism has been an effective immune system for protecting us from scams and bad actors, we cannot deny the negative effects that occur when the immune system attacks healthy cells.

Meet more Bitcoiners in person. I promise it'll change how you conduct yourself online.

[#Bitcoin Seoul 2024 Review]
비트코인 서울 2024 후기-장문

1️⃣첫째 날.
비트코인 개발에 프로세스와 이해, 코드상에서 검열정항은 무엇인지 채굴과 개발에 까지 토론과 발표, 사이페딘 아모스(@saifedean)의 비트코인이 중요한 이유 등 쉿코인 컨퍼런스와는 다른 시작을 보여줌.

🍺모든 해외 비트코이너들이 행사가 끝나고 장충동 족발(진짜 족발집) 가서 소주와 맥주를 마시게 될줄은 몰랐던 컨퍼런스. (곧 지미송(@jimmysong)과 소주 주고받은 썰 푼다.)

2️⃣ 둘째 날.
라이트닝 결제로 일본에서 온 플리마켓의 상품을 구매, 전날 족발집에서 각자 출판한 책에 사인을 해서 교환하자고한 지미송과 사인책 교환식 진행.

👨‍💻켈빈님(@kcalvinalvinn)의 비트코인 개발 시작하기는 게 비트코인 개발자가 되고싶은 많은 사람들에게 도움이 되었음.

3️⃣ 셋째 날.
네딸바님(@nldd21)이 직접 가져온 DIY 하드웨어 월렛(@SeedSigner @selfcustodykrux)을 보여주며 오픈소스 월렛이 왜 중요하고 어떻게 만드는지 보여줌.

🇰🇷🇨🇳🇯🇵 일본 비트코이너 코지(@Coin_and_Peace)와 중국 비트코이너 용우(@yyforyongyu) 그리고 진행해준 앤드루(@ecurrencyhodler)와 같이 한국의 규제(박상기, 루나, 트래블룰)를 이야기 했으며 한국의 라이트닝 결제매장에 대하여 홍보하여 많은 호응을 받음.
(라이트닝 결제매장: https://t.co/cS1M2b2Krt)

[⚡️사담/잡담]
한국에도 비트코인 컨퍼런스가 열리면 좋겠다라며 추진해주신 켈빈님(@kcalvinalvinn)과 대성님(@ds_heartbit) 그리고 서울경제(@BitcoinSeoulCon)가 열리지 못할 위기를 수차례 넘기며 설득과 노력으로 긴시간동안 준비해주신 덕분에 열리게 되었음.

컨퍼런스 비용이 비싸지 않아(비트코인 매거진 컨퍼런스는 40~60만원부터 시작)적자를 예상..하지만 그럼에도 매끄러운 진행과 비트코이너들의 자유를 보장해주던 서울경제에 감사드리며,
특히 일본 비트코이너 코지(@Coin_and_Peace)와 중국 비트코이너 용우(@yyforyongyu) 그리고 진행해준 한국말을 너무 잘했던 앤드루(@ecurrencyhodler) 는 너무 반가웠으며 항상 보던 친구들 같았음.
(비트코인 도쿄에서 볼수 있었으면)

한국 비트코이너분들이 이렇게 많이 오실줄도 몰랐으며 한국 비트코인의 미래는 밝음. 대구 부산 구미에서 올라오신분들, 군인신분으로 휴가내시고 티켓 구입하셔서 오신분, 해외에 거주하시는데 참가하고자 오신 분, 제 세션에만 오셔서 보시고 가신분 등 많았는데 다 인사드리지 못해서 아쉽고 미안함을 끝으로,
👋비트코이너의 축제 비트코인 서울 2024 안녕.

-내년에도 비트코인 서울 2025가 열리기를 바라며-
