If you have gone to crypto conferences, you know that you are not really “considered” to be on panels. They are recorded anyway – Networking Is priority. Opportunity cost is ignorant!
To cope with my FOMO from permitted, I heard every panel (almost) on 2 days. So the irony is that I probably grew more than permission from halfway than those more than halfway around the world.
Here are many choice quotes from day 2 panels.
Blockdemon founder Contantin Richter was asked how his investors would feel if he would make IPOIX instead of NYSE. He replied:
“If my investors feel that the returns they get is much better, I think it is a very easy interaction in this regulatory scenario, (assuming this) We can get the right legal structures to avoid ending in an orange jumpsuit.”
Wayne World Liberty Financial token?
Zak Fokman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, said: “I don’t want to give too much, but if you pay attention to the next few weeks, everyone who wants to know ‘Wayne World Liberty?” Is going to be very happy.
Cryptic.
Brendon Ich, the co-founder of Bahadur, who thinks about building his JavaScript: “Now more than 30 JavaSypt is more than 30, so it should get out of my basement. It is fixing it.”
How should Crypto Purists be felt about integrating with centralized finance today about Defi?
Here is the excellent answer of Can Warvik, which is paraphraded from Defi Renaissance panel:
“If you look at the history of Fintech in the last two decades, it is a kind of destructive, as they are working with a ton regulation and heritage systems that are not differential. It is a big difference between DEFI and Fintech: In Fintech, if you want to do something, you will not find to go to a bank.
“A hybrid Cefi-Defi system at least means that the rail is still interable in an environment where any new entry can come. There are less obstacles for entry. And that, for me, for me, even if we have not got ‘pure’ defaults instead of the world, I think we have still won.”
A masterclass in marginal thinking if you ever remind yourself of good ol ‘Cypherpunk days …
What are the biggest obstacles for adoption today?
Praivi’s co-founder Henry Stern: “Honoring and moving for Crypto from Fiat is the biggest obstacle for adoption today.”
What is the most important scaling decision at the next year to do the Atherium?
Pratiman’s Dan Robinson: “Increase the gas limit on L1. I would like to see some progress on the delay till then, but I suspect that we will.”
Unfortunately, the percentage of atherium verifications indicating to the high gas range has slowed down in recent weeks. Last time there were limits of gas raised From 30 meters to 36 meters was in February 2025.
Apps will not only stop and build on their series?
Anja’s Max Renic: “If you want a user, you should stay on Solana – that’s where they are. If you want to bring your users and use them a product, then clearly, I don’t really know why you are building on blockchain.”
Another spicy one from John Charbonue of DBA funds is: “If I had to take a bet, I bet that the base will not continue payment of 10-15% (for optimism), as I do not think they are getting enough values in turn. My intestine is equal for most rollups with my relationships for the atherium. Just do not have pricing strength.”
How is AI being used for ZK?
Succint from Uma Roy: “A funny example of a large hyperlicid whale with zero formal programming backgrounds, which vibi-coded a SP1 application over the weekend. The app proved that he owned the address with ~ 25 meters in an anonymous X account without revealing his addresses.”
