Q&A
18.10 - 18.30 "Bitcoin's Future is User-Friendly" by Henry Murray-Smith, Founder of Easymode.app
This Guy Fawkes Night, an incendiary presentation blows the Bitcoin ETF and all centralised custodians sky high. Will the current cabal of bag-holding bullshit smugly hide behind 'smart money' pumping fiat into Bitcoin? Is there more to Bitcoin than price action? Henry argues we can empower billions of non-technical users with self-custody, inflation protection and borderless payments by making software people actually want to use. Fiery questions welcome from friend and foe!

19.15 - 19.35 "From Farm to Future: How Blockchain and AI Are Rebuilding Human Trust in Food Systems" by Greg McLardie, CEO of Two Hands
Blockchain presents the opportunity to democratise food supply chains, making ethical and sustainable actors of all participants. AI & blockchain combined will be extraordinary, amongst many other things, bringing coordination at scale, offsetting big institution economies of scale. Two Hands intends to build the trust implicit in the days when humans lived in local villages, and bring this level of trust to the global village. When we arrive at this level of implicit trust, humanity will reflect with humbleness on the beauty of our kinship. Ironically, humanised technology will be instrumental to humanity getting back to its roots.
