Kickoff
summary
Kickoff summarizes Bitcoin++ history and logistics — 16th conference, first Vienna economics edition, sponsors include NYDIG, Human Rights Foundation, Stacks and Alok — and traces a personal path from engineering to economics: finding a Y2K bug in Bitcoin, building a game that illustrates protocol mechanics, contrasting developer culture with Austrians, and arguing Bitcoin uniquely combines protocol engineering with incentive engineering; closes by previewing lightning network incentive work and workshops.
