Hello? Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and we’re going to start now. Good afternoon everyone. I’m a self-proclaimed VP of operations and swag for this crypto conference. I’m also a friend of the Magical Crypto Friends. I’m very happy to see the turnout for this conference. I see people who are clearly passionate based on the way they dress. Thank you all for coming. I am going to ask a question. What’s your favorite thing about this conference so far? Nothing about ICOs. I like that answer. I like your shirt also. My shirt says “Satoshi is Black” ((applause)). “He’s a woman, too”. Looks like we’re ready now. Without further adue, here are the crypto friends to come on stage.
Introduction
This is the real Riccardo. Remotely. “Hello people”.
WP: Welcome everyone to the first and last Magical Crypto Conference in New York. I will start with some practical information. If you take pictures, we encourage it, but please ask permission if other people are in it. Also tag us, it’s MCC2019. Use the right hashtag.
CL: We have a a harassment policy. Don’t shill ICOs to other people. It’s not worth it. If you have issues, we have purple kraken sponsor t-shirts that say “FRIEND” on it.
SM: It’s the “Magical Crypto Friends friend” t-shirt. It’s the most awkward we could make it. We also have wifi. The ssid is “Infinite Fleet” and the password is “tether2themoon”. That was your idea. We had wifi for 500 people. I think we’re over 500 people. If there are issues, we will deal with it. Tweet at me, and then we’ll see.
CL: You shouldn’t use wifi anyway, because spooks.
WP: Please, this evening there will be a party and everyone here likes a party, but please don’t lose your badge. If you lose your badge, then you won’t be able to get in tomorrow. You’ll have to buy a new ticket. Outside there are two food trucks. Tomorrow there will be three. IT’s free for speakers and VIPs.
SM: If you see a VIP person, please let them cut in front of you in line. We’re serious. And in the bathroom. Everyone should have their swag bag. Every bag has a random doll or coin. I think the coins are in sequence. We have a booth in the back corner, staffed by Cindy and a few different people. They are selling Magical Crypto Friends t-shirts and some other gear. We ask that if you don’t want a doll, then don’t try to come to our booth and try to exchange it for a different one. You’re welcome to use our magical crypto DEX where you can p2p trade with other people.
CL: After the conference, we have a sponsored party. It’s at 630 at One Oak. Since tomorrow starts at 10am, please feel free to party as long as it takes. Come back refreshed tomorrow.
WP: If you lose your badge, then just buy a new ticket.
SM: For the speakers, you get miced up over there. Please be on time. If you go over the time limit, one of our magical crypto friends friend will tackle you on stage. So don’t go over time.
WP: We will record a live MCF show at 530pm. Everything is live, except for one talk which will not be livestreamed where the speaker has asked to not livehand. The MCF episode will be about an hour and it will have Q&A. All the other talks do not have Q&A.
CL: You can take the stairs in the back next to the bull to get to the second floor with the other talks. There are 300 seats there. So how cool is the bull? Now we know why the price is going up. It’s the MCC bullrun.
SM: We also have a special contest to announce. Allen, are you there? Can you share the pictures of the lambos? We’re giving away six lambos. There are four colored lambos, one color for each of us. These will be given out for random attendees, and two others for a contest.
WP: Whoever can take the best most original picture of the cutouts. Or whoever can take the coolest picture of the bull. Don’t mess with the bull. It’s at your own risk. It’s a MCC lambo, if you take that with the picture, we will decide which is the best one tomorrow and you will get a free lambo.
SM: We will draw it in a coffee break.
CL: These lambos are sponsored by our gold sponsors. They don’t know it yet. Surprise.
WP: Pulling this out was quite an underatken. Thank you to our gold sponsors, bitstamp and others. Thank you to the secondary sponsors, and the bronze sponsors.
SM: This includes Litecoin Foundation, slushpool, bitfury, and Blockstream….
CL: Trail of Bits too. Thanks a lot.
WP: For btc.se, they organized the party this evening. Thanks mex and for the coffee cups. Intoro for the lanyards. Kraken for the t-shirts. Pixelmatic for wifi.
SM: Scan the back of your card, there’s bitcoin there.
CL: Make sure your badges are forward or else nobody will know who you are.
SM: We will air the first ever live animated MCF short. Should we cut the lights?
