The 2025 Electronic Cash Conference (ECC) has come to a close, and I thought I’d share my thoughts. To be honest, I really wasn’t sure what to expect going in. Both in terms of how the conference would go, as well as what impact, if any, it would have on my personal feelings about the eCash project.
I also admit a part of me couldn’t help but speculate on whether or not the conference would have an effect on the price of XEC. Would it serve as a launchpad for XEC to finally pump? Or maybe it would have the opposite effect, either because we didn’t get the good news we were hoping for, or because the good news came and went and it felt like there was nothing left to look forward to. Mostly, I suspected the price would just stay the same, because as the saying goes, nothing ever happens.
Well, we got the good news, and the price has pretty much stayed the same. So where does that leave us?
Full disclosure, my initial response after the conclusion of the presentations was one of disappointment. Not because of the lack of a market reaction, but for another reason that I’ll explain later. It also probably didn’t help that by the end of the conference I was running on fumes. It started at 12:30 am my time, ended at 8:00 am, and to top it all off, I had to take my son to his soccer match by 8:15.
Behind the paywall I briefly go over what each of the presenters discussed, my impressions of their talks, as well as my general feelings and observations about the conference overall. I hope you will find it’s well worth the 1000 XEC.
🔥 51 unlocks and counting...
awesome as usual 🙂
very technical. Ordinary people really don’t understand. CZ should also be invited by the eCash team😅😅
Thank you for sharing.
I also appreciated Joey’s talk the most for the reasons you described. What does all the tech matter if it is not solving real-world problems?
It was great to meet everybody in person and finally put a real 3D face to all the pseudonyms I’ve interacted with over the years. I wish I could have met you as well, because as I did with Joey, I know that meeting you would have helped me realize even further that eCash and Lotus are not competitors, nor are either project acting towards each other at cross purposes.
We all have the same dedication and drive to our separate but complementary missions to help make the world a better place.
Thank you 🙂
I was able to attend! What I liked most were the friends we made along the way 💪
