RoelandP Lanparty søn. 17. maj, 20.35 (for 11 timer siden) til mig Hi Lasse, Thanks for the email, and huge congrats on dropping the 16kg! That takes real dedication, so well done on putting in the hard work. Things are indeed locking in for Barcelona. Our strategy this year is to host HiveFest and ChainCulture right after the European Blockchain Convention (EBC), which runs right before the September 17–20 dates. EBC draws a massive crowd to the city, and we are aiming to funnel a good portion of that broader crypto audience into our weekend events. Because we are targeting this crossover audience, the stage programming and overall format are going to be extremely tight and heavily curated this year. I have made a note of your interest in doing a lightning talk and performing your track, but I want to be completely upfront to manage expectations: noting your request does not mean a slot on the stage is allotted to you. Please consider it highly unlikely that we will have room for this type of performance on the main stage, so do not book your trip expecting to perform. It will be interesting to see how the MAGI proposal plays out on-chain over the summer. If they secure the funding and you do decide to ape into Barcelona, it would be great to have you there to enjoy the weekend as an attendee! Cheers, Roeland
Lasse Ehlers <> 07.17 (for 34 minutter siden) til RoelandP Hi Roeland, Thanks for the fast and transparent response, and I appreciate the congrats on the weight loss! Targeting the corporate EBC audience makes total sense for scaling the event's reach this year. I completely understand that the stage programming needs to be tightly curated for that crowd. To be completely upfront from my end as well, I’m treating this with pure stoic alignment: I will only make the trip to Barcelona if I am on stage performing, or at an absolute minimum, if the MAGI migration has already fully shipped for LasseCash before September. With the current DHF political gridlock, the realistic odds of a fully shipped MAGI migration for LasseCash before the event are sitting around 15-20% right now. But with AI speeding up the entire development landscape, next year is looking more like a 95% certainty. If the tech flips the switch this summer, it changes the entire game. LasseCash is already one of the most decentralized, battle-tested ownership distributions in blockchain history—though take that analysis with a grain of salt as it's always prone to analysis errors (you can check the breakdown here: https://www.lassecash.com/@lasseehlers/conclusion-lassecash-very-decentralized-in-ownership). To help align the stars, I just sent 100,000 LASSECASH POWER to your account. Consider it a pure gift, nothing else. With our 51 million hard cap tokenomics, you now officially own a big slice of a potential future. If the tech lands over the summer, I'll see you there. If not, we'll look toward 2027. Wishing you smooth sailing with the rest of the event prep! Best regards, Lasse Ehlers
