13:53:36 <sgp_> rehrar: can you handle the coffee chat tomorrow? Including setting up the streaming?
16:08:24 <rehrar> Sure
17:42:25 <sgp_> rehrar: great, I'll update the info
21:03:49 <xmrmatterbridge> <cankerwort> We need an Andreas of Monero
21:04:13 <xmrmatterbridge> <cankerwort> Or to get Andreas to start talking about Monero
21:15:13 <hyc> andreas who?
21:22:20 <sech1> Antonopoulos
21:25:10 <Inge-> Doug was a little pushy with Andreas on his interview
21:26:00 <sgp_> yes that was a good one
21:26:38 <Inge-> Also Andreas hasn't been keeping up with Monero tech and sw dev for the past years
21:36:33 <xmrmatterbridge> <cankerwort> He did acknowledge a lot of Doug's points, but didn't follow up by researching it
21:38:03 <Inge-> I got the feeling he was a little put off by the insistent approach
21:38:15 <niocbrrrrrr> "what you guys are doing is what I've been talking about for years but no I won't check it out"
21:38:25 <Inge-> prrrretty much
21:38:51 <niocbrrrrrr> doug was also respectful
21:39:51 <Inge-> "Monero is quite a lot more privacy-focused than its counterparts [Dash, ZEC, Grin, Beam] ... Monero kind of takes obfuscation and privacy to a next level" -Chainalysis
21:40:05 <sgp_> I spoke with Andreas also back in late August
21:40:27 <Inge-> sgp_: how did that go?
21:40:49 <sgp_> it went reasonably well, but I think many Bitcoin advocates underestimate the difficulty of avoiding centralized services
21:41:03 <sgp_> they assume everyone can and should just never use exchanges like coinbase, etc
21:41:47 <sgp_> so from that perspective, you can see how maybe they are less likely to be concerned about these threats. they will just interact with people who will take their money p2p I guess
21:42:06 <niocbrrrrrr> so just use local btc......oh wait
21:43:26 <sgp_> yeah that's a bit of the thought process
21:43:39 <sgp_> "why is it so hard to just avoid these exchange bad actors?"
21:46:52 <xmrmatterbridge> <cankerwort> It occurred to me after seeing how many views he gets on his q&a streams
21:47:14 <xmrmatterbridge> <cankerwort> Where he gets reasonably technical for a youtube q&a
21:48:12 <xmrmatterbridge> <cankerwort> Eventually he will run of questions about Bitcoin to answer
21:52:03 <midipoet> I don't think it's easy to be an Andreas. respect where it's due to be fair.
22:20:49 <hyc> hard to ignore the facts in front of you and pretend they don't exist? yeah, must be tough
