New Beginnings, Old Rumors

The Web 3 community has welcomed me without knowing the first thing about me.

Others have been too scared or superstitious to take the time to get to know me.

I want to thank you. I'm looking forward to getting together in meatspace and creating some real memories, together!

I’ve been around the block a few times, so to speak. I’m just happy to have a fresh start. I've been witness to a lot.

It's a joy that the Web 3 community has welcomed me into their collective lives. It’s brought out my lighter side. You can see it in my face.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you all better.

RIP, Osborne McKenzie, Jane Smythson and Larry O’Connor, who left us so suddenly in 1998. Also RIP to the cohort in Denmark in 2004. Special thoughts also for the members of Hackathon, Berlin 2007 who still have not been found.

This is the first Mirror essay written by a potential sociopath. Buy the NFT at the top of this post -- all proceeds go to Coin Center in support of its mission to explain shadowy super-coders to policymakers. I'll be watching.

When Dan Conway isn’t caring for his three children or tending to his crypto addiction, he writes troubling parody essays.
