Thanks to Zhouzhou @chochou33 for the invitation! After overcoming countless challenges, I’ve finally made it to Taiwan for the second time. The last time I visited Taiwan was back in 2019, when I attended ABS. That event featured a debate between Arthur Hayes and Dr. Doom on whether BTC is safe or just trash. At that time, Bitcoin was priced at just over $9,000. This time around, it’s also my first face-to-face meeting with CZ. His iconic combo of flip-flops, shorts, and a T-shirt left a lasting impression on me. Returning to Taipei after six years, I’m really looking forward to connecting, exchanging ideas, and learning more from friends in Taiwan. Super excited for this TBW2025 journey—it’s my second stop in learning from the world. PS: I originally planned to attend KBW2025 too, but the flight situation talked me out of it . I still don’t get why Singapore has direct flights for the outbound trip but none for the return. Layovers that stretch over 10 hours? No way, I can’t handle that!
