Those in the know could be heard discussing

a kind of "middle chain",

somehow uniting Eos and BitShares,

releasing on Guy Fawkes Day, November 5th:

Those are some knowing smiles if you ask me :-)

Now, you don't need to say anything,

'cause I know,

that despite the vastness of some of the perspectives presented

The Godfather of bitshares

Rocket scientist, Godfather of bitshares, Stan Larimer

Stole the show!

I mean, look to his right, on the screen...

Pigs? In space?.......What the....?

But, hey, I was there too!

BitFest4IMG_20180921_132806-1.jpg
yup, that's me with the Godfather

And though I may not steal any show,

nor be a hotshot developer, coder, or rocket scientist, I can make my plain jane cell phone camera, when in Amsterdam, evoke a Van Gogh! Who knew I was so talented? LoL

a Van Gogh leaped out of my camera!

And, if I ever need a getaway car

I now know where to find it!!!

future onceuponagetawaycar?

Before I go

Let me leave you with some pictorial thoughts from deep in the heart of Amsterdam:

I am following the developments with Bitshares and the entire dynasty very closely. @stan is sharing a lot of information in his group while Jared is working hard on breakthroughs that will set the g-men on their ears.

Thanks for the pics from the festivities....fortunately there are a lot more announcements to come.

Well, it's nice to know that (some) people are paying attention!!!

I feel bad for not having had time for a chat with you! Friday I couldnt make it and on saturday I had to rush out back home to prep for the pancakes on Sunday. As my GF is waiting our lil own hardfork pt 2 I am also a bit home-bound.

Until the next one!
roeland

Oh, congratulations on the hard fork!!!!!

We will meet soon I am sure.

Now I really need to see what this bitshares means that is so important to you (maybe for me, but I do not know yet). Thanks for the promotion. I think you can handle the camera much better than Van Gogh would do! Maybe your photo will become as valuable as "Sunflower" ...

Once in a blue moon for @bluemoon, an opportunity like bitshares comes along.

I really do not understand bitshares. To the best of my knowledge, it is a decentralized exchange. 😶 please, if you will...

Those X's, are looking like freemason symbolism to me. Quick google and seems to be a long standing connection ... 1879 and further https://masonicperiodicals.org/periodicals/fcn/issues/fcn_19071879/page/11/articles/ar01101/

Disclaimer: I'm not a freemason. I was once invited, and declined. I do not know the password or secret handshake :-D

They seem to have even penetrated into my hotel! It's getting spooky :)

@onceuponatime,
I personally believe BTS might stay separated from EOS! Coz the world will need an alternative to BTC!I mean a powerful alternative to BTC!

Cheers~

Lol, Butler looks like a 70's detective, :) wish I could have gone. Thanks for the update.

The Butler (as usual) did it.

Sir, what do you think, it is best time to invest crypto currency

Well, I don't know. But a pretty good time was 7 years ago (that's when I started).

Sir, what do you think,
It is best time to invest

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Looks like an awesome event!
Hope you had a great time and this onceuponagetawaycar looks hilarious :D

I'll bet you could wear it (the onceuponagetawaycar) with style!

How was it to see Mr Payger in person? Did you guys interact? Was he afraid of you? :D

I was looking for your "introduce yourself" post but I couldn't find one :)
You could always do it right here.

Having fun guys? Looks Cool, images are a bit blurry.

"images are a bit blurry"
What can i say? It's Amsterdam. I've been drinking.

I think you had a great time there, as I can see you had the chance to meet many members of the bitshares community... I hope and believe that bitshares decentralized exchange will play a significant role in future financial system...

I can't believe I just saw five cities in one picture, Moscow, Shanghai, Moscow, Virginia, Shanghai, you guys are legends @Stan there wow, it must have been really thrilling

Lovely work sir

You were with the godfathers. I think you should be called goduncle too

I doubt that onceuponagetawaycar can run 80km/hour

Cool @onceuponatime. From the photo, The event was definitely a success.

so it seems you had a great great time here! And you took some photos with the "celebrities" or were the one that stole the show! :P

This seems to be a great event for bitshares. Any big news coming from the team or some hard fork?

great !! I wish you had spend very nice time there..
ps This car does not fit you... the jeep is much better!! :))))

Sweet!
