We (3 people) met him in a cafe for a casual conversation (away from any Bitcoin media attention) and he was exactly how you see him on podcasts. Yea, he is very humble, approachable, sharp and much more sarcastic than I expected. I asked him about his controversy with Peter Mcormick, Blocking people on twitter, and his private conversations with Michael Saylor which was very insightful

After 4 hours he took us to his office and gave us several copies of his new book.

I enjoyed the convo as its like meeting a pleb with good sense of humor :)
