You're at a Bitcoin conference somewhere and are going up in an elevator and the lights go dim, the air conditioning fails and the elevator gets stuck between floors. https://imgprxy.stacker.news/_TG_W6F_Ks4M-y0ru3zDGJJnN-i5UFrua9d4iT9uIrg/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWFnZXMuZmFzdGNvbXBhbnkubmV0L2ltYWdlL3VwbG9hZC93XzEyODAsZl9hdXRvLHFfYXV0byxmbF9sb3NzeS9mYy8zMDU2ODM4LXBvc3Rlci1wLTEtd2hhdC10by1zYXktd2hlbi15b3VyZS1zdHVjay1pbi10aGUtZWxldmF0b3Itd2l0aC15b3VyLWJvc3NzLWJvc3MuanBn

Fuck don't know any of these folks xept Snowden. I asked him a question once In a public forum zoom call thing. I was so excited to get to ask a question that I forgot my question and sat down. Thus began.........the dark times........

reply

Glad that you were so pumped! I might have done something similar!

Plus, if you see @DarthCoin around on the forum, say something even slightly nice about a shitcoin - and he'll ’introduce’ himself sure enough...

reply

He was an interesting guy though. I don't understand what he did but I guess it's fine now, America is obv the only superpower. Right?

reply

Check him out. In fact, I think it'd be good to check everyone on the list out.

you = batman

Only Batman and Andreas wear the cowl. I'm Bitman!

reply

Half the time, always truthy, half the time, always falsy. Bitman. It's not the protector eastern Slovakia wanted, or expected, or understood, but the option seemed true at the time

reply

Thanks @Bitman ! You have inspired me. Gotta get it to 3M.

reply

I'm elated at being able to help. So pleased that you're able to help @anita so much!

Good news. @siggy47 satsathon for @anita just passed the 3m mark.

We raised only a tiny (¹/100th) amount of what was needed - but publicizing how close siggy was may have helped.

Well done everyone - but especially Siggy. Keep up the great work @anita!

reply

I'm going Laszlo. Seems like a cool dude.

I think I'd be okay with all of the above.

If I really could choose freely, I'd say after watching Adam Back talk last weekend, I'd be happy to ask him hours of questions about bitcoin core, lightning and simplicity

reply

I had him there with a bag of Jades in my draft. He was certainly good to read on Twitter.

I'm sure that Gary is used to a debate. It'd be gruelling - but great to watch. Elevators usually have a camera.

...especially if it's a dinky elevator.

A good old fashioned Andreas lecture would be nice

I totally agree!

None of them. I just want to be stuck with me.

You've got your wish. I'm sure you'll be very happy together!

siggy's chair does look comfortable

I bet he's the type of guy who'd share it in a crisis.

Snowden via vid link so you don't run the risk of anybody smelling funny in a tight space

reply

Yeah, with the AC off anything could happen. I had to have Darth in full attire for the same reason. That'd be one hell of a reveal!

Hard to pick between Jack, Edward and Darth... Siggy and his chair are compelling, though.

reply

They'd all be great. Siggy and the chair are certainly a great combination.

reply

Satoshi Nakamoto. Only with no idea who they were. Just to see how they'd broach the subject of BTC with someone they don't know.

reply

Only the default face of SN Dorian Nakamoto in this Quantum elevator I'm afraid...

Dorian did warm to Bitcoin and to the bitcoiners who helped him after he was mistaken for Satoshi.

reply

Darth I think would keep it so real and just give the facts antonopoulis is a close second though he'd keep it real but feel maybe be over my head (doubt it) just Darth is that dude!!

reply

I clicked the wrong person but at least we have two pizzas.

reply

This sounds like the plot to one of my head fantasies, but I can't say I ever dreamed of any of these fine folk

reply

An elevator repair person

reply

I know exactly who I wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator with ))

reply

Go on, I won't tell anyone!

Megan fox without a chess set

With my wife! (Trad Guy)

You're thinking outside of the box. The engineer might be wishing that they were too!

reply

Very good lol! 10 minutes with my jokes and he would regret being in with me… probably make him well motivated to fix the problem though.

Ah, the old 10 min w̶̶r̶̶e̶̶n̶̶c̶̶h̶ joke attack.
