In Washington DC I spoke on the non-profit panel with Jason King, Andreas Antonopoulos, and Meghan Lords, which was well received. I also gave my own talk titled, "Getting To Know Your Regulators," in which I compared and contrasted market driven conferences like Bitcoin In The Beltway, with taxpayer funded junkets by regulatory agencies like the DOJ, IRS, VA, and GSA. I also I discussed some of the science which explains the lies and hypocrisy of the regulators. Best of all we did our first ever episode of The Bitcoin Group where we were all together in one room.

I also had a vending table where I sold hats, stickers, lapel pins and a variety of other Bitcoin related swag. This included the orange Bitcoin Not Bombs t-shirts, which are a fund raising instrument for the Hoodie The Homeless campaign. Every t-shirt sold is priced to give a hoodie to a homeless person at the end of the year.
