Berlin Ethereum Day Closing Remarks | Eniko

All right, thank you so much. I will be very quick. I promise. I know we are a little bit over time. So, yeah, thank you so much for being here.

Thank you so much for still being here. Uh, huge shout out to all of the speakers. I think it was a really, really good lineup. We heard a lot of really amazing and very relevant uh talks. Um and yeah, as I mentioned in the beginning, I hope that by the end of the day, um you have a little bit of more conviction that we can build something, uh better, a better future together.

And Ethereum is just one piece of the puzzle. We can do this together. None of no single project or organization can build this free open future alone. So we need radical collaboration. So we need each other.

Um so I hope in the end of the day you had some conversations with others outside of your bubble. I'm really happy that we had talks from from Mario from post Asia and and a lot of people who brought some new perspectives who are not from our usual bubbles. Um because in the end of the day we are working towards a very similar or the same mission. Um and even if we have some different approaches or we're coming from different angles um we have to stay united, we have to be together because if we are divided um we are not going to be able to go far. We can only go far together.

Um yeah and I wanted to quickly mention something. If you're here in Berlin, if you're visiting or if you're based in Berlin, um we do have a community hub here. It's uh my team's initiative at the ATM foundation. Um every uh Wednesday we have this co-working sessions. Um it's really um good vibes.

People just come to co-work um and we have some drinks and snacks after. So if you're interested or if you're in town, if you want to join us, uh you can scan this QR code and just apply for this. We're also organizing monthly meetups here in Berlin. So, if you're ever in town, um make sure you uh swing by. And of course, the Berlin Blockchain Week is continuing uh with a bunch of other events.

Um tomorrow and after tomorrow, there will be Defcon. Defcon. It's one of the longest running events. Um also very um impactful event here at the blockchain week every year. Make sure you check it out if you can.

And uh there is blue as well. You can see the website in the corner. This is a very small um privacy focused program that's been running here in Berlin for a couple of months now. Um and they will also have like a closing event during the blockchain week. We're also supporting them and hopefully um they will continue this in the coming years.

Um and of course there will be the web camp here in the summer in July. So try to be involved if you can. It's also a really good cross-pollinated event. You probably heard about this today already. So, I highly recommend to try to attend if you can.

And yeah, if you're not from here or you know there are a lot of events happening around the world and I think these inerson events uh are very important. So whether if it's just like a small meetup, a larger conference, um check out the iter.org community uhvents website. There are a lot of things happening in the ecosystem. I think in an increasingly technical world, we we really need these human interactions and uh we really need to connect in these physical spaces and and just have these conversations and that bring us closer to each other.

Um yeah, and I wanted to say thank you for being here again. Thank you for building these technologies, these communities. You really matter. What you do matters. Um it starts with one person, one group, one small community, but it can grow really big.

It can only grow really big if we all join forces and spread the word. Um so thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much for all the contributors. Thank you so much again for Chris and the Funk House team for hosting us here. Huge shout out to Martin and Khan for Ming.

Can you come on stage please? And Mattel from my team uh from the Eternal Mag team at registration and helping me pulling up the stage uh yesterday. It's again a very grassroots event. if any of the volunteers are still here. Um, Yasine, um, Mark, um, okay, but they were helping in the morning.

Um, a lot of us I didn't mention, uh, thank you so much for making this happen. And Martin's also been involved with a lot of other events in the past here in Berlin. So, um, yeah, u, please keep doing what you're doing. spread the word, try to use open-sourceh software and all the tools that you heard about here today because it all starts with us. Um, in the end of the day, we can only um make this happen if we really are resilient and and really push forward because otherwise yeah, it's not going to it's not going to happen by itself.

We have to be resilient and we have to fight for this with for our freedom and for a more open world. So, thank you so much for coming. There are plenty of events uh during the week, so make sure to check out as many as you can and talk to other people. Thank you.
