Mixed Excitement for Value-for-Value

There was mixed excitement for value-for-value but most of the hesitation seemed to be conflating Bitcoin with the other Crypto-currencies.

Community

There’s a grand sense of community between all of the large and small businesses and all individuals who attended the event.
