It went really well, Joe. My wife is highly averse to 'boring bitcoin' content. She was fully engaged for the entire presentation, complimentary, and she fully participated in the discussion that followed. So, needless to say, well done mate!

My friend, who is slowly becoming a bitcoiner (but still has a normie mentality in many ways) also enjoyed the presentation, but was more challenging with certain aspects. In particular, the second flow chart, focusing on big pharma, big food, etc.

A local businessman that is completely new to Bitcoin also attended, and also really enjoyed the video. He did say that to take it all in, he would need to re-watch it to digest many of the concepts as he felt it was a lot to take in.

One question that it raised for me during the discussion that followed, pertained to the surveillance economy we're all subject to now. If we were living with a bitcoin-based monetary system in the early days of the Internet, my expectation is that the change to our incentives would have resulted in a value-based Internet economy, rather than a surveillance/attention based economy.

Have you encountered this question? What are your thoughts?
