Every single year, EthCC gets a bit bigger, a bit more organized, and way more productive. The signal from EthCC this year was particularly strong!
EthCC is a unique conference. It’s one of the oldest and most well-run Ethereum conferences that we have. So here we are, post-EthCC 2023. The noise of the bull market is behind us. The tourists are gone and only the settlers remain.
So… where are we now, halfway through 2023? With EthCC offering such a strong checkpoint in the arc of Ethereum and crypto broadly, I’ve taken a moment to take stock of my main reflections and takeaways from the endless supply of conversations at EthCC 2023.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, Banclist Nation, to a special episode of Banclists. |
| 0:06.4 | In this episode, I'm going to cover my five big takeaways from ETHCC. |
| 0:10.7 | I recently wrote this as an article in the Banclist newsletter, but if you're like me, |
| 0:14.8 | you simply just prefer audio content over written content. |
| 0:18.6 | Some of us just can't read. |
| 0:19.8 | Every year, ETHCC provides a ton of signal about the current state of Ethereum and the |
| 0:24.3 | broader crypto world. |
| 0:26.2 | Having just ended, I wanted to take a moment to get those who weren't able to attend |
| 0:29.8 | up to speed with the current meta that I experienced and others also experienced at ECC 2023. |

| 0:38.8 | to writing one thing a week for the Banclist newsletter. |
| 0:42.5 | Writing is how I got started in crypto. |
| 0:44.4 | It's how I refine my thoughts and share my insights, and I haven't been able to do as |
| 0:49.3 | much of it lately. |
| 0:50.5 | Long time Banclist listeners will know that I once upon a time used to be a powerhouse |
| 0:54.5 | of written content, and I want to bring that back. |
| 0:56.8 | So my goal moving forward is to write something every single week, probably on Fridays, and |
| 1:01.0 | then also record that to become a podcast for the audio video fam out there. |
| 1:05.1 | This week's piece is especially long and 2,500 words definitely nowhere near my longest, |
| 1:09.8 | but still pretty long for the typical newsletter. |
| 1:12.0 | And this is just because I had pent up energy out of ETHCC. |
| 1:15.0 | And with that, let's get into my five big takeaways from ETHCC 2023, but first, a moment |
