Weddings, robberies, blunders: EthCC comes to an end

Indeed, a wedding cake at the event was covered in icing that read, “Dump on retails, but never dump each other.” David Hoffman from Bankless said, “You need to spend at least four hours a day on Twitter to understand what’s happening here.”

Empty conferences

Another conference, hosted by Aptos Labs, which ran parallel to EthCC, failed to pull in the crowds.

Someone claiming to be in this apparent 10-person audience was congratulated on X for respecting social distancing. Another attendee responded, “How you think I avoided getting mugged?” adding, “Even the CEO didn’t show up. Bullish.”

One soggy Vitalik Buterin

Buterin himself had a turbulent time at EthCC, arriving to give a talk soaking wet after having to run through the rain to make the appearance. Fortunately, this crypto conference wasn’t flooded.

Elsewhere, part of a stage collapsed onto his shoulder leading one user to joke, “Belgian Police are investigating an attempt on Vitalik’s life yesterday that took place at an EthCC side event.”
