- Eva Vlaardingerbroek gets orange pilled: New to Bitcoin, the firebrand Dutch political commentator made a massive debut at the event, downloading her first Lightning wallet, receiving her first Bitcoin, and discussing her belief that Bitcoin can be a tool to limit government crackdowns of free speech in the face of the disappearance of cash in her home country.
