This is was probably one of the most pointless dog-and-pony shows I've ever seen.

The CFR gets a person who is arguably the most technically qualified person in the entire world for an hour, who could've legitimately explained in tremendous depth what Bitcoin really is and how it works, but instead decided to waste everybody's time asking lay questions speculating about economics and political economy.

All the while the narcissist host insists on "pushing back", literally meaning "no matter what you have to say I have a prepared milquetoast rebuttal to what I assume you're going to say".

This.

Looked like the presentation was attended by support personnel and groupies primarily. At least judging by the Q-n-A. I'd not really expect so have seen many of the movers and shakers there both because no matter what the content of such a presentation it would be largely dis-interesting to them and obtainable in a more condensed form anyway.

The public interview was not the important part of the conversation.

Hopefully if Gavin sees fit to elaborate on this aspect of things (or issue an assurance that there is nothing to elaborate on) someone will note it in this thread. I, for one, don't spend a great deal of effort stalking him. He started this thread and it would be fair to hope he'd speak to this aspect of the event as it is obviously an interesting and important to at least a fraction of the Bitcoin community.
