i think it was a very poor talk. all she did was give a superficial historical review with a heavy slant towards the negative events over the last year including her own mishap with MyBitcoin. she showed no understanding of the economics behind why Bitcoin was created or how it fits into the financial crisis of the last 4 years.
its high time we get someone who is articulate and has a deep understanding of the corrupt financial world into which Bitcoin is trying to insert a viable solution.
I wasn't impressed by the talk, but I'll give some respect for anyone bothering to give a talk in front of a crowd of strangers (hell, friends and relatives for that matter). I couldn't do it, I have a hard enough time sharing with people I care about. I've always been more comfortable with text.
That said, why don't you start giving talks? I've read many of your posts, and you seem articulate and understanding enough.
i really would like to but am trying to maintain a low profile.
