dear old friend, if you are going to devconnect tomorrow, please know this: there are no audiences here, only authors. ethereum is not the work of a few names, it never has been. it is the accumulation of thousands of choices made by people who cared enough to build something better than what they were handed. so: when you walk into these rooms, talk to everyone. greet the newcomer the same way you greet the legend. do not build pedestals in your mind. the people you admire started exactly where you are. the next breakthrough might come from the person sitting alone on the edge of a hallway. devconnect is a place where hierarchies should fall away. a place where the future is not handed down from a stage but shaped in circles, in questions, in unexpected collisions between strangers. no one here is above you. no one here is below you. you are all ethereum. every single one of you. the protocol is shaped as much by your curiosity, your conversations, your courage to share an idea, as it is by any upgrade or proposal. ethereum becomes what its people dare to make it. this week, remember that your presence is not passive. you carry the same power as anyone else in this city. the power to start something. the power to change something. the power to make this ecosystem stand tall. talk openly. share freely. listen patiently. build with people who think differently than you. treat every encounter like it might become the doorway to a new chapter, because it often is. you are not here to observe the story of ethereum. you are here to write it. good luck and much love. your number one fan, binji
