3 Aral sa Berlin Blockchain Week
Ang Boses ng Berlin: Bakit Ako Dumating
Nakalipas ang mga taon na nag-aaral ng blockchain data mula sa Boston—ngunit wala akong inihanda para sa pulso ng Berlin. Bilang isang ENTJ na naghahanap ng katotohanan at walang pasensya sa fake hype, pumunta ako para makita kung paano gumagana ang decentralized communities kapag walang sponsorship ang nagsasalita.
Ang tunay na layunin? Isang pagkakataon para tingnan kung paano gumagana ang mga komunidad nang hindi pinamamahalaan ng pera. At oo—nakakuha ako ng Schengen visa gamit ang aking chain-based salary at ticket. Kasi ba’t magiging coincidence?
Protocol Berg v2: Kung Saan Nagtatagpo ang Teknolohiya at Teatro
Hindi ito karaniwang konperensya. Sa Colosseum—isang lumang sinehan na binago sa digital cathedral—naramdaman ko tulad ng TED Talk pero nasa IMAX.
Walang sponsor. Walang booth. Tanging teknikal na talakayan lamang kasama ang soft lighting at popcorn mula sa volunteers na parang mananaliksik kaysa estudyante.
Napanood ko ang mga talakayan tungkol sa zkVMs, consensus algorithms, at kahit tanong tulad ng “Ang privacy ay binabatay ba sa gender?“—na nagpahinto ng buong silid dahil walang nakasagot nang walang admit ng bias.
At oo—may QR codes para sa live Q&A. Real-time feedback mula global attendees? Hindi gimmick—yan ay signal integrity.
Bakit Parang Bayad Ka Para Magutom si ZuBerlin
Ihambing mo ito kay ZuBerlin—a week-long party-camp hybrid na halaga €650 (original €900). Tanong ko sayo: Kung mahalaga ang gawaing ginawa mo kaysa pera mo para magluto… bakit bayaran ka pa?
Isa kong kaibigan ay nagbayad ng €650 bilang deposit bago maglingkod—isinalin lang niya 20% pagkatapos magtrabaho 16 oras. Sa minimum wage ng Germany (€12/oras)? Mas mataas pa yung halaga niya kaysa €192.
Kainan? Maayos lang yung breakfast. Ang lunch at dinner? Mga variations lamang ng boiled chicken breast at malungkot na gulay—daw ‘yung authentic immersion ay kasama rin dito: gutom bilang parte ng experience.
Higit pang masama—the scholarship program parang bureaucratic theater: puno ng form pero walang transparency tungkol kay siya mismo yung natatapunan.
ZuBerlin hindi masama—it’s just overpriced for what it gives. Kung gusto mo lang mga talakayan? Panoorin online later—at i-save mo pera.
Hackerspaces & Hidden Gems: c-base & ChainSafe
debate tungkol tokenomics o layer-2 scaling pwede hintayin—the totoo nga bang kuwento ay ilalim.
Binisita ko si c-base—lahat-lahi hackerspace noong 1995 bilang “extended living room.” Walang glass wall o branded swag—tanging tao lamang na bumabalik-buo ng broken hardware habambuhay nila pagguhit digital graffiti gamit glow-in-the-dark ink sa server racks.
Pagkatapos, dumating ako kay ChainSafe HQ kung saan nagbabago sila kay Lodestar (Ethereum’s consensus client) gamit si Zig—a language known for performance and safety pero madalas hindi nakikita labas lang from embedded systems communities.
Tinatawag nila ito Lodestar 2.0—and they need contributors familiar with Zig or Bun FFI experiments.* The ethos is simple: gawin mong umiiral—even if breaks your smartwatch along the way (RIP Leo’s wrist device).
Final Takeaways: Ano Ang Dapat Mong Alamin Bago Mamaya
copy paste:
1. Free events ≠ low quality — PB proves that community-run spaces can outshine commercial ones in depth and dignity.
2. High prices don’t equal value — especially when volunteers are exploited instead of empowered.
3. Real innovation happens outside panels — at hackathons where founders code side-by-side with newcomers under fluorescent lights,
fueled by terrible coffee and big dreams.

Berlin Blockchain Week? More like Berlin Budget Break!
Nakakalito talaga yung vibe—parang nakauwi ka sa kanto ng tech at rebelde. Ang PB? Parang TED Talk na may popcorn at zero sponsor drama.
Pero ang ZuBerlin? Pwede naman mag-workshop sa bahay mo para i-save ang €650! Ang gulo lang—volunteer pa nga pero pinagtrato tulad ng kahoy.
Sabi nila “authentic immersion”… pero ang real ay gutom at nagtitiis sa boiled chicken.
Ang totoo? Ang tunay na innovation ay nasa mga hackathons—sa ilalim ng fluorescent light, kasama ang maliit na coffee at malaking pangarap.
So ano ba? Pumili ng pagkain o piliin ang knowledge?
Ano kayo dito? Comment section na lang! 🚀
ไปเบอร์ลินครั้งนี้รู้สึกเหมือนได้เข้าฉากในหนังไซไฟที่มีแต่คนคุยเรื่องเทคโนโลยีแบบไม่ต้องแกล้งดูเก่ง 😂
PB จัดแบบไม่มีโฆษณา มีแค่การพูดคุยเรื่องจริงๆ เหมือนอยู่ในโรงหนัง IMAX ที่ฉาย TED Talk!
แต่ ZuBerlin… เงิน 650 ยูโรเพื่อซื้อความหิวและทำงาน 16 ชั่วโมง? เห็นแล้วอยากถามกลับว่า ‘งานนี้จ่ายเป็นข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงไหม?’ 🍚
ถ้าจะมาฟังเวิร์กช็อป กดดูออนไลน์ก่อนดีกว่า เพราะของจริงอยู่ที่ c-base และ ChainSafe ที่โค้ดกันกลางคืนใต้แสงฟลูออเรสเซนต์…
ใครเคยเห็นโปรเจกต์โค้ดบนสมาร์ตวอทช์พังเพราะแรงบันดาลใจ? มาแชร์กันหน่อย! ⬇️
Aqui em Berlim não é só tecnologia — é um fado com código! Vi um desenvolvedor de ZK-Rollup a beber café às 5 da manhã enquanto conserta um contrato inteligente que paga em NFTs… e ainda assim o sistema pede um visto Schengen! Se você pensa que DeFi é caro? Pois é — mas o verdadeiro valor está naquele buraco onde o pão é decente e os sonhos são de cenoura. E sim — o Bitcoin não compra amor… mas compra tempo para sobreviver. E você? Já tentou programar algo sem pagar? 😉
ما هذا البلوكشين؟ جيت نتمنا من البرلين؟ شفت حملة الكاميل تمشي على سلسلة بلوكشين، والجزرة تقول لي: “هل الخصوصية مُجنسَّة؟”! شفتي حساباتي بعد ثلاث قفزات، ودفعت بـ 650 يورو علشان أسمع نصائح مهندسٍ ما زال يحمل غطاءً… وأنا فجأةً صرت رهيبًا! هل تصدقون أن الحاضر يُقدّم خبزًا مسلوقًا؟ لا، بل هو كاميلٌ يُصلي بكواد QR!
