After a stopover at the Viva Technology convention, our journalist Paul Deswattines stops by the TimeToDecrypt conference. Condensed into an eight-minute video!

The TimeToCrypto 2022 program
"I'd done some clever calculations, to say that, roughly speaking, when Bitcoin was worth 2 million five hundred thousand euros, it would have enough mass to enable international commodity exchanges.
So that Putin could sell his gas, I don't know who. And to make transactions worth several hundred million or several billion. Bitcoin would have to be worth about two million five."
Paul takes us with him to the heart of three different events, featuring a number of great speakers, such as Alexander Stachtchenko, to name but one, who hosts a debate on whether or not blockchain will solve all our problems. The second was about Bitcoin, and the third about blockchain security in general. Notably focused on the question: is it possible to hack it?
"If you're a beginner. If you're starting out in this ecosystem, there are two good pieces of advice that we're going to give you, that pretty much everyone will give you. The first? Avoid the short term. If you buy Bitcoin and say to yourself, "Yes, in seven days it'll be higher, I'll resell."
You're trying to make a living as a trader. In the phrase "trader's trade", there's trade. It's not a couple of videos we saw on the Internet. You can do technical analysis, but it's work, it's research, it's failures, it's learning. Seeing a guy on YouTube, drawing two lines and telling you "here, this according to the MACD is going to take 12%" is a lie, it doesn't exist.
There are even people who calculate crypto using lunar cycles. So maybe it works for planting radishes, but for Bitcoin, I'm not so sure."
That's the end of the story for Paul, who will be taking part in the whole day of the conference to film the report, rich in laughter, information, debate and Q&A. The latter, however, will have to be honest about their differing opinions. A niche atmosphere that creates a sense of comfort for Paul and his peers.
And let's not forget an aside on macrofinance, the vision of the future of the economy. We salute the hospitality of the event, which offered snacks and drinks. Paul also met Hasheur, who was generous enough to let him take a photo with him, as well as giving a talk on investment.
Conclusion
If we were to write a list of places to visit or events to attend, TimeToCrypto would definitely be among them. It's a great way to demonetize cryptocurrency and blockchain. And all its assets. A conference serves as an educational tool, with some potential to change the minds of a silent majority.
That majority against the practice of electronic money.
Despite a speaking time of just half an hour for its guests and speakers, TimeToDecrypt has succeeded in its aim for its first edition in April 2022.
