As a New York-based crypto analyst with an INTJ mind and choleric temperament, I attended Berlin Blockchain Week to witness the quiet revolution in decentralized tech. From the free, uncommercialized Protocol Berg V2 to the surreal, overpriced ZuBerlin—where volunteers trade labor for access—I found authenticity in zk hack marathons and c-base’s cyberpunk ethos. No ads. No hype. Just clean code, deep talks, and silicon silence.
