I call them as I see them. No apology.

Has this conference increased the number of bitcoin holders? The number of nostr users? Lightning adoption? Bitcoin in self custody? Has it changed the temperature of the water in a single swimming pool? Anything?

Or did all anyone get was 3 days of corporate announcements that could have been done with an email to a press outlet?

Looks like all that really matters are the Bitcoiners who got to meet irl for the first time and nobody needs a convention center for that. Might as well have rented a Colorado ranch in a valley. It would have been cheaper.

The only one of these things I’ve been to is BitBlockBoom and THAT was kick ass . . . and the Kerrville Beef Initiative summit which was also kick ass.
