Also they boycotted the final speech on the main stage, where nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnfw33k76twwpshy6ewvdhk6qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aq93vhd7, nostr:nprofile1qqs00gg8v9v8qghg8we0kkgyswxun4x700n7chwrc95e5nrfrcxzchgpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9utes5c3, nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gprpmhxw309akk7mnpvshx5c34x5hxxmmd8gurqwpsqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdaks7vj9m5 and nostr:nprofile1qqsdxpmyx4rhqdfhml00sywrm65k78u7snyzf83qqdf5ykfy4xgge7qppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5q3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7qglwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx26tww4hxg7nhv9h856t89eehqctrv53g6pa5 where talking about #Nostr to shill next year convention in Vegas, and preaching and hoping Buffet amd Jamie Diamond would attend..

Discussion
Does next year's venue at the Venician in LV amplify that "wrong direction" sentiment in your estimation?
not really, at least not for me. I think moving the location of the conference is good; the die hards will travel no matter where, and you can inspire locals to go who otherwise wouldn't make a trek.
I personally understand Bitcoin Magezine is a company with their own incentives and will highlight in "the bitcoin world" will be beneficial to them first and foremost
I am personally more interested in the discussions happening on the OS stage, and would appreciate one camera pointed that way. I don't expect the same production value as what they're pouring into the main stage. but I'm just one pleb with an opinion - clearly not their intended audience lol.
thankfully there are other more technical conferences to fill the gap; but I feel like this conference has the platform to do more, and do it better.
I was mostly referring to the opulence of the venue. it's one thing to have it at a municipal convention center whether in Miami, Nashville, or Los Vegas. But the Venician looks more like a wedding venue all glitzy with marble and gold. Does that send the right message?
ah I understand what you mean now.
to me this is like a crypto bro flexing their new lambo; they are flexing their wealth and influence to self-validate their own perceived status. fiat behavior from the Magezine. imo, the wrong direction to move.
