Y'all think the Bitcoin Magazine conference in Vegas has anyone building the Bitcoin circular economy?
Or is "Using Bitcoin" just gonna be a LARP again?
Discussion
LARP. Vegas is the quintessential fiat city.
To be fair they did buy a president using bitcoin…. Sort of circular economy.
That president h
Legally had to sell any Bitcoin donations for dollars instantly, but sure
Please inquire and let us know how much itd cost, I bet its astounding
At this point, anyone who isn't on nostr is kinda larping.
To a degree. Just onboarded a guy today who wasn't larping. Just not using much social media
That's fair, when people don't know about it or aren't using social media much anyway.
There are just lots of prominent podcasters who preach decentralisation, but are sticking to centralised platforms for the views.
Part of me gets it, when it is argued that centralised platforms are where new viewership is. However, I would buy that argument more, if they equally used Nostr as they do other platforms.
It's an incentives battle. If you can't really grow your reach here, it's hard to really make money, but it's also not that hard to cross post. Props to Walker for all he's doing especially.
I don't really feel badly towards bitcoiners who don't use NOSTR unless they're obviously larping.
All I know is that the real ride or dies are here and once you really GET IT on Nostr, you stay here. So this is the place to be in the future and it makes sense to build here now
Not just for being a strong advocate of Nostr and fully integrating it into his business, but for also entering a space many believed was already saturated, and absolutely crushing it.
💯💯💯
Haven't been to one, but watching their stream made me feel like I was at an insurance sales convention.
I don't like that.
I only felt I connected with Ross's call from prison. It was moving, powerful, and the people sitting there couldn't care less. They were just walking away as if they were bored.
It made me sad.
The conferences are pretty damn fun and educational actually. People bitch about shitcoin adjacent companies being there, but it's easy to ignore and the people are awesome.
Smaller conferences are better, but the big one is a fun thing to experience
