good morning nostr, making a deliberate decision to go to less conferences - small high signal events provide much more value to me at this point

Thats true 👌🏼
GM my conference count is 0
Go to some if you can. Witnessing the community in person is empowering. Don't go to all.
It’s the missionaries that make the small conferences happen. It’s the mercenaries that allow for the big conferences.
Gm, stay sovereign.
Agreed.
I always thought conferences were always just for the influencers.
Good morning ☕
#bitcoin only
Conferences are becoming echo chamber at this point.
Always thought the whole conference thing sounded a bit like a circle jerk anyway but I’m not from the US, I think you have a lot more culture of that there.
Good morning nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
sorry for not meeting you in Amsterdam this week.
Guess it will be great
Telling 70 students (if they turn up) that someone found the hidden seed phrase and is now around 800k sats wealthier. Not a Bitcoin event, but doing my part. Will attempt to stay humble, but pretty excited someone actually took the bait!
Gah, that should have been 400k sats, I’m not $200 fiat rich!
Good morning, KYC is the illicit activity
More building, less talking
(Thank you to all the builders I’m just a stakeholder)
Are you doing any small gathering at Bitcoin park at Nashville soon? Next time, I will definitely attend
Good morning. Happy to hear this
Gm🤙
After listening to the latest @rhr I am Nostr-only now.
#freedomtech
I feel ya, good point.
Bitcoin Park ruined any other bitcoin events for me so probably only TABconf next year.
gm stay focused ☕️
💯%
Same same but in regards to podcasts, everyone and their grandmother has a bitcoin podcast now.
GM. Hear ya- keep sending that great hometown signal with global distribution
GM! Completely understand. So much conferences, so little time
GM! Agree, at the same time I’ll be visiting Bitcoin Amsterdam within a few days. This is my first conference to attend. Initiatives such as nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha and nostr:npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 do not exist in the Amsterdam area as far as I know. Directly creates the opportunity to start something🫡
GM Odell 🤙
Sending you a DM on this right now.
Good morning ☕.
I'm proud to say I have been to exactly zero bitcoin conferences. I have learned everything I know about bitcoin from reading, listening to podcasts, & watching videos. All the money I would have spent on conference tickets, hotels, & airfares has been spent on bitcoin instead. Stay humble, stack sats 👍
Smart. Take Care!
gm champ. wise decision to channel your energy on the most important ones!💯🫡
Agreed!
Morning☕️🫂
Makes sense
Bitcoin Amsterdam will be (for now) my last major conference.
Noderunners / some freaks will be represented, but we can channel our energy to the most important ones -> Small, high-signal meetups and really orange-pill people. Teach & guide people.
Stay humble Matt 😎
💯🎯🙌
Agreed, TABConf would be the only conference I would consider again purely for the aspect of development. From now on I am going to be spending a lot more time curating our local BitDevs instead.
It's too much, NOSTR and Bitcoin. There is signal but with 100s of people an 100s of hours of content it takes time to extract the nuggets or best salient points. To me, it's easy to hang out with like minded people, harder to reach those who don't like or understand NOSTR/Bitcoin. Change is hard.
What events are you excited about? 🫡
Sounds like a Bitcoin Bush Bash coming on.
they are monetizing you.
please go to big crypto / shitcoin conferences instead. Imagine the impact
Conferences are shitcoins
