Maybe a good parallel is that a JavaScript conference is probably going to be more full than a Linux one. It probably shouldn’t even be a goal for bitcoin to aim to be like the former. Events like btc++ and TABConf imo are generally the right size to also maintain quality for this reason. Scaling Bitcoin had this vibe too. Much smaller but every talk just had my head hurting from the density of info.

Thanks, Buck. Good points. Would you say the same applies to new devs, say who might otherwise drift toward eth, solana, etc? Could we ever have too many?

I wouldn’t say you can have too many but you don’t want to aim for the lowest common denominator either. That said, I think there are things we can do to attract quality devs/engineers too.
