Midcurve conferences will deliver midcurve outcomes.

The largest conferences will necessarily and irreducibly reflect the middle 80% of where Bitcoin currently is.

The trick is not to mark-to-market what you hear from these ComicCon events as an attack on your version of the truth.

Big events for the masses are a measure of central tendency - not an attack on principles of bitcoin or a reflection of the direction of bitcoin. These events are derivative of builders, insiders, experts, plebs. Such conferences will always land 50% between where the public is, and where the technology is, trying to span that large gap.

Fuck the price, fuck the traveling Bitcoin circuses with the same faces and the same chants over and over. Take them for what they are - low fidelity, high appeal, diluted signal repeaters. And a chance to meet and hug and speak with people who are usually a cartoon profile pic for the rest of the year.
