I'm watching the conference on YT. Bitcoin Magazine's stream.

Is it just me, or is it starting to feel like propaganda to anyone else?

I could be wrong, but .. 🤷

Bitcoiners are often compared to cults

Haven’t had time or curiosity to check it out yet. Only talk i’m interested in seeing without delay at #B2025 is nostr:npub1pzzrdngrnlufqazx3lfj07k0vfuya6ehfy8q5yv2h8c5e8fxgmxqhxdsr8 ‘s.

Besides that i’ve been more inspired to watch the #OsloFreedomForum; where tomorrow promises to be an awesome line up of freedom tech talks 🤙🔥

Will probably catch up to seeing some of the ones at Vegas at some point during this week or next. 🙃

I'll watch Oslo. Seems like the better solution. But do want to see Ross.

🤙💜

always has been on main stage, people forget scam Bank man was on stage 4 years ago

Open source stage feels diff

Seems like it gets worse.

Yeah not exactly 'cypherpunk' 🥴

This conference has never been Cypherpunk friendly.

Go to the baltic honeybadger for that.

This is a mainstream tradfi, statist circlejerk conference with a splash of nostr people in the mix.

Except Peter Todd is a speaker there this year 🤢

Right now there isn’t an obvious existential threat to Bitcoin like there was 2 years ago.

Also conferences change in nature Look at shotshow now vs 20 years ago.

It feels very scripted and I'm wondering if that's cause it's a lot of suits onstage all day 🤔

Conferences don’t help with adoption. Just stack, spend, share. Ignore the noise

Yes. Feels terrible. Tough to watch

Las Vegas has been a propaganda conference for a few years 🤷‍♂️

Bitcoin Magazine is total propaganda. But it's OUR propaganda, not theirs :-)
