Hey nostriches, I need your honest opinion 🙏🏼
Would you go to a Bitcoin event that has the conference element, but it’s more of an experience?
If for example there are many activities, and everything is related to Bitcoin, but most of those activities are not your classic conference talk or panel…??
Sure
What kind of an experience? Most of us have BTC and use it, there's nostr:nprofile1qqsd54k9fd0xwjwkttgr3svkg7reftu5una95nhacg95nxq7fmzkdscpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcdmwcdp and I'm not sure what else is there to be experienced, what could draw me extra to a conference🤔
I mean human experiences, with a Bitcoin aproach. For example enjoy Bitcoin art, but also the possibility of painting a mural… or experience low time preference with yoga lessons or surf lessons… etc
So like for example yoga lessons from nostr:nprofile1qqsfln36agetx43hsw8mgkm4hce9j46zu94m8er59nyzhv74p7gg0espzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmqf83v6s or what some painters make here, but in real life? What's the conference element in it? I'm sorry to ask details, I don't seem to grasp it well but am curious.
I think people are tired of conferences, somewhat. While it’s great to engage irl, panels often regurgitate the same thing. (A complaint I hear often, however, there is DAILY change around here, so not sure how accurate this is, I’m guessing it refers to Bitcoin conferences rather than #Nostr ones)
I think 🤔 the experience angle is much better! It would give people a chance to get to know each other better
And yes, I teach #yoga, I’m part of nostr:npub1jwev660jrdrfeaw2u9sssv3v4jgsxqs32qmd5yhpgzlesg5j0gase4qha6 and we’re ramping up for #CultureShock25
Last year, we had panels, a live show by nostr:npub17yemy3hswcelmcdgjsfn4sns4wr4q5ptvj5h08qt4s7fy2qe3hdqsczs99 on nostr:npub1h8gzew8am6cezuq7cpjgudldra40hgnruqrqlsrqnxnzs5wjtczqztps02 and food by nostr:npub1zas6j8r62ejfadxrvqsrp27qdszdpr87hdg4jyussfrx72eek86sjg8sm8 and @cyndra priced in sats. We had a few vendors too.
I fail to see the difference between this and normal market, just paid in Bitcoin🤔
nostr:npub1h8ktyt8zvqc8dcpk7yh9gq6fs0csqcujlkqdwwspwgtef9ral6xqzugdky just did a market in Charlotte with merchants paying in BTC, many for the 1st time
Alright, so just a happening or any type, but purposely paid in btc? Is that the main thought? Festival as nostr:nprofile1qqstsw3gkljwt5stm9svt7htvcjlj4ffze4chkcyt4pxxj30xkgeg5qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegkfx43z wrote for example. That? I was confused. It's true there's not much like that yet. That would require a lot of marketing research in an area. My czech Bitcoiners are often vastly different from Nostriches.
I think we just have to try and create whatever little circular economies we can 🤷♀️
I'm not sure going btc only is the way to reach wide enough audience though. I won't drive in people who don't have it yet. And those who are orange pilled don't need further pilling.🤔
I’ve tried being the only BTC person in a market. Ended up taking zero BTC payments, but did show one Gen a guy nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg and that was cool.
I think it’s good to show merchants that BTC is an option though. Like helloooooo there *is* an alternative to all the venmo and PayPal and Zelle bullshit.
But people love that bullshit and don’t realize why it’s bullshit.
So I think we have to offer incentives if we take payments in BTC. Like a % discount.
It's still not about a special thing happening, that's the general pro btc approach. I teach paid in btc too, ask in cafés, mention it on concerts and such. My local 21 group has monthly parties, pizza day and so on, where merchants are paid in btc. For the rest there are things like BTC Prague, I thought that's where the general thought goes.
super interesting!
That's 100% our vibe, so YES! 🔥💫⚡️
most plebs talk about going to conferences to meet/hang out IRL🤙🏽
I don’t think any orange pilled plebs go for panels - there’s a YouTube for that 😂
It’s my feeling too!
The experience is having all those people in one place; the whole conference is just an excuse to get them there. For me atleast :)
Yeah for me too!
Sounds nice! Yes!
Art is such a crucial element to deliver the Bitcoin signal.
There is a big bitcoin conference in Arg Labitconf), are you going to bring some of your work here?
💯 yes. A bitcoin cultural festival, for example
Exactly... I would enjoy that so much, but I wonder if people would make the effort of traveling, to be part of such an experience...
I was at the bitcoin film festival in Warsaw in April. There were more than 200 people there over three days - fantastic experience
Would hve loved to be there!!!
Hope you can join us this May 🫵🧡
ohh... I´ll try 🧡
Would be lovely 💕🫂 We'd be also honoured to show some of your work. If you have any questions, send us a DM. Or talk directly to Şela (who you also know, nostr:nprofile1qqsg6kaf9jxv502uwwf0qwf6k9daplr0vdpjtdz32s0q7ly6cmp7e4gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxuet59ut09fhw ).
Thank you Avi 😊 in fact there were more than 300 people, and for the quality of the entire experience we don't want to make it too big/mass. Flo here https://v.nostr.build/MI7nQxG72jeppHvG.mp4 you can get a bit of its vibe (BFF24). Btw. Avi you're in this video as well 😎
Here's one more, combining BFF and European Halving Party https://v.nostr.build/hO5XwvIYwpu5zuZA.mp4
Orange pilled with the #chopek in da arssss where my head expload
I think the Bitcoin First conference works something like that. Its invite only and just past but their concept is similar to what you are describing.
Nice!
