Just got back from Buenos Aires for https://btcpp.dev/conf/ba24 . Just as high quality of an event as the one in Mexico, @niftynei did a great job organizing. Presentations were solid, mostly about engineering using Lightning for real world scenarios. It was great to get a concrete sense of what the south American community of Bitcoin engineers are like, I was impressed, a lot of very competent people. Bitcoin conferences used to mainly consist of dreamers .. but nowadays I see people that are both normal, and also seem like they could get shit done.

I also finally got to experience the famous "bitcoin LARP" in person (I have some things to say about that, will probably write a separate note).

As promised:

The Bitcoin LARP exercise at btc++ Buenos Aires: as a former teacher of many years, this was very interesting to me. I almost felt like I was back in my first year or two of teaching (or learning to teach), because this had the key elements that were considered so crucial in teaching to mixed ability groups. Learning in small groups, learning by discovery, open endedness of tasks, and the, let's say "emotional timbre" (fun vs dry/boring). Another aspect is having goals/targets .. a little bit of lighthearted competition. (1/2)
