Am I a Bitcoin purist? A Bitcoin Templar? Yes, and I've never been to a fucking conference and never will.
Help your local dealer use Bitcoin; you'll be doing more for Bitcoin that way than spending your money on shitty conferences that only benefit the organizers.
Btc Conferences grew me as an individual. You can also meet people and create and grow ideas together! Conferences like #tabconf use all thr money for the conference and events. They also have a break down of where all then money goes to at the last talk. I believe Bitcoin++ does the same.
