With you. Still getting my head around it.

I'm with ya

Elaborate please. Bitcoin conference to me is usually a miss of expectations but interested in specifics

As my 4 year old would say, "weird weird weird."

The Lummis announcement felt like a Faustian Bargain to me but idk

Yeah like the simulation is off lately

growing pains

The politicians and banksters made it corporate and slimy. The conference lost some of its authenticity.

Plus nostr panel got bumped because of Trump 😡 not cool at all. Nostr and BTC are the signal not politicians

Yes. Before this Bitcoin Magazine conference I would've bought a Vegas 2025 ticket. Not now.

Hopefully they'll be a different more genuine Bitcoin focussed conference put together by other people.

+1. Were things extremely politicized this year compared to others?
