In defense of conferences and attending them: if you don’t have more non-builders than builders, then the builders won’t have profitable and sustainable businesses. They just have a hobby. You need a large audience if potential customers to have a successful industry of any type.

The "conferences are bad opsec" crowd is strange to me. Like yeah man, no shit. I don't think most people care that much.
🫡Can always go as a nym and wear big sunglasses and/or mask.
Not a sin to just have a good time and enjoy good company.
Always great to have more builders but got to have plebs as customers and fans too.
