It's pretty hard to help with marketing musicians, who are not willing to provide any live videos. "Why would you record such a shame? Just tell them to come! Why are no tickets sold??"

Dumbass🤦🏻‍♀️

Die nächste ist Ende Mai 2026, schau bei nostr:nprofile1qqs9yw9tfflempmf94fs4umcsvfnuqns2wy7ahdfptt2cft0gfkn5lspr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mgpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt4w35ku7thv9kxcet59e3k7mgw2yala immer mal wieder vorbei

Das letzte Wochenende im Juli aber die Tickets sind immer gleich ausverkauft

The „Bitcoin Zitadelle“, a Bitcoin-only conference in Germany, attracted approximately 400 visitors last year. This unique event distinguished itself by allowing all purchases, including tickets, food, and drinks, to be made exclusively with Bitcoin. Notably, the beer stand alone recorded almost 2100 transactions during the conference.

In comparison, the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas boasts 4000 transactions despite having 20,000 attendees. Interestingly, the previous year at this so-called Bitcoin conference, there were only 800 bitcoin transactions over three days.

So if you want to take part in a real bitcoin conference, this is this years location in Juli:

Used your post to have chatGPT help me break down and understand each element better:

1. The Block Size

• What it is: Each block can only hold a limited amount of transaction data.

• Current limit: ~1 to 4MB (via SegWit).

• Why it matters: It forces a trade-off—Bitcoin prioritizes decentralization (smaller blocks mean more people can run nodes) over processing huge volumes of transactions.

⸻

2. The Supply Cap

• What it is: Bitcoin has a hard-coded limit of 21 million coins.

• Why it matters: This makes Bitcoin provably scarce, unlike fiat currencies which can be endlessly printed. Scarcity gives it store-of-value properties (like digital gold).

⸻

3. The Difficulty Adjustment (absolute genius)

• What it is: Every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks), Bitcoin adjusts how hard it is to mine a block.

• Why it’s genius: If miners suddenly increase, blocks will come too fast—Bitcoin increases difficulty. If miners drop off, it lowers it.

• Result: This keeps block times stable and makes Bitcoin resilient to fluctuations in mining power, no matter how much energy or hardware is thrown at it.

⸻

4. The ~10-Minute Block Interval

• What it is: On average, a new block is mined every 10 minutes.

• Why it matters: This is a deliberate balance:

• Long enough to minimize orphaned blocks (conflicts between miners)

• Short enough to confirm transactions in reasonable time

• Helps keep decentralization—no one miner can dominate block production

⸻

5. The Fee Market

• What it is: When block space is scarce, users compete with fees to get included.

• Why it matters:

• Incentivizes miners (especially important after block rewards diminish)

• Encourages economic use of the chain (not spam or junk)

• Makes Bitcoin self-sustaining without central planning

⸻

6. Private/Public Keys

• What it is: Each user controls a private key (a secret) that proves ownership of Bitcoin. From it, a public key (your address) is derived.

• Why it matters:

• You can receive with your public address

• You can only spend with your private key

• Gives true financial self-sovereignty—no need for banks or permissions

⸻

7. The UTXO Set (Unspent Transaction Outputs)

• What it is: Bitcoin is not account-based like a bank—it’s built on a ledger of unspent chunks of Bitcoin.

• Example: If Alice sends you 0.1 BTC, that’s a UTXO. When you spend it, it’s destroyed and new UTXOs are created.

• Why it matters: It’s like cash. You hand over “coins” (UTXOs), not draw from a balance. This enhances privacy, auditability, and flexibility.

⸻

8. The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network

• What it is: Bitcoin nodes connect directly to each other, no central servers.

• Why it matters:

• Decentralized and robust

• No single point of failure

• Censorship-resistant and globally accessible

⸻

9. The Adversarial & Anti-Fragile Nature

• Adversarial: Bitcoin is built assuming participants may be greedy, dishonest, or hostile.

• Consensus rules make cheating impossible without massive cost.

• Anti-fragile: Attacks and stress make Bitcoin stronger.

• Government bans = more innovation.

• Exchange failures = more self-custody.

• Miner exits = difficulty adjusts.

Bitcoin adapts, strengthens, and evolves under pressure—like a living organism.

I put together a checklist of actionable steps you can take to improve your digital privacy and security. Work through them as you get the time.

What I’m excited to find more of here on nostr:

*Folks actively engaged in BTC circle economies

*Businesses, services & goods who take BTC as payment

*People strategising how to let go of the Control System & move more of their time, value & energy into the Free Market

*Folks getting orange pilled

*Events for connection

*Tips, stories and experiences of self sovereignty

*Ultimately anything along these lines that inspires!
