Just that conflating "transactions per attendee on the recommended platform we track" with the "quality of the crowd" is little disingenuous.
it's a small sample of all the transactions happening during the conference. And it says more about how good a job the organizer did with onboarding the beer & coffee vendors than anything else.
It's a good direction, but I wouldn't overfocus on this metric.
Found this post by nostr:npub190dy7q6yd0qudlcqt98r2zs70mzhlwwdcjnm2f55yg74dns9n85sja09r3 on Xitter today and it just shows how much noise there is out there.
Bitcoin transactions per attendee tell us about the quality of the crowd that attends these conferences. Sometimes we get blinded by the shiny lights and big names but forget that NGU is not what matters.
We need to live by our words and beliefs.
I am also beyond proud to see how one of the smallest conferences in Europe, Baltic Honeybadger by nostr:npub1yul83qxn35u607er3m7039t6rddj06qezfagfqlfw4qk5z5slrfqu8ncdu, has the highest number of transactions per attendee.
Even prouder to work with and call my best friend, the mastermind behind this conference, nostr:npub1zu5tdnq7w63fgmsfz85te7e6zeg7y2lt8q8r9jp5zcg68jfy73jqraqtgz and to have done the same set up for nostr:npub1h493d0qgwhu95s82zd9sxrt3ckn3ttgvaf04z02neckadxw5fkvqte4cwz with her.
All of these conferences are organized by bitcoiners who do this because they clearly see the importance of leading by example.
Like Anna, nostr:npub1tdc9um9kqfp9cqvjqtwswzsvqzdsgzkpn9swamed3286kfwpaljsrr8r0y, nostr:npub1f40egu9fymsz0qmg9cyqgtl0u7vznxsyr3czse6x66jp3d9723uszajn7l, and nostr:npub137x48n3c7wzyaawmeydkwdxdkvg3gd2mvpp6phrjft9y5xrxqa9q9kz69c are good people who put in the PoW to ensure their cities learn about and use #bitcoin.
Great job, guys 👏! I want to be like all of you when I grow up!

The sentiment makes sense, but the data to support it seems weak. Almost feels Keynesian to me to be willing to support our talking points and ideas with knowingly poor data.
- Where is it coming from?
- What kinds of transactions is it missing?
Tip for a chill day in Paraguay - find a body of water, throw in some meat, sit down and watch piranhas do their work. It's like feeding ducks, but better.

Damn! Is it safe to swim anywhere over there? Just in the pools?
No, but I do like to automatically suppress reach of the scammers and spammers. WoT should help keep it decentralized.
I found this article fascinating. Mainstream discussion of third places and why Starbucks is so mid.
What do y'all think?
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/19/business/starbucks-mobile-orders-third-place/index.html
"The best way Starbucks can preserve the third place in the digital age is to improve ordering on the mobile app for both customers and workers, she said."
- good luck if that's what she said 🤷♂️
No border agent will be fired or fined for it 🤷♂️
We'll be choosing our own algorithms in time. That will be the ultimate piece towards the free market for the social media attention.
Unironically, it might be a perfect fit 🍻
I'd copy it and make a doner kebab rating app companion.
Cancel culture is downstream from the centralized protocols (including states).
On the open market (protocol), it will have limited impact, and hopefully would be thrn less attractive to the perpetrators.
SPACs for everyone.
And yet it moves.
No matter our opinions about it.
I'll give it a listen, though ;-)
Maybe he's just trying to unload his real estate bags on Bitcoiners. Bitcoin is the hurdle rate, if you're generating less, you're wasting your family's energy.
They open sourced their code and they are inviting partners to integrate and build on top of Bitkey. Not permisionless (they won't merge things they don't want in their apps, but a solid and pragmatic goodwill).
I expect many more integrations coming, and the priority will be based on the mutual demand, tech compatibility, vision alignment...
Peach is probably too small a player for the first round. Hopefully soon.
Do you think more people would move money from btc to other crypto because of this?
Or that it would be rather an escape valve in the opposite way?
I'm leaning to the latter. And that options are good.
On the other hand, there's much less to lose with pardoning Ross vs these examples. It's very apolitical.
That has been the case for 10 years now.
I wonder what this weekend does to Trump's promise. His chances to act on it are certainly much higher.
