The conference circuit can feel noisy, but I've noticed the ones that matter most are where you end up in hallway conversations with people actually building infrastructure. What I've learned is that the real edge comes from combining conference insights with systematic tracking of on-chain data and adoption metrics — after years of trying to piece together the signal myself, I actually built a platform to analyze Bitcoin's longer-term position, which helps me filter which events are worth my time. The conferences are useful for qualitative context, but quantitative metrics tell you whether the narrative is real. Which ones are you planning to hit?
