Why bitcoiners go to bitcoin conferences?
Nowadays we have an inflation of bitcoin conferences.
I mean a real bitcoiner will hear and see the same thing that he already knows about Bitcoin.
I think these conferences should be more populated by nocoiners, pre-coiners, noobs etc.
For me personally, I would not waste my money to go to.
I would prefer local meetups and workshops than fancy conferences that in the end do not say anything new, and on top of that, will bring meaningless shitcoiners and companies that only want to shill their shity product that is not even related to bitcoin, they just pretend to be.
Yes, on the backstage, many other workshops are happening, but why we can't have real public workshops that could bring more merchants to know about all these bitcoin solutions, real use cases how to use bitcoin FOR FUCKING PAYMENTS, not "asset speculation" and crap like that?

same, but I don't like conferences in general, mostly a waste of time, I rather meet Bitcoiners privately.

I have been going to more Pub Key events, which are sometimes like mini bitcoin conferences. I have never gone to a big one. I must admit that I'm tempted. If I go it will be more to meet and talk to other bitcoiners than for the speakers.

This is why I want to go I been to a few meet ups around me but they end up dying

I know we all want to protect our identities, but I would really like to have the opportunity to talk to a lot of you guys in person.

Yea I go back and forth about this privacy identity stuff. But then the idea of privacy is to selectively reveal yourself as you wish to the world plus knowing how I am I’ll end up Doxing myself sooner or later
reply
Me too. Using an alternate identity doesn't come naturally for me.

I actually met my first SN member last night live and in the flesh. He's not a big poster, and I didn't know he was on SN until he told me. So, that guy was real, I think.

The essence of these events, in my view, should indeed shift towards educating those who are not yet part of the Bitcoin community.

I agree. I tend towards being a hermit. I like meeting other bitcoiners in person.
