I had a ton of fun hanging out with the Vancouverites (sorry Calgary)!
A few things stood out to me
- I met virtually no one who didn't already have some interest in bitcoin - so no "walk ins"
- People loved conversational ice breakers like this
- It really helped to have 3 different "stages" - for talks, hangs, and dancing/ chilling
- It's vitally important to have people educate on setting up a wallet + help newcomers break in and using the tech
- I thought the "up and down" stickers to indicate if people are interested in buying/ selling bitcoin was compelling
Overall, agree with Leo. Experiencing bitcoin is the point.
Bitcoin is a human solution to human problems.
