I’m going to end up doing a full year without going to bitcoin conferences, by design.

I skipped Nashville, skipped MENA, skipped all the European ones. Nothing against them. Just wasn’t feeling it.

I did the Oslo Freedom Forum in June, but that’s not a bitcoin conference. The last actual one I did was Madeira in spring 2024.

Sometimes it’s good to take a break and refocus rather than phone it in and say the same things again. The things I said before are still valid, so why say them again, you know?

I’ve been traveling to visit family and friends instead.

Maybe when you are ready to attend again you can do the https://bitcoincruise.com/ as it will be fresh and introduce both newbies to Bitcoin while providing a great experience and reunion for maxis

The redundancy of preaching to choir has grown tiresome.

I've never been to one. Stack sats instead. My ego can die.

Nice! Have you considered a Nostr conference? 😄

I think many of us can relate to being in that boat. With so much noise around us, it’s the perfect time to self-reflect and build with intention. I love attending conferences to connect and grow with the community, though they can sometimes feel draining. nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswk...

Nice. Sometimes, if you don’t have anything new or innovative to say, it’s best to refocus, as you mentioned. You often see the same people at these conferences shamelessly saying and building the same things, just phrasing it differently. It makes Bitcoin conferences feel more like propaganda m...

Fair. I’m focusing more local. Doing meetups etc. can’t miss Bitblockboom but not sure about Vegas not feeling it either
