⚡️ My friend who organizes @Satsconf opened up about how tough it’s been to run the event — burnout, emotional strain, and even financial losses. This year he almost took a $30k personal hit, and the Bitcoin community stepped up to help cover most of it. Now he’s launched a campaign for anyone who wants to support his work — and maybe help cover last year’s $60k loss too. It’s not drama or marketing. It’s just someone who’s put everything on the line to make something amazing happen for the Bitcoin community in Brazil. 👉 ajude.satsconf.com.br
