Key takeaways from the 2025 conference: 1. Stablecoins are the future. 2. Politicians got your back and deserve your vote. 3. Blockchain is the revolution. 4. Wall Street deserves your bitcoin and your trust. 5. Crypto is incredible technology. 6. Everything will be tokenized. 7. Bitcoin is okay. 8. Las Vegas is the perfect location for this conference… so we’re doing it again next year!

☑️ 🤣 😵‍💫 Clever post, spiced with just the right amount of Sarc. Message received ... loud and clear.
The more it is adopted by the politicians with ulterior motives, I more skeptical I get despite the technology. The technology might be super but human nature is worse in equal proportions to offset whatever good that can come out of it.
Haha great read. At 1. I was like "hold up who tf is this guy intruding on my feed" At 2. I was like "oh." And kept reading with renewed interest 😁

@Lyn Alden, @jack mallers, & @Ross Ulbricht (so fucking powerful!) were the rare exceptions I saw in the main live feed they ran - the degen madness coming seems inevitable.

Saifedean gave a talk on this in the context of Tether. He predicts bitcoin becomes the Tether stable as the disparity in value between it and the dollar rises. The talk is on Youtube on the Bitcoin magazine channel.
Yes, it was very painful to hear politicians who have just learned that they had better get behind ‘crypto’ reading inane speeches as though they were addressing a town hall at their local retirement home. Nevertheless, kudos to the genuine ones who have put a lot of work and political capital over the years to move things in the right direction.
Although this is in general true I've got value form Lyn, Saifedean and Hayes talks! I haven't watched everything jet. But probably Adam Back is also worth watching!!!
Here's the problem. Beyond a certain scale, you need lots of money to run these things. Like many millions of dollars. And you're not getting that much from plebs or Bitcoin-only companies, so they have to bring in the people that are willing to pay, like altcoiners, bankers, governments and other scammers. And they want to see politicians and other people that they get along with. In other words, beyond a certain size, these events are funded by fiat money. True Bitcoin-only conferences rarely scale this much. View quoted note →
IT was WAY too big and way to segregated. Half of it was roped off to people with "lesser" tickets. -At one point, I was sitting on a couch in front of the Nakamoto stage. I looked back to see people standing behind me blocking the view of the other 4000+ people sitting. I got up, and never came back. -The booths on the main floor were the best place to be, chatting with all the people who are doing things. -Bitcoin magazine is now doing a fabulous job of putting most all the stage talks on video. - The place was packed with hedge fund vultures from new york, doing all their "rounds" that they intend to sell to the public at a 1000% profit in 17 months.. -I will never go back. It's just too big for me. But, it's a good thing. It's means we are winning.
Yes. I certainly agree. I'm glad you put this up. They also used the "crypto" word waY too much..
I had to actually go outside, take off my shoes, and put my bare feet on the ground, aftter 3 days in that building..

Takeaway should be don't trust politicians. Don't get distracted by noise. Work, STACK SATS, relax, and enjoy nature. Repeat. View quoted note →
They can keep their fiat money, blockchain and ideas in the most fiat place. The only thing that will be tokanized in history is their ability to burn themselves and anyone else that follows them. Stablecoins are just another way to print money. @Bitcoin Magazine you should be ashamed, but you can't be, because you're controlled opposition to co-opt the movement. Funny how it's always the media being used to control the message. Every movement or idea has these types of people that will come as wolves in sheep's clothing.
Its under attack constantly. Were in a battle of the largest system of control in the world and some people are losing the plot. Just seeing dollar signs flash before their eyes. We are in an information war!
In my experience, no matter what industry you’re in, the conference itself is fluff. The real value is in the conversations at the dinners or bars after. That being said, think they should change the name of the conference to not lead people on 😂
Watching the suits take over bitcoin because yall voted for this like 🍿

I was there for the 3rd year in a row. Personally I love seeing the energy and passion there, and also seeing so many bitcoiners in one spot. It’s fun for me

I saw all those things. But more importantly, I saw a real cypherpunk culture around the open source stage that inspired me. There’s hope despite all the noise.

Hmm I don't like any of those. Just keep doing Bitcoin only self custody and run knots!
It seems the degens of this cycle are nation states and institutions. Remember when you realised that you could long bitcoin and simultaneously short fiat. You thought crypto degens are reckless? Prepare for a leverage loop like never before and don’t hold paper bitcoin.

So, they're still a joke. Good to know. I'll keep avoiding them like the plague.
