 Everything about today felt weird to me. I can’t be the only one. 
 With you. Still getting my head around it. 
 I'm with ya 
 Elaborate please. Bitcoin conference to me is usually a miss of expectations but interested in specifics 
 As my 4 year old would say, "weird weird weird." 
 The Lummis announcement felt like a Faustian Bargain to me but idk 
 Yeah like the simulation is off lately 
 growing pains 
 The politicians and banksters made it corporate and slimy. The conference lost some of its  authenticity. 

Plus nostr panel got bumped because of Trump 😡 not cool at all. Nostr and BTC are the signal not politicians 
 Yes. Before this Bitcoin Magazine conference I would've bought a Vegas 2025 ticket. Not now.

Hopefully they'll be a different more genuine Bitcoin focussed conference put together by other people. 
 +1. Were things extremely politicized this year compared to others?
