 It's not often in life you'll see a humble genius like nostr:nprofile1qqsvrlrhw86l5sv06wkyjgs6rrcekskvk7nx8k50qn9m7mqgeqxjpvgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp09u4x38 investing his time and effort, and sacrificing time away from his family just sitting waiting for anyone to stroll up and be enlightened. This man is a treasure to bitcoin and should have his own conference. He's a builder factory, facilitating future innovators. There has to be a way we can flip the script from pumping shitcoins, paid services and shallow talking heads to actually educating and enabling new users and use cases thereby seeding innovation and broadening our base. Ben has been rather quietly but substantially helping bitcoin and lightning via his many lightning enablement projects, including the amazing/powerful LNbits, and had a hand in the creation of nostr as well.  I would love to support, volunteer and attend a conference where current builders, including the many who've been motivated, spawned and supported by Ben could meet, collaborate, share and pay forward his investment to future generations.
