I think people are tired of conferences, somewhat. While it’s great to engage irl, panels often regurgitate the same thing. (A complaint I hear often, however, there is DAILY change around here, so not sure how accurate this is, I’m guessing it refers to Bitcoin conferences rather than #Nostr ones)
I think 🤔 the experience angle is much better! It would give people a chance to get to know each other better
And yes, I teach #yoga, I’m part of @NostrPHX and we’re ramping up for #CultureShock25
Last year, we had panels, a live show by @Sara Jade on @tunestr and food by @heidi and @cyndra priced in sats. We had a few vendors too.
I fail to see the difference between this and normal market, just paid in Bitcoin🤔
@Babeswhobitcoin just did a market in Charlotte with merchants paying in BTC, many for the 1st time
Alright, so just a happening or any type, but purposely paid in btc? Is that the main thought? Festival as nostr:nprofile1qqstsw3gkljwt5stm9svt7htvcjlj4ffze4chkcyt4pxxj30xkgeg5qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegkfx43z wrote for example. That? I was confused. It's true there's not much like that yet. That would require a lot of marketing research in an area. My czech Bitcoiners are often vastly different from Nostriches.
Totally get where you’re coming from! Mixing BTC with events could be super cool! 💸🎉 More people need to see how fun and interesting it can be. Let’s make it happen! 😊
I think we just have to try and create whatever little circular economies we can 🤷♀️
I'm not sure going btc only is the way to reach wide enough audience though. I won't drive in people who don't have it yet. And those who are orange pilled don't need further pilling.🤔
I’ve tried being the only BTC person in a market. Ended up taking zero BTC payments, but did show one Gen a guy @wavlake and that was cool.
I think it’s good to show merchants that BTC is an option though. Like helloooooo there *is* an alternative to all the venmo and PayPal and Zelle bullshit.
But people love that bullshit and don’t realize why it’s bullshit.
So I think we have to offer incentives if we take payments in BTC. Like a % discount.
It's still not about a special thing happening, that's the general pro btc approach. I teach paid in btc too, ask in cafés, mention it on concerts and such. My local 21 group has monthly parties, pizza day and so on, where merchants are paid in btc. For the rest there are things like BTC Prague, I thought that's where the general thought goes.
I like asking if people can take BTC. I’ve asked my doctor, Starbucks, whatever. Just to see how people react
Yup. Especially if I have my little kids around. Being just some momma asking adds some special not-nerd flavor.
Yeah it does. That pretty savvy of you ⭐️
