It’s not a big commercial conference, it’s non profit and we’ll be lucky if we break even 😅 It’s focused on the locals to get to know and use Bitcoin and Nostr and for our foreign guests to get to know Suriname. So it’s 3 days of mixed events all over the country, including an Amazon rainforest adventure, a food festival, an edm/music festival where we expect at least 1500 attendees at Utopia event center. They’ll be using Boltcards to purchase at all 21 vendors. A ‘conference’ part at Royal Torarica where speakers speak about the basics and topics that are relevant for the locals to learn more about Nostr and Bitcoin. Where we expect 450 registered attendees. The event is free for locals and the tickets foreign visitors buy covers expenses for their trip to the rainforest and some extra side events especially for them. Today we had a BBQ at the education center and the vibe is chill, hopeful, there’s a lot of fun and laughter and it’s just amazing to see everyone together. Though we didn’t get any support from the Nostr community, I hope with what you see over the next few days, you’ll understand the impact of what we’re doing here and will. Love you guys 🫶🏽
