 Fair warning:

Prior to 2020 I paid for my own travel expenses to speak at conferences.

This past cycle, all I required was reimbursement for a quality flight and hotel.

I expect it will take even more to make it worth my while after this cycle. 
 Good on you for knowing your worth 🔥🚀 
 What if it’s in Tokyo 😁 
 I've actually done Tokyo before, so sure.

Last time I went I spent more time in the air back and forth than I spent on the ground in Japan! 
 Gotta rectify that, way too much to do here! Especially in September 😉   @teruko  @koji 
 Sir if you are interested in revisiting Japan, September would be a perfect time not only for exploring the beautiful country but also for reconnecting with or meeting bitcoiners. 
 That's a goal of mine too, to have flights and hotels covered. It's a happened a couple times. For some, I've raised funds too.  I'd love for all of them in the future to be covered. Maybe when I get to Lopp level 🥹 
 Would a fridge magnet sway you at all? 
 I'll take it if he doesn't. ☺️ 
 Collection only, but it's yours. 
 Mike, we must know one another IRL. 🤣 I’ve most definitely attended conferences for the paid travel, free food & magnets. 🤣🙏🙌🫂😆 
 Hold on a minute, nobody mentioned anything about free food, are you trying to bankrupt me 😂

The deals off! 
 Damn. I was *this* close to trying to slip one by. Lesson learned, not on a Monday. 🙌🤣

Fair. Completely fair. 
 😂 
 What if I bought YOU a magnet? 🤣🤣🤣 
 Oooh, let’s talk! 
 Okay. I’ll hustle to make all the money to prove feminism worked. 🤣 
 Too late, the wife’s already done that down the fiat mines.

Now, back to the magnet, have you got any with boats on them? 
 I don’t. Maybe I do. I don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll have to look. 🤣 
 same. who wants to fly me? lol
