well what can I say, congrats to you for the support on your article. Should that make me change my mind? Yeah we all do judgements based on appearences andfirst impressions, for that someone has to be aware of that and try to look beyond.
Did the one of the event sponsors said that... so.... what's the point? should that make me change my mind?
but again i'll try to explain better, that situation that you describe:
"Excuse me, can I squeeze past" - the response I received? "No, I'm standing here"...
or even worst has happened to me with that kind of people that you think won't do that, my point is retarded arseholes there are everywhere. So I don't really see your point. Next time go to USA conf not to london's. Is like I don't like the people in the bar of the corner, so next time you won't go right?
Next weekend is the latinamerican bitconf here in buenos aires where i live. I'd like to go really, but it is quite expensive. I can afford it, but honestly for that price I know the kind of people that is going to be there, and nop I'm not interested.
Which has nth to do with the Bitcoin. That has to do, with the people how they are here and i know it, because i also live here.
In all other aspects, i'm completely with you.
Yep totally agree that's nothing to do with bitcoin.
Actually I think that conferences should be an open and accesible space for everyone who wants to get involve, and let know and inform all the people. But actually the people who is doing that conf are looking for an specific kind of people wearing a suit, well shaved and business looking...
This is a pity because:
Bitcoin != Libertarianism
Bitcoin != Anarchism
Bitcoin == Bitcoin
It really is too bad that such an amazing invention as Bitcoin has to be usable for those who want to enslave fellow human beings via institutional violence too.
what the fuck are you saying, bitcoin is money. And money is used for that exactly end that you are saying for the ages of it's creation.
