Funny how the first ever bitcoin conference thats been hyped to shit doesnt even sell tickets by bitcoin amount. Instead equivalent to the amount in USD.
well, he did mention the fees were to cover the expenses of the conference, and the expenses are likely fixed in USD, therefore the need to price in USD to maintain a 1:1 costs:fee ratio.
Wait, are you trying to say that he could not actually USE bitcoins to buy anything useful for the conference and therefor has to immediately convert them to USD before he can actually DO something?
