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.
That is a very bad sign, if the organizer of the supposed global BitCon won't deal in BitCoins. We've had people make it all the way across the country only on BitCoins and they made it just fine! Organizing a conference around it should at the very least speak to the strength of BitCoin, not the supposed obstacles the promoter is having to endure.
I won't accept any other explanation than Bruce is just a speculator and hypes the BitCoin masses while not having the passion to back it up when words meet action.
Wow. Where is all of this anger coming from? The guy is putting on a conference, and has done a ton to help bitcoin. He puts in more 'actions' every day then you have put in so far. His show is a service to the bitcoin community.
A seller has the right to price items or services ANY WAY THEY WANT. With the price of bitcoin changing so much it is not unreasonable to price things in USD converted to bitcoin as payment.
