Bitcoin is new. Bitcoin is ground-breaking. Bitcoin is global.
We can make our own new rules. ....and we have a whole planet to cater to.

You can make your own rules in your own events under your own brand.
You can call it OnlyOneTv Conference if you like or TheBitcoinShow Expo.
But please don't brand it as a Bitcoin official event.

Bitcoin is a currency and what it wants is business, not holidays.

Bitcoin in order to become more successful needs to get the business community interested and average ordinary people.

Ordinary people need to be welcomed and embraced and shown how Bitcoin can help them in their daily lives in these
uncertain economic times. We shouldn't turn them off... piss them off... offend them... etc. etc.

What we don't need is a clique of elites globe-hopping from one party to another portraying themselves as the
official Bitcoin spokesmen...

Gawd, do we ever need some sensible and professional PR types to step up...

Agreed. Check out my other thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39030.0

...and when you go there, please ignore my first couple comments, for I effed up. The thread has the making of becoming a several pager. PR is where it's at.
