it overall just confirms what a bad choice that place is for a conference, which would promote Bitcoin in the public mind, as opposed to some other kind of conference.
From what I can see there are still no comments on how the above can be true yet Thailand's biggest financial institution and first official bank held an expo on
money there in 2009.
But why discuss something that would be relevant?
If you can't see the difference between traditional banks and the well established, status quo, of current monetary systems and what they would be wanting to do at a conference and this new Bitcoin stuff and what we would/should (imo) want to be doing with Bitcoin conferences then I can't help you... sorry.
