I agree. To pay money for watching ads is dumb. All the cool people are online.
While I agree that paying for watching ads is dumb, I can see advantages on the flip side as there is bright plebs all around at a conference and after-parties, fun, behind the scenes talks etc.
"behind the scenes" are not conferences. You can have same fun at btc meetups and for less money. BTW you will never see at a btc conf saying / teaching how to fuck the gov.
Dev/hack/day in Prague was the only organized event I attended, anonymously, and some rooms were interesting. There was a panel about privacy/fucking the feds, with Juraj Bednar, Max Hillebrand, Sjors Provoost, and Calle wearing a face mask.
In 2015 I was organizing some btc meetups in my local community. Once I announce a meetup as "how to fuck the govs and banks". Very few people come up. Another day I announce it as "how to invest with bitcoin". Ofc was a trap title just to see how many scammers will come. And ofc were many idiots attending.
People are retarded.
100%
What a good bait. I’m taking note.
The very few people matter.
OP also wrote: "(...) met sooooo many cool people with whom I have so much in common." and "(...) the money I give her but she doesn't even get self custody". What would you advise about those?
BTW I met you at a conference.

She's 100% right in that sense. BTC conferences are a waste of money. Instead go to bitcoin meetups and take her with you.
