How I would like to see a Bitcoin Conference We've seen lately a plethora of so called "bitcoin conferences". But most of them are just shitshows and noise, talking all over what was already talked in all those plethora of podcasts and shows, repeating over and over same things, but never provide some damn SOLUTIONS.

We are already in that phase when who doesn't get it (what is Bitcoin)... HFSP. But we have a large portion of people, businesses, small merchants, entrepreneurs, freelancers that would want to see HOW THE HELL COULD USE BITCOIN IN REAL LIFE for their use case.

Yes, we have wonderful movements like https://twentyone.world/ with meetups and local workshops. These are very good. But is not enough.

So I propose for ALL those organizers for Bitcoin conferences to take these aspects in consideration for the future conferences:

0 - General recommendations: NO shitcoins and other crap, Bitcoin ONLY. invite mainly nocoiners / precoiners/newbies, merchants, businesses that want to know more about Bitcoin and how to start accepting it. All these workshops MUST be addressed to those in need of Bitcoin solutions. Bitcoiners already know all these stuff, so don't do echo chamber. If you organize it in a place where English is not the 1st language, consider having it in the local language (especially in El Salvador). 1 - Make the MAIN STAGE the one that present only Bitcoin solutions. Let ALL BTC wallet app devs/representatives to present their app and make some live demos. Each one should have a booth with more presentation material, flyers and even more live demos etc Invite more solutions providers to make workshops, demos, presentations of how they use their Bitcoin solution implemented into real use cases (BTCPay, LNbits, node bundles, payment processors, hardware/tools/ATMs providers, builders etc). All kind of solutions for real use cases using Bitcoin. Give these enough time to do their demos and also give them a Q&A session with the audience. Feedback from audience is very important! Let people ask questions. (don't do useless debates with dancing clowns). 2 - Make a secondary stage for all the rest: Add a new section: real life stories of Bitcoin adoption. Invite people with wonderful stories of their onboarding or how Bitcoin changed their life. Give a positive example! A session of debating, talking shit or announcements. Whatever is not included in the above. More games and contests, so newbies could earn some sats and learning something new. Like a trivia game about Bitcoin / LN, or a quiz with prizes. Make them do a proof of work for those earning sats. 3 - Last day - ONLY relationship Let all participants to contact all presenters and discuss with them more details Organize cubicles where solution providers could do smaller talks with small group of people interested in those solutions, more Q&A sessions, workshops. 4 - Make included in the ticket also a system of payments with LN conference participant could get a specific amount of sats to be spend inside the event (kiosks, drinks, food, services, rentals etc). here is a simple solution using LNbits SaaS. Remember could be even used with internal funds sats and participants will use a wallet app connected to that lndhub account or a NFC card. Is all described in the guide. Make the newbies to see the real use of BTC/LN, directly inside the venue. I hope this post will inspire you more to organize awesome Bitcoin workshops! MAY THE BITCOIN BE WITH YOU!
