Do we know these are Bitcoiners? Trump drew lots of normal MAGA folks to the Libertarian National Convention.

I know Bitcoin Magazine, the sponsor of the conference has gone MAGA. But I see bitcoiners going political all over the place.

That's true, but it also doesn't mean they stopped being cheapskates.

I'm missing your point, I think. How do cheapskates and an $844,600 ticket go together?

I'm wondering how many of those attendees will actually be bitcoiners vs run of the mill Trump supporters who show up just for Trump.
I'm suggesting actual bitcoiners are likely unwilling to part with almost a whole coin for this. (@orthwyrm indicates that it's about $60k per person #613762.)

Ah, actual bitcoiners. How do you define this? To me actual bitcoiners will have nothing to do with this. In that case, are we not saying the same thing?

I'm a big tent guy, so we might not be defining it the same way. My guess is that these will mostly be rich MAGA donor types who at most hold some bitcoin on an exchange.
