By the end of this year, I will have attended 12 or so bitcoin events for 2024. These have been great experiences but they have also shown me that at conferences, bitcoin appears as tho it is mostly for straight white men. Yet, we know that this isnβt true when we look at the global demographics of bitcoin users.
What I would love to see is a conference that invited bitcoin speakers like sex workers, activists, domestic abuse survivors, psychedelic-based healers, LGBTQ identifying bitcoiners, black bitcoiners who can educate us on the history of racist banking practices in the US and who are using bitcoin for financial empowerment, critics of bitcoin, and so on.
Even if 75% of attendees were conference speakers, the event would be a success because it would be a great opportunity for these overlooked groups to be together under the same roof.
Bitcoin is for anyone who needs it. Iβd like to hear from those who need it most.
