Bitcoin 2022 saw 25,000 attendees this year – more than double last year’s numbers.
Like last year, much of the conference center was bathed in orange, crypto firms still sought to outdo each other in increasingly elaborate displays on the expo floor and the hours post-conference were still filled with ostentatious afterparties. But that style of programming was notably smaller in magnitude than last year, and it also didn’t play as well with the attendees.From this reporter’s perspective, attendees just weren’t as riled up about making money and unburdening themselves from the yoke of centralized monetary policy. Instead, they were more interested in the potential of the network.
No longer was there a question of whether bitcoin was under attack by the government, a sentiment that underpinned last year'swith Senator Cynthia Lummis at Bitcoin 2021. Regulation at this stage in the game seems to be a given, and many panelists expressed hope going forward, like MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor and ARK's Cathy Wood.
Doubling attendance seemed to introduce a more sober sensibility – or, as sober as a Bitcoin conference can get. Mass adoption, it seems, does require appealing to the masses.One panel saw athletes Serena Williams, Odel Beckham Jr. and Aaron Rodgers speak on their crypto experiences. Barstool founder Dave Portnoy was slated to appear on one panel, though he never made it to his seat on stage.
This is not a Bull it is a Steer. A Bull has balls this has none so.....it is a Steer. A Steer market? Who wasted a crap load of money on this thing I mean really!
