There’s something profound about this simple tweet.

This is my 4th year attending the Bitcoin Conference - my senior year you could say. STORY TIME: In 2021 (my freshman year) I entered crypto as an entrepreneur loving the NFT culture & community. And because I was so enthusiastic to learn more about Bitcoin & crypto space, I bought my ticket to the Bitcoin Conference!! I talked to so many Bitcoin builders & believers in the community at the conference but to be honest I didn’t have the best experience. At that time the community seemed closed minded and mean. I remember a fellow attendee I was having a conversation with literally turned on a dime and walked away from me mid-conversation when I said I was building on Ethereum. I heard him mutter something under his breath as he walked away. I’m not sure exactly what he said but considering I heard many people (even speakers) yelling ‘sh*tcoiner’ towards some booths I can imagine what the Bitcoin community was thinking of me. Luckily I’d never let anything like that stop me. For the next few years I continued to work in the Bitcoin/crypto industry for different prominent companies. I grew during that time of course but I think the Bitcoin industry grew too. This year I’m happy to report 2026 Bitcoin Vegas has been my best Bitcoin conference experience yet. Everyone was kind and professional. I love how much more open-minded Bitcoin community has become. And with TradFi and crypto intersecting more than ever, I guess in a way we’re all graduating this year. Today, I am proud to say I love being in the Bitcoin community! HIGHER!!

You can’t explain Bitcoin to someone who doesn’t understand money in the first place. No awareness of the problem = zero appreciation for the solution. That’s why most people dismiss bitcoin.
