Your perspective, as someone who attended both the Japanese and Korean Bitcoin conferences, is extremely valuable. Thank you for sharing it.
I’m Japanese, but for various reasons I decided to showcase my goods only at the Seoul conference. And I’m confident that this was the right decision.
I have many thoughts about the Seoul conference, and a lot to contrast with the Tokyo Bitcoin conference and Nostrasia last weekend.
They were all enjoyable conferences but the difference in grass roots communities are apparent. The Seoul scene is full of energy and ready to build on Bitcoin. In Japan I see a similar energy in Nostr, and Bitcoin is more of an afterthought- kind of fascinating. We need more Devs both in Bitcoin and Nostr and I'm grateful for both groups!
Specter and Calvin did an amazing job with the mini conference (of 400 people)! As did all the support staff. Well done.
