Title: DLD conference - no Bitcoin Post by: phelix on January 22, 2012, 10:45:21 AM Check out the digital - life - design conference running right now:
http://www.dld-conference.com/program/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Life_Design They do not seem to speak about bitcoin at all. It still seems to be very far away for some mainstream people. I politely asked about Bitcoin on their facebook site and got deleted pretty quickly: http://www.facebook.com/DLDconference?sk=wall Title: Re: DLD conference - no Bitcoin Post by: Gabi on January 22, 2012, 01:47:43 PM That sucks
It sucks even more that your question was deleted :o Title: Re: DLD conference - no Bitcoin Post by: herzmeister on January 22, 2012, 01:52:31 PM that's because this bit-coin thing is a ponzi scheme and a scam, didn't you know !!!!1!!11!1 >:(

This looks like a corporatist/government sponsored event, so I imagine that only technologies which can be monitored or controlled by the government will be allowed onto the agenda.

Title: Re: DLD conference - no Bitcoin Post by: fornit on January 22, 2012, 03:57:11 PM This looks like a corporatist/government sponsored event, it is. besides that the sponsoring is from a publisher having ties to the INSM, a powerful lobby organization known for trying to influence journalism and public opinion by eh... unconventional means. like bribery, covered advertising and planting texts prewritten by companies as journalism. Title: Re: DLD conference - no Bitcoin Post by: herzmeister on January 22, 2012, 03:58:24 PM how are these means unconventional ???
