A gathering of bitcoin enthusiasts or bitcoiners will definitely add one or more knowledge to an attendee. But right now in my country I don’t see my self attend such physical events for bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies because it exposes one to the government. The risk seems maybe too much for a knowledge I could also get from my home anonymously. More so also everything that can be teach physical can also be done through online classes

There is no much benefit in going to such events. The one I attended was a total waste of time and the only benefit I derived from it was meeting two new friends who are currently in my team.
When you attend such events you will understand that many of the guests are even more experienced in cryptocurrency than the resource persons.
People that knows the real deal doesn't seek attention and hardly organise events.
It is mostly the shit coin creators and crypto ponzi schemers that organise such meetings to promote their projects to the innocent audience while using bitcoin to envelope and sell heir ideas.

Do you mean some kind of official event held to discuss Bitcoin, some kind of seminar or training like that?.
I've never come across such an official event at my place, or maybe I'm not up to date for events like that. It is possible that even if there were, I might not have time to attend such an event because of my busy schedule.
Usually I will only get together with my friends who are crypto fans and we are not there to discuss crypto or Bitcoin seriously in particular, we just get together, joke and tell stories and discuss a little about crypto or Bitcoin occasionally.

I also think like you, if there is an official event like that maybe there really is a specific intention that in the end they promote their project and invite participants to join them.

I think we have a thread for that already,  although it won't be wise waking a thread that has long been abandoned you can go through it to learn what people think about attending bitcoin conferences Is going to a the bitcoin conference worth it?
I haven't been to any bitcoin conference but I feel that since most people that are involved in Bitcoin are thoughtful when it comes to privacy and attending conferences might put them in danger especially when the program theme is about wealth, most people might end up being a target.
But some still like to go hoping that they'll be able to gain more network/connection with those that are high up in the bitcoin ecosystem, I might consider going depending on who's going to be present there at the conference because you never can tell what you'll gain by being present there.

If you're solely a Bitcoin user, attending Bitcoin events can be a great opportunity to connect with like-minded tech enthusiasts and gain new knowledge. However, if you're involved in the Bitcoin business, attending such events can significantly expand your network and lead to potential investment opportunities.

It's important to note that while attending these events can be financially beneficial for those in the industry, it may not provide the same level of financial gain for general crypto users who may not have the means to attend. Nonetheless, attending these events can still provide valuable educational and networking opportunities for all attendees.

[Raflesia]

Regardless of whatever it is, at least there must be something we can take as a lesson when gathering with fellow bitcoin enthusiasts. Even though it may not be material in nature, of course there are new experiences and learnings that are definitely beneficial and it is precisely compared to material things that are likely to be what we are looking for.

I actually want to look for something like this in my area, especially for big events, it's just that when looking at the current conditions and regulations that are still not possible, something like this still can't happen for me personally.

When I first picked interest in bitcoin, I used to watch a lot of YouTube videos and attend crypto events just to better understand how to position myself in this bitcoin space. I have not attended a paid event, the first crypto event I attended was sponsored by FTX, that should tell you that there are pros and cons to attending these events. The pros is that you get to connect with people with the same interest as you, grow and build a community, and possibly make a name for yourself as a bitcoin expert. The cons is the sponsors of the event could spend the whole time talking about their company or promoting a coin and not actually focus on the supposed theme of the event.

Bitcoin or cryptocurrency events is only for marketing purpose, the main reason behind those events will be to promote any bitcoin or cryptocurrency related service or website.
If your only purpose is to learn more about bitcoin I think these events will not help you anyway.
I don't attend any bitcoin events but I have watched some of these events on the internet. If you want to learn more about bitcoin or cryptocurrency you can find many information on the internet and also in this forum.

[GiftedMAN]

The answer to the question of the op is a yes and also a no at the same time, attending bitcoin events or classes may help to add to the cryptocurrency knowledge of an individual in the sense that during the course of the event, more information will be shared by more experienced individuals and the beginners will benefit from the information shared because they will be sharing both the theory and the practical aspects of it to encourage starters to benefit and put what they have learnt in to practice.

On the No part of it, attending bitcoin events can be dangerous to individuals who are enthusiasts because the event can expose them to dangers from people who may be looking for an opportunity to rob them of their bitcoins or mark their faces for future attacks which can lead to lost of funds so I won't support a physical bitcoin event because just as the seed phrase of a particular user is private everything about the user ought to be private including the names and location of the user.

If doesn't benefit us that much since those seminars could be held online where you can attain knowledge unknown that doesn't expose your identity which is I prefer due to it can be dangerous at the same time. Maybe at some events for sure there's a lot of freebies and coupon that you can get which make it more fun. I haven't tried to go in bitcoin events, however I've seen some online where they post a lot of pictures of the event. It's more likely a marketing strategy to acknowledge bitcoin especially if its done in public places. A lot of influencers and artists to gain more public attention. If you're aiming to have connections with other people might be better to do it online.

It's very important to know about cryptocurrency, especially now that we are advancing into a digital world, sooner everything will be done online without stress. Informed of marketing, they do giveaway and shows how crypto works and what's needed to make profits in the market. Cryptocurrency events will not lecture you on the crucial information about the space, rather it will enlightened one to know how the market operates, the basics information about the market. But for complex understanding, a lengthy understandable PDFs are needed inother to impact useful information into one's brain.

Just like an expo, You can find your fellow enthusiast, find new connections, learn something new or just enjoy the even you attended. Sometimes it's refreshing to talk in person on things you like or things you are knowledgeable of like in our case it's bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I've attended one or two bitcoin and crypto event in my life and for me it is enjoyable given that I've learned something new in the space and the potential trends. There are also new connections that have been born with public persons, You just need to approach them right    You're not forced to submit your identity in events like this if you don't want to.

My local area only had crypto event like this once and I didn't let it slipped, I'm shocked that there are more people than I'm expecting and I wasn't expecting some familiar faces.

In case you are not familiar with, we have board that totally dedicated to Bitcoin/Blockchain events: Meetups.

Ok, probably we can go back in time, first bitcoin conference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRjEd8NS4Wc

Maybe some of the attendees that time bough Bitcoin and could still be holding but this time, or maybe they lost everything to Mt. Gox.

But the point is that there could be a lot of benefits by joining this conferences and meetups and you could learn a thing or two or meet someone that could be big in the Bitcoin ecosystem. You'll not never know, who you gonna bump.

Some people find it incredibly helpful to attend Bitcoin or cryptocurrency events because they find it simple to learn concepts through hands-on instruction. Similarly, you might observe people asking various technical questions during Bitcoin physical lectures that you might not even consider. therefore taking bitcoin lessons would make it simple for someone to learn everything at once. In particular, beginners may find those Bitcoin classes more motivating than learning alone online. Let just  know that acquiring knowledge for both sides are really helpful.

Yes, you'll learn some additional information and at the same time, you'll meet new people in the same verse that you're interested in.

Pre-pandemic, I've attended a few of them and it was fun. Well, the foods served at those events were tasty and delicious, and that's what I like about attending those meet-ups. Kidding aside, it helped me to increase my network because of the people that have got connections from various industries but share the same interest we've got in investing in bitcoin and also being optimistic about blockchain technology.

it depends on your goals being here in this crypto market. if you are just a regular crypto user who doesn't need network, there's no need for you to attend such conferences. but if you are a business person with plans of setting up a crypto-related business or joining one, definitely, connections are important. because for one, you need money to push thru your project. and besides, all the other capable staffs, you can find in this type of gathering.

[Ronsbit]

Going out for bitcoin events and meetups are good one because it has a lot of benefits attached. As a  bitcoin and blockchain enthusiasts eager to learn, you will meet up with people far much higher than you in the industry and that will avail you the opportunity to learn more added to your knowledge and also get connected to the high and mighty in the industry.  If you are actually looking for investors for your project, this will create room for you to showcase your project and what it is all about thereby attracting more investors to you depending on the nature of your project. Nevertheless, building a good network of block chain allies start from here, if you want to get them, then go for meetups and events.

[Sarah Azhari]

are you gone to any bitcoin events ?

No, I don't, what for?.

Because I know very much, then I don't need to go to a bitcoin event.

That event is just for the labile person who still doubts bitcoin,
So if you know much and have confidence, it's washing your time, especially if you go with your friend, yes if you go with your friend who doesn't know what bitcoin is, you will get the benefit, especially if your friend wants to create account exchange to begin to buy bitcoin, you can get benefit by giving your referral link register.

[Darker45]

I won't assume that you won't learn anything from Bitcoin-related events, but I doubt that at this point there are still events whose objective is mainly on Bitcoin awareness. I haven't attended a single Bitcoin or crypto or blockchain event because I know there are centralized products or platforms that will be promoted.

I once checked in at a hotel where there is a crypto event. It was centered on investment and trading. Just recently, there was also a gathering of sorts in what is called the Bitcoin island here. But it was basically sponsored by a certain wallet, and it was probably for the promotion of it.

But if there is an event that is solely focused on Bitcoin education, I might be interested.
