Bitcoin Conference 2026: 500 speakers, 490 you've never heard of

[nutildah]

Why don't you just visit https://2026.b.tc/agenda and see which agenda interest you based on the title and list of speakers/moderators?

You're right, this was a good call, and I ended up picking out about 5 things that sounded at least somewhat interesting.

Jeff Booth will have something interesting to say.

OK I will give him a chance, thanks.

I think they are trying to appeal to everyone.

You're right, as I go through the talks one by one it is a fairly diverse list of speakers. I'm just uninterested in any part of it that has to do with Wall Street, the government, or influencers. Some of the AI & quantum stuff sounds interesting, for sure.

Its simply stunning how you've been on this forum for over a decade yet you've apparently learned nothing about anything.

I was going through the list of speakers at this year's Bitcoin Conference, which is in a few days, and I just thought to myself, wow, who are all these people. Even weirder, who actually wants to hear what they have to say.

I guess if you are in some kind of business related to Bitcoin and this or that guy or girl was successful at it, you want tips on how to also be successful. Well, I don't care about any of that.

So my question to you is, out of all the names on this list, who do you think I should see give their talk? This is a right-or-wrong question. Please don't say Saylor or Jack Dorsey because that's wrong.

I read in the social media that Trump was going to speak. On seeing this thread, I quickly checked the list and didn't see Trump on the top 3 list, I stopped scrolling. If Trump was to speak, he should atleast be in the top 3 list if not the number 1.

I stumbled on one thread today where Gavin was invited more than a decade ago to speak about bitcoin in the white house, fast forward to today. Hundreds and thousands wants to speak for bitcoin.
Congratulations Bitcoin.

So anyone from here in Vegas at the moment.
I know of at least one person but the fact that he was going to be there was in a PM so it's not my place to say.

Wanted to go this year but yet again life got in the way.

For those of you there, how busy is it in the conference area and hotel?

Does it feel like it's well-attended? What about Las Vegas and The Strip in general?

I know there's been a lot of talk about how, supposedly, dead it's been over the past few years.

Its very busy in the exhibit and gathering areas... Hundreds of attendants and regular access doesn't even start until tomorrow. The stages are all over the place and hard to find. Some talks are quite crowded and some are not. Did everything I wanted to do so far. I even met and chat with Peter Todd for about 5 minutes. Gonna be hard to top that! Glad I decided to come out.

I find pretty normal that mostly of these users are unknown. I have been in many of these conferences and it's always a pleasure to find new experts from a specific country (every country use bitcoin in a different way, and even the same citizen of a Nation).
In those conferences anyone could apply for their speach... at this point, who are the speakers of this technology? only OG, early adopters <2014 users? Only tech experts or famous influencers?
Rich people that could afford to invest into this tech with nowadays price? Rich bankers? Scammers? (just to mention the whole plethora of speakers and people following this meeting).  And here we go... bitcoin as decentralized coin (and culture ) must be seen as something that everyone must use / speak about.

EDIT OT = I should have 2 tickets for Vegas for free... just ask / send an MP ...
