The extended crypto winter has prompted crypto event organizers to tone down the extravagance, allowing attendees to focus on asking more “smart questions” about regulation and taxation.
The Crypto Conference attracts a wide variety of people from the crypto space, from founders and senior executives to crypto influencers and everyday users. Tiffany Fong, a crypto vlogger who rose to fame interviewing former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried after the exchange col lapsed, attended a crypto conference for the first time this year.
Fong, who attended Bitcoin Miami 2023 and NFT New York 2023, told Cointelegraph in an interview that she “can't talk about how the conference has performed in bull markets in the past,” but other attendees told us that entertainment was easier this year "People mentioned the big DJs who played at past conferences during the bull market and pointed out that this year's parties and events were much more subdued." Fong isn't too "troubled about being more dovish this year," as she sees enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies as still strong and an opportunity to meet others in the industry. Deaton, who has been an active social media commentator amid the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, said XRP fans asked “thoughtful, smart questions” at the meeting. Still, he could sense the frustration in their questions.
"I would't classify their sentiment as Fear, but rars', BeCAUSE ACHIEVING Regulating Clarity in the us Shouldn't be this discicult or take this. Long. "Deaton Said Sechairman Gary Gensler's" Law ENFORCEMENT Regulation "APPROACH to Cryptocurrencies Has Been frustrating following the SEC's recent actions against several crypto companies.
Binance Australia and New Zealand general manager Ben Rose said that at Binance Australia's recent meetup event on May 3, regulation was the most popular topic of discussion among attendees "by far."
Ross told Cointelegraph that crypto taxes were another topic of high interest among attendees. He added that despite the bear market, there is still “interest from the crypto curious.” “There’s been a lot of newcomers coming in lately, asking beginner-level questions , which is encouraging." Ross emphasized that Australians are starting to get excited about a “potential bull market the price of Bitcoin has risen.”
