WTF - The Texas Bitcoin Conference III 2017

in #tbc37 years ago (edited)

4 big WTFs, from TBC3.

  1. did not accept BITCOIN for merchandise
  2. SPONSORED food trucks did not accept BITCOIN
  3. not a single bitcoin booth at the event
    (No place to buy, sell and
    learn about just Bitcoin )
  4. turns out this was hosted by the founder of Factom!

The real true Bitcoin Conference was the Decentralized Art Show hosted by Lauren and Logan!

So Factom sucked you in to the event. I guess you know now that they are based in Austin. Live and learn

boring factom

That would fucking piss me off

I almost got kicked out no joke

Now that would have made a good video and Steemit post!

LOL they tried anyway right??

Happy Birthday @kennethbosak glad to have you back brother

hahaha "Cash Only"! One day seeing a "Cash Only" signs will be like seeing this:

Bcash only

Calling it a "bitcoin" conference without accepting Bitcoin for payment for merch nor food felt disrespectful.

Haa...and Bitcoin is mooning now... @kennethbosak

No t-shirts for me then

Someone got me one as a gift for my bday I'm blessed

Had not heard about this at all, good on you for sharing the info man.

@kenneth Bosak, should've been called:
'The Irony Conference', maybe it was really planned by some fat cat bank CEOs!

Tried bro says voting weight to small or something lol

Excellent, I invite you to review my profile so you can see my content and if I LIKE TO VOTE. REGARDS

Happy birthdy ######## Good post

30 Days ago Bitcoin was at $4300. Today it is at $6500.
Just puttin' that out there.

unbelieveable,they dont have a machine to accept bitcoin.

The dash booth had their own BTM for demo so if it wasn't for dash but still it was a demo tho

well i got the point.thanks

This is so disappointing...

genial

Sheshhh!

So that is truly rubbish. How much of a disappointment? A bit like opening a beautifully wrapped christmas present, to find it's just an empty box! Lame!

It seems there is no process to accept bitcoin for merchandise now, but anyway things will change in near future. Thanks for the nice update @ kennethbosak

We both paid for our entire trip with Bitcoin and crypto! The flight, place to stay, food, transportation, artwork, venue for the after party - EVERYTHING #TheFutureIsNow :)

Happy Birthday dear@kennethbosak from Bangladesh

Happy birthday

Well i know why they only accept cash, you cant pay bills with bitcoin.

If you host an event you can figure it out

It's not always easy to do, but we paid for our entire trip to the conference with Bitcoin and other cryptos. #TheFutureIsNow :)

Looks like in the US you still can buy more things for dollars, not bitcoins... btw, if IRS catch them, they would need to pay taxes on everything, but there is no law yet, how to pay taxes with BTC transactions.

Looking at the price chart of bitcoin I'd except 😃

Thanks for the love Kenn, we do our best! There were actually a few vendors there who accepted Bitcoin for merchandise - like Joseph with cryptohwwallet.com and Troy with cryptoart.com. But yes SO crazy that the actual organizers did not lol....

Wow. I went to parties before and after the conference where we accepted all sorts of crypto payments, as did the other vendors and artists. Seems unthinkable to see cash only signs at a bitcoin conference. Upvoted and followed.
