Lets just do city takeovers with hella small events instead of these overrated massive conferences. Vitalik is the only mfer that fills an auditorium these days.

everyone is getting mugged is not something to bond over. It is easy to pool resources and book a l hotel or a conference center and build activations around touching grass and outdoor recreation. I am in Asheville and you can book The Grove park inn for a week and do all sorts of amazing stuff while working together to change the world.
