Seeing crypto projects continue to host events in Dubai is a strange phenomenon. Either it’s due to ignorance or outright malice, but it makes a clear statement that there are some groups of people they don’t want involved in the project given if said people were to show up, they’d be executed/imprisoned.

The projects are inclusive of people / groups that are not inclusive. To not go there would be excluding them / people in that part of the world in some way.

The people =\= the lawmakers

They can bury me deep, but I always grow back.

Agreed with Brenner’s take here. 

Dubai is also a place that is easily accessible for people in that region that otherwise would not get exposure in their markets.
