Lately, I’ve been noticing that a lot of the big voices at crypto conferences seem to come from the right-wing side of the political spectrum, and many of them focus heavily on “get rich quick” messaging—pushing meme coins, hype tokens, and other centralized projects that feel pretty far removed from the original purpose of Bitcoin and the broader idea of decentralization.
For example, people like Eric Trump have a noticeable following at these events, and the conversation often seems to revolve around speculation rather than the foundational principles of decentralizing finance, increasing economic fairness, or building open systems.
I’m curious if others are seeing the same trend.
Is the conference space right now mostly dominated by right-leaning promoters and hype-driven projects? Or am I just noticing a loud subset of the industry?
Would love to hear what others think.
