Jimmy Song Criticizes Bitcoin 2024 Speakers, Citing Stray From BTC Ethos

Bitcoin Core developer Jimmy Song has criticized the speaker lineup for the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee. According to Cointelegraph, Song argues that the conference's focus on topics such as the U.S. ETF launch, bank disintermediation, and institutional investment moves away from the core values of Bitcoin. "Bitcoin is about rugged individualism and pioneering spirit," Song said. "The panels so far are moving away from these values to cater to legacy financial institutions like Blackrock." Song emphasized that Bitcoin's strength lies in its freedom and self-sovereignty, and that the conference should prioritize these principles.
