lots of good arguments why the US should have a @EFDevcon, but getting US visas for all participants is a real issue as well

i think perhaps instead we should consider reforming something like EthDenver into something which moves around the USA and features much more prominent focus on content for investor and policy audiences

we need to ask ourselves if the hackathon vibe, sponsored by every VC-funded chain, fits where Ethereum is at this point and what's needed to grow the network from here. idk the answer, i just hear a lot of criticism from folks on EthDenver and how it is not very Ethereum-focused at this point and is a very commercialized "crypto conference"

another option is to create a new Ethereum and ETH-focused conference run by @Etherealize_io or similar
