☕ BTC is grinding around $81K, while a Bitcoin conference is kicking off in Lugano, Switzerland today

Today and tomorrow (October 23–24), the fifth Plan ₿ Forum is taking place in Lugano, Switzerland, at the Palazzo dei Congressi and Villa Ciani.

The speakers are no small names:
🔹 Paolo Ardoino of Tether
🔹 Adam Back of Blockstream
🔹 Elizabeth Stark of Lightning Labs

Topics range from peer-to-peer payments and cypherpunk history to Bitcoin adoption and AI. There’s also a Bitcoin market at the venue, and quite a few attendees say they’re hoping to check out local businesses that accept Bitcoin while they’re there.

Now for some perspective: according to a roundup on X, BTC briefly fell below $81K on October 22—about 25% lower than a year ago, and still far from last October’s high of around $126K.

My take:
When prices are cold, the people still showing up in person to talk about payments and the Lightning Network are mostly the ones actually doing the work. But the conference itself isn’t a bullish catalyst, so don’t treat “big names speaking” as a signal that prices are about to pump.

One more reminder: over the past couple of days, promotional posts on X about the same project “going to Lugano” have been copied almost word for word by a bunch of accounts, and many have only a handful of views. Take posts trying to ride the conference hype with a grain of salt—and don’t let them talk you into buying small-cap coins.

Who would you most like to hear speak, and on what topic? Or do you think conferences like this have nothing to do with coin prices?
