The Bitcoin 2022 conference attracted some 25,000 attendees — some of whom were willing to tell FOX Business why they traveled to Miami Beach to talk cryptocurrency with like-minded others.

The conference attracted all walks of life. Though mostly young men, there were many middle-aged and older attendees and significantly more women participants this year compared to last year's conference. Many work in the fintech industry while others work for more traditional finance companies, nonprofits or even themselves.

One attendee said bitcoin is about "democratizing money as we know it" and "removing power from central banks," especially in countries with authoritarian leaders and skyrocketing inflation.With no set dress code, attendees wore a mix of business and casual attire, as well as costumes — some of which included masks.

They're attending because they want to make a 💩 load of $$ (the real kind) by influencing others to jump in the market. 😂😂 You guys kill me. And Twitter, I mean they make me laugh. I'm not advocating here, ok?

Because a conference is tangible. Just like working remote is great but only if your company has a great presence .
