"Bitcoin threw a party"... The writer puts a weird and suggestive spin on her headline by making it sound like the collective bitcoin sphere or some top regulatory body were arranging the conference. It was BTC Inc., one of many commercial actors with a focus on bitcoin, but she makes not a single mention of this. This kind of suggestive framing is problematic whether you love, hate, ignore or know nothing at all about bitcoin.

The author describes several parties in the context of the Bitcoin 2022 conference (their self-description: "Bitcoin 2022 will change the world. [...] In 2022, we'll bring together over 35,000 Bitcoiners from around the world, as we work to accelerate hyperbitcoinization.") While there is some poetic licence in the headline (metonymy yada yada), I don't think that per se is "weird and suggestive".
