Title: FutureOfMoney - Virtual Currencies Panel - Kenna and Shrem
Post by: evoorhees on April 23, 2012, 09:03:15 PM
Happening right now at the Future of Money conference. Virtual Currencies discussion panel. Guy on the left is Philip Rosedale (creator of Second Life), then Jered Kenna (Tradehill), then Eric Chan (moderator), then Charlie Shrem (BitInstant), then Rebecca Watson (of RadiumOne).

So Bitcoin takes 2 of the 5 speaking spots for the Virtual Currencies panel. You may remember that Ben Milne was supposed to be on this panel as well, but he dropped out of the entire event at the last minute (wonder why?).

Wouldn't that be 2 of 4... I'm not sure I'd count the moderator as a speaker.  Also, lol @dwolla.  Those assholes suspended my account and won't respond to my emails.  My account was empty and I'm fed up, so I'm not going to bother calling them.  I'm not sure I could be civil.

Are you there? I didn't see you.

Slash not really... I'm four time zones away.

Ashton Kutcher: So why aren't you attending the Future of Money Conference, Ben.
Ben Milne: Because those Bitcoin guys were going to team up on me.
Ashton Kutcher: Good call! How's my investment doing?
Ben Milne: I'm freezing accounts as quickly as possible, but need more manpower.
Ashton Kutcher: Need another injection of funds?
Ben Milne: You da Man!

I may not be the sharpest knife in the light socket, but at least my elevator goes both directions.
