                                                 such elitist, wow ↑



Hateful comments in 3, 2, 1 :

You dont need to wait for hateful comments over here. Check the CoinDesk's comment section instead ;)

By the way, here is the original thread by Bruce Fenton https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=934599.0

exclusive not inclusive

like it or not, bitcoin is becoming the last thing we wanted more and more everyday

check my posts going back a longtime. you won't hear this from me, I'm not trolling. simply speaking the truth

good alts offer me what I want in crypto. btc is simply a way of getting them for me

Thanks, that's very insightful post, and your arguments are hard to refute. Keep them coming.

The irony of an exclusive btc elite meet up aside, i Think this will be a great party. ;p
Question is, will they be using btc for everything?
Shouldn't be too hard to find the hotels that accept btc on the islands... Expensive gate crash weekend incoming...



I wish

This is a more appropriate post about this meeting than the first one by the douche bag that advertised it with a very clear "sorry, we're all booked though, suckers" vibe to it.

An meeting for the "elite of BTC" goes against all that Bitcoin stands for. Now it's unrealistic for everyone to be able to attend the same meeting (nothing would get done) but it is realistic to expect that all info discussed be shared openly with the community.

I hope what's discussed at this meeting is available for the public to read and comment on as well.

Yesterday's freedom fighters become today's dictators.

That's how evolution goes on forever and forever...

wow, this is truly disgusting .. i hope a tsunami drowns that fucking island

the plot thikens

Awesome that some anarchists are now considered elite. We have come a long way in our struggle ;D

Wait it looks like I jumped to conclusions and they aren't calling themselves elite -
http://satoshiroundtable.org/
Its just a small group of Bitcoin ceo's and enthusiasts getting together.... :P

Perhaps we can call ourselves "elite" in this thread and not share our personal IM's with anyone else because they aren't invited?

fork off

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/issues/671

- date: 2015-02-06
  title: "The Satoshi Roundtable"
  venue: "Private Resort"
  address: "invitation only"
  city: "Punta Cana"
  country: "Dominican Republic"
  link: "satoshiroundtable.org"

Only thing I could think of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_Island#Planning_of_the_Federal_Reserve_System

The forum is infested with government shills trying to create certain sentiment/opinions. The  fork thing is connected and i think Gavin is not to be trusted anymore. I think he has become corrupt.

These dumb lucky early investors can gather as much as they want, at least we know they cant trick the protocol, while in fiat world then can.

you're also one of them shills aren't you?

Now that is something that I didn't know about earlier. Some kind of big agenda going on over there.

So what's wrong? Has it suddenly become illegal to meet-up between people with shared interests?
Last Wednesday, I had a private meet-up with a woman in a secret place without anyone knowing anything about it. Those things happen!

Then, there's no secret when the list of participants is public. Note that within the 50 people, I only see the names of 4 women. Not enough.

negative comments here are moronic
and the comparison to Bilderberg is
even more so.

Industry leaders get together all the time.  There's nothing
special about that. 

forum is infested. This thread attracts the shills like cowshit attracts flies.
Man, I'm out. Stick your nsa-bitcoin into your behind. I'm done. Goodby

How is it called "Satoshi Roundtable" but Satoshi is nowhere to be found? That's really, really suspicious.

They select a Satoshi similar to "The Wicker Man" (2006).

is this real?
is bitcoin elite so wealthy?

so they are going to meet to talk about what will happen with bitcoin?

The market cap of all the bitcoins is pocket change to real wealthy people.

So what? A gathering of the biggest moneymakers in Bitcoin on an expensive to visit island and you can't go. That pisses you off? Even if you were invited you couldn't afford to go so why worry?

people not reading this - the meeting is apparently sponsored by the US-govt

"Secret Island" is code for Gitmo.

The information provided doesn't reflect that as private companies take money from governments all the time.

even more: really, really, really, really, really, really suspicious.

Why are you so afraid, so paranoid?
They can't force anything that we don't want onto the protocol itself.
You just reject the update --> Bitcoin gets split (Bitcoin civil war) --> Voila - both forks would probably die.

Yeah and I think you're a fat buddah.

So it begins... PoWers that BTC, lol ;D



It's good that Doge managed to sneak through, we will know all the secrets anyway! :)

Satoshi round table,

Looks like cycle of price.

Round table,

Did one of company get profit from bitcoin due the round ??

And so it begins.... ;D


Exactly my thoughts, but like the bitcoin foundation they don't represent anyone or anything but themselves and their own interests, so let them have their secret little circle jerk clubs.

Did she look like that?

Congratulations. You are now at infowars:
http://www.infowars.com/bitcoin-elites-plan-secret-bilderberg-style-confab/

What we want to know about are the conversations that occur off-record, not the reports that they make to maintain some facade of transparency.  ;)

Its ridiculous that they have to go to an island, seems like they are try hards.

What exactly this means for the Bitcoin community is unclear, but one can imagine some significant changes are on the horizon.

no it's not.  first of all DR is a great place especially in the winter.   where should they go , Boston?
roger ver can't even enter the US.

People can bitch about this kind of thing all they like, they won't be able to do anything the way they traditionally have, that's what makes cryptocurrencies so different from paper and fractional reserve here's why:

1. Bitcoin is open source, people who rant that it can be controlled should be ignored, open source software can never be controlled

2. Cryptocurrencies are something that all sorts of unlikely allies have rallied around as it is a way to truly become free of the current financial system

3. There are literally hundreds of alternatives available so even if a group did manage to take over Bitcoin ( It has been discussed to death why it would be very difficult to do so and conspiracy nutters just choose to ignore this ) the many alternatives would quickly adapt to the problems caused here by said group attempting to monopolise and manipulate the currency

4. Because Bitcoin is open source, the code can be reviewed any time, therefore cryptocurrencies as a whole are extremly scrutinised and peer reviewed, any attempt on the part of developers to manipulate the currency through the code itself would be quickly spotted and countered

5. I have made a copy of the original source code before any changes were made just in case and put it in my hard drive a long with a couple of other early versions, no one will be able to attack cryptocurrencies as long as I draw breath as long as people take steps to protect themselves against this kind of thing our enemies will be able to do nothing against us

I'm no financial or economic expert, but I think simply from a regulatory standpoint they can help to make or break the BTC market.

From a regulatory standpoint, regulating Bitcoin is completely unrealistic, the only thing they can really do and have if heavily restrict the trade of Bitcoin for paper money, anything else is simply going to drive cryptocurrencies underground because in order to enforce any laws against cryptocurrencies they would have to arrest just about everyone trading with it and that means going into peoples homes and finding out if their are any coins on their computers.

The regulation and criminilisation of cryptocurrencies is going to be about as sucessful as what they did with filesharing, eventually they're just going to end up bankrupting themselves trying to take us all down.

they should go and stay on richard bransons necker island since he is a bitcoin supporter also

^^^^

government shill

dude, your comment is ridiculous

you are pro hardfork and pro meeting - wtf are you doing in bitcoin?

You leave trashcomments everywhere just to cause attrition.

sink them with that island

doesn't matter. I think you have an agenda. No need to continue discussion.

So, it doesn't matter, what the meeting is about, since you are already against it?

It doesn't matter to him, as he's probably the one who 'has an agenda'

Does anyone have any idea what % of existing BTC the people attending that meeting own together, by approximation?

I am pretty sure its a large chunk because they own big bitcoin companies.

why not in london? in amsterdam? or in san francisco? or rome? or tokio?
why not in a public venue?

is this maybe a private circle jerk party?

probably everyone getting instructions on the hardork and the future of bitcoin

I live in Dominican Republic, I wished that i could participate or listen at least.. oh boy. Why is this a closed meeting for an open source project...

Oh! boy this is good
I wish i'd be someone reputable enough to be called there someday :)

It's funny how probably there is some kid out there that mined a shit tons of coins in the early days to buy weed in SK and now is wealthy enough to attend there as someone important. Life is luck.

CoinDesk is a weird publication that's for sure. They basically are merely a mouthpiece for many companies and many of them have turned out to be scams. CoinDesk publishes anything -they pushed Robocoin, guess what, RObocoin is broke now. It is pretty sick thinking that this is the biggest news site in the Bitcoin space.

Wow Really? Who?
Well! early miners did got alot if they held to their bitcoins
Just like the guy who bought the pizza(only if he had held onto those)
Or the one selling 10,000 btc for 50$ (but atlast he didn't )
Life is luck :)
Though am not probably one of the lucky one's but i'll keep it on my work ;)

Well, you can always organise your own secret-yet-publically-announced meeting and invite/don't invite whoever you want. No need to wait to be "reputable enough" (whatever that means).

They are going to have a bitcoin orgy it's so obvious, why else would it be behind closed doors-----

There are a lot of dudes there. How much lube does it take to open those doors? LOLOLOLOLOL

Satoshi must be going so just ask alex jones to get over there and uncover his real identity, i will email him after this message too see if he is busy.

crypto anarchism 2.0 = elitistic orgy

O tempora, o mores! (cicero)  8)

Great to hear Bilderberg coming to Bitcoin Land. Next should be QE, or IMF ?

It doesn't matter where it's held it would still be off limits to the general public. They probably just chose an island so they could have a holiday at the same time but they probably get a kick out of all the mystique too.


Why? These things are always just for the big boys to feel important and exclusive.

It's got to be neutral and people from all over the world are going to be there so what better reason top have it held somewhere nice. Might even be cheaper then renting out an upmarket hotel in some major city as well.

Its so cliche, they could be more original i think.

OTOH TBF was not invited ;D

Is it not BTC about decentralisation, freedom, no globalization , no secrets?

Try to think a little bit. Who is behind Bitstamp, Coinbase, Kraken, BTC-China, Ripple?

Take a look ! Roger Ver, Micky Malka, Erik Voorhees and another 2-3 people. Yes, these people control 90% from BTC

They funded all these exchange businesses so they control them meaning they control the whole BTC market

lmao

lay off teh pipe dude.

welcome in the real world. 8)

it was an irony, dude. there is so much hypocrisy here. :)

it's funny because the BTC users don't think about "Who is behind Bitstamp, Coinbase, Kraken, BTC-China, Ripple? " Answer "Roger Ver, Micky Malka, Erik Voorhees and another 2-3 people."

"Bitcoin elite" is an oxymoron. We've never hosted an exclusive event and don't plan to
