                                                 such elitist, wow


Quote
An unnamed Caribbean island is set to serve as the venue for a secretive, closed-door gathering of elite bitcoin CEOs and luminaries this weekend.

Satoshi Roundtable, to be held from 6th to 8th February, is suggestive of the famed Bilderberg conference, the annual meeting at which more than 100 finance experts gather in relative secret to the delight of global conspiracy theorists.

Organized by Bruce Fenton of the Bitcoin Association and Atlantic Financial, participants in the first annual Satoshi Roundtable include top executives from companies such as Blockchain, BitGo, BitPesa, Chain, ChangeTip, Coinapult and MegaBigPower, as well as noted VCs in the space such as Erik Voorhees and Roger Ver.

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...

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.

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

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.... Tongue

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

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.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

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.

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.

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.
Did she look like that?

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. 

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.

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.

                                                 such elitist, wow


Quote
An unnamed Caribbean island is set to serve as the venue for a secretive, closed-door gathering of elite bitcoin CEOs and luminaries this weekend.

Satoshi Roundtable, to be held from 6th to 8th February, is suggestive of the famed Bilderberg conference, the annual meeting at which more than 100 finance experts gather in relative secret to the delight of global conspiracy theorists.

Organized by Bruce Fenton of the Bitcoin Association and Atlantic Financial, participants in the first annual Satoshi Roundtable include top executives from companies such as Blockchain, BitGo, BitPesa, Chain, ChangeTip, Coinapult and MegaBigPower, as well as noted VCs in the space such as Erik Voorhees and Roger Ver.

Hateful comments in 3, 2, 1 :

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

I am pro hardfork because I understand how it works and I never said i was PRO meeting I just said this thread is full of sensationalism (Is it not?) I think people are scared of change but they need to remember this isn't the banking sector, we need to do whats best for the coin and not just fear groups or individuals.

The hell do you think this meeting is going to be about anyways? A way to somehow make themselves more money and make a 1% elite evil group or do you think it could possibly be for advancing the coin through more ideas for the blockchain and increasing a positive outlook on bitcoin for the masses?

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

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 Smiley

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).

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.

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

We work hard to promote Bitcoin adoption and the decentralization of society. You can support our efforts by donating BTC to 35wDNxFhDB6Ss8fgijUUpn2Yx6sggDgGqS
