                                                 such elitist, wow ↑

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.

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

Admittedly I do not know who a lot about Bruce Fenton, I know he ran for election for the Bitcoin foundation, but I noticed something that is somewhat concerning.

I've been doing some digging into this website satoshiroundtable.org for fun. The whois information for it shows:

Why does this company FDVT has some connection to the Satoshi Roundtable? This is concerning.

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

[waaat?]

[inBitweTrust]

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

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....

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

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.

[neurotypical]

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.

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.
