Most of you guys probably already know there is a private get together for the elite of the Bitcoin world i would like some opinions to what you think they are planning for when they return. http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-elite-meet-secret-island-bilderberg-style-retreat/Will we expect a crash? Will we get good news? Bitcoin was meant to be decentralized and open this seems to be quite the opposite imo

It has been called a "Brave New World", among other things. Perhaps Bitcoin wealth will be used to fund a "kinder, gentler" United Nations? Do you think 'Satoshi' made it to the island meetings?

This seems to alike to the Bilderburg group as the article states and i do not see any good to come from that, i am not a full on conspiracy theorist but i do not believe meetings behind closed doors to a select few can have any benefit to the wider community. Maybe i am just paranoid but history shows nothing good comes from these style meetings as they are usually set up to take more control in a centralized way. Had the same thought surely if he is still alive he must attend and save his baby, but do we believe he is even alive or cares? last log in 2010 if i remember right. Aha the beautiful UN created after the wars to bring peace to the world in a centralized way, that has worked out wonders.

Doubt it will have negative effect on price, since we are allready down too much, but who knows, maybe there will be yet another dip before we start going up again. Dont be mistaken, bitcoin is decentralised, and theese kind of elites will disappear with time as bitcoin get more widespread. cheers

The fact it is decentralized is why i am so into it and i am sure was why Satoshi created it, (What a legend) Where are you Satoshi come back ffs these people are trying to kidnap your baby. Do we believe they will really disappear or just wishful thinking? I hope they find the shadows and leave something great, well great. Cheers B

"Old-School Cypherpunk" Vinay Gupta seems to think the bitcoin foundation is not such a good thing. see near the end of this article---> https://bitcoinmagazine.com/18000/bitcoin-is-teaching-realism-to-libertarians-an-interview-with-old-school-cypherpunk-vinay-gupta/"And then you have the Bitcoin Foundation, which is emerging naturally from the Bitcoin environment simply because it has established an economically efficient configuration. By paying the technical priesthood of Bitcoin known as the Core developers, the Foundation has created a huge amount of centralized power within a system that didn’t really start with any, which has now effectively turned it into a natural monopoly. And once you have a monopoly, it looks like a state. No wonder that the Bitcoin Foundation looks so frightening." He goes on to suggest that we, any of us, could start another Bitcoin Foundation, or several. There's nothing stopping you.

Could anybody in here, just tell me, what is so bad about this meeting? What outcome do you fear? What can this "elite"-group really do that will hurt Bitcoin so much?

Im not expecting anything to happen quick its more a team bulding exercise i reckon. Overall its bullish for the big holders to communicate closely.

I heard on a secret forum, they are going to pay the foundation to make bitcoins a proof of stake coin.
I AM JUST SAYING...
What do you guys think is going to happen? The protocol is going to change overnight LOL Whatever happens will not effect bitcoin in the least bit. Now if they were banks I be scared.

Maybe a conspiracy. Lets just hope its nothing to do with the price but the development of the platform.

they could pool their combined resources to swing the price any which way they want and reap huge profits from the unpredictability they cause in the market ,thats only one of the damaging things they could do they could do quite a lot of damage if they have the majority of the btc whales on board ,especially the exchange owners who can transact for free with other peoples coins ,they are the most dangerous IMO

What will happen? Absolutely nothing. Bitcoin was meant to be decentralized and open this seems to be quite the opposite imo
And it still is, but that doesn't mean groups of people can form their own boys club. Let them have their secret meetings. It doesn't matter.

They are probably discussing developing the infrastructure further. Its a meeting of smart people. They are already making money with theiur existing ideas, and don't need a meeting just to make more.

Actually as someone that had the opportunity to go, but didn't act on it for my own views about some of the people there. I have to agree and disagree. I think they all wanted to go to a nice vacation spot, but I would have enjoyed just listening on skype more than flying to a remote island.
