‘Bitcoin Elite’ to Gather on Secret Island for Bilderberg-Style Retreat

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 event is openly exclusive, and as such, its official website cautions that only 50 members of the ecosystem will attend.
The website reads:
‘Even if you are a great person with many accomplishments in bitcoin and lots of passion we just won’t likely be able to invite you.’
