Bitshares definitely needs a representative there because you know the Ethereum team will be there.

This event certainly is jam packed with serious heavy hitters (I'm a huge Ray Kurzweil fan). The cost is steep ($3750) for a ticket but it certainly could lead to powerful new contacts for us.  Bytemaster I'm sure won't be able to attend but I could, if the team supports the idea. Will run by bytemaster and see if it's a possibility.  B

$3750 is like one days worth of PTS, I say go for it. If it is possible to hook someone there, Brian is the one to do it.

+5% but also thinking a dev on your side would be very helpful

Send Brian to talk to the media, and send Daniel to talk to the industry leaders. Spend $20k on this event if necessary. This is exactly what the marketing budget should be used for.

you get a $750 discount with code SUFRIEND

Peter Diamandis says, “An exponential organization is one whose impact (or output) is disproportionally large compared to its number of employees because of its use of networks, automation and/or its leveraging of the crowd.”


Yep, I3 certainly doesn't have thousands and thousands of employees but is working on something that in my opinion will change the world. Perhaps, that is why Google wanted two of you. :)

In fact what is being worked on here is aligned with the world view of these people.

So you wouldn't have to convince them that Bitcoin is more than just currency and that the underlying technology allows
for other applications of distributed trust.

You probably wouldn't face as much resistance from them as Peter Schiff.

Unfortunately, we didn't make this event, but I heard it was awesome.  We will definitely be at Money 20/20 however, later in the year.  An equally impressive event. B
