Title: How about a bitshares leadership summer meet
Post by: bitmarket on March 22, 2015, 03:24:05 am
Hey everyone,

I think a meetup in the flesh with bitshares leadership, delegates, and entrepreneurs building on top of the protocol would be incredibly beneficial.

Knowing it will most likely be in the US, I will selfishly suggest sometime between June 15th and August 15th as that is when I will be in the US next.

Is there any interest in this?  Virginia meet be a good location to keep costs down for the most amount of people or something like Vegas could be fun enough to draw more people.   Is there any interest in this?   To get specific.... perhaps answer this question.

Would you attend a bitshares specific event that would span a Saturday and Sunday this summer if it were held in America?

Feedback welcome

How about Pyongyang then? Since that's between China and the US it should be a convenient location for everybody :)

Greece my friends. The best place for a summer meetup is in Mykonos island. By then we may have drachma so it will be very cheap for you guys :).

Other than that Vegas is good for me also

To be honest I cannot afford to travel.  I am pretty sure most people are in similar positions---whether it means they cannot afford the time or the money.   I hope everyone who attends enjoys it though.

I had the same issue back when most of you guys met in Vegas ..
It seems to me that, as a decentralized ecosystem, we should focus on regional, maybe continental meetups ..
BitShares Europe -> Amsterdam
BitShares US -> Blackburg / Vegas
BitShares China -> Peking?

Anyway, I'd love to meet ALL of you guys at some time on future

Why do you say that? Do you think that it would have to be in the US?

I think there is nothing wrong with holding one!    I just think for a decentralized community it is far better to do it in a way that significantly lowers barriers to entry as opposed to the current model which carries with it a great deal of difficulty for everyday joes and jills who would like to attend and participate.

I would be up to that. Greece is considerably cheaper than Amsterdam. Last time I was at an Amsterdam Conference I spent almost 1000 Euro in 4 days for airbnb, taxi, local fast food, etc. Mykonos would be awesome.

If you guys come to Athens, I could most probably arrange that you stay in one of the best hotels in Athens and maybe we can arrange something so you guys pay in biteur. Amazing views in Acropole and the n01 roof garden bar in the centre of Athens...

If you guys come to Mykonos...Then that's another story..I promise you won't get much sleep there and you will have an unforgettable time..

MF tzo has the hook ups... now we just need btctrip to take bitUSD as well to make the reservations in full crypto style! If the price of BTS is up I would come out.  8) Never been to Europe.
