There seems to have been nothing reported from this secret meeting. I wonder what they hoped to accomplish?

Well, I reported on my small part. It is notable that I was perhaps the least connected (to the other participants) member there, so for me the priorities were biased to getting to know people, instead of accomplishing a specific objective.

Hi,

The event is basically full for this year but I thought Bitcoin Talk might still want to know about it in case anyone would like to request a wait list invite as well as to plan for next year.

Satoshi Roundtable is a private Bitcoin and crypto retreat taking place Feb 6-8 at a private resort in the Caribbean. Invitation only and limited to 60 attendees.

http://satoshiroundtable.org

Confirmed attendees include:

Steve Beauregard, CEO, GoCoin
Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum
Michael Cao, CEO Zoom Hash
Dave Carlson, Mega Big Power
Nic Cary, CEO Blockchain
Reeve Collins, CEO, Tether
Tuur Demeester, Bitcoin Economist
Anthony DiIorio, Bitcoin Decentral, CrytpoKit, Ethereum
Bruce Fenton, Atlantic Financial / Bitcoin Association
Paige Freeman, Co-Founder, Women in Bitcoin
David Johnston, DApps Fund, Mastercoin, Factom
Charlie Lee, Coinbase/ Creator LiteCoin
Vinny Lingham, CEO Gyft
Marshall Long, CEO Final Hash
Trace Mayer, Author, investor, early adopter

Patrick Murck, Executive Director, Bitcoin Foundation
Joel Monegro, Union Square Ventures
Brock Pierce, Crypto Currency Partners
Elizabeth Rossiello, CEO BitPesa

Marco Santori, Pillsbury Winthrop
Craig Sellars, CTO Mastercoin
Paul Snow, Texas Bitcoin Alliance and Factom

And many others …

Sorry it is full. If you want to be placed on the wait list in the case of a cancelation you can send an email to [email protected]

Congrats on reminding the world that Bitcoin wealth is an elite club and the initial distribution of coins was extremely favorable for a small amount of people.

This is true of all currencies and is a consequence of engaging in a monetary system. If you want something different, I suggest looking into a resource based economy.

At the party, I think it would be fun to have one of those murder mystery games going on. You could all discover a dead dollar bill, and run around trying to discover who killed fiat currency. In the end, it would be discovered that it was bitcoin who killed fiat, in the global economy, with the truth.

Yes there will be video.

No one will be forced to be on video if they do not want to be.

Privacy is important and, unless part of a voluntary agreement people have no right to another's privacy. For example, no one would expect us to invite a member of government to keep tabs or expect us to ask guests to disclose the number of coins they have.

There are many reasons people prefer privacy in certain circumstances.

I'm sure you can have a secret meeting with more actual transparency than the Bitcoin Foundation's claims to transparency while pursuing secrecy.

Yes, both are private.
Yes we will make a video for those who wish to have thiers released.

Short summary or is it going to be recorded? You must understand that a lot of people do not like 'secret meetings' in regards to Bitcoin.

Who gives a shit what they do, it's a free world.....isn't it ?

I still think it's still a load of bollocks though Roll Eyes

In an earlier post I alresdy explained my "association" with those government agencies which is none.

About 10+ years ago I bought a small tech company from the widow of tne man who ran it. The company sold blank video tapes to the US government.

We continued that business for a couple years then ceased it and didn't pursue new govt. business. We turned the company into a tech and consulting company.

Not sure if you realize that the client list is the same for Amazon, Google, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Ford, Dell etc.

In any event I was not involved in working with those clients, never profited from it and do not now nor do I intend to pursue government clients.

I'm anti war, anti government.

It's not a matter of making a joke, just a comment on how strange conspiracy theories are.

I thought it would be cool to get a group together and have some fun in the sun. That's it, nothing more.

The origin of the idea was in Toronto, Nic Cary and I were talking and it was a great event but rather busy and loud...one of us, I think Nic, said "This is a great event, would be cool if we had an event with more time to just hang out with the speakers." I said, "Great idea, I could organize that." We walked over to Dave Carlson who was 10 feet away, he said he was in and then I emailed Roger Ver and he said he was in. Once we had the 4 of us I knew it would work so I chose a location and invited 50 more people or so.

That's it. It was never, ever contemplated that it would be a conspiracy of any sort. Just a fun chance to hang out and talk geek stuff.

The only reason for the exclusivity is due to space retraints.

Care to share your association with the following ?

Garza would not be welcome.

Moreover, if Garza is not welcome, why is Vitalik Buterin ? One has used ether to raise million and the other has used PayCoin to raise million.
