What exactly this means for the Bitcoin community is unclear, but one can imagine some significant changes are on the horizon.

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.”

In a post, Fenton described the event as a “private dinner”, one in which participants will be able to “speak more freely” about the pressing issues facing the bitcoin space.
Fenton went on to talk about the challenges faced by those in the bitcoin ecosystem in this regard with more concrete examples.
“Many CEOs will not criticise regulators in a public event because they fear reprisals from the regulators. Another example is that some CEOs fear to attack known scams in public because they don't want attacks from scammers or to be associated with them (even as a critic) in the newspaper,” he wrote.
Fenton cited the need for open and honest dialogue on such subjects as one of the reasons it is closed to the public and the press.
