I'd pay to go on the trip.. even if it required a small amount to be added to help fund this project.
EG trip cost + donation and I'd be in.
Alas it's gotta be next year.. :S Already going to mexico in Nov..

Bitcoin Island Party
Join Coinapult, Aspen Assurance & Bitcoin Beauties
for the first tropical Bitcoin party! We are throwing a full-island party called The Bit Drop for an entire nation in the Caribbean. The Bit Drop will be sending Bitcoin to every resident with SMS texting on this Caribbean island — roughly tens of thousands of people who call this island home will be part of a unique experience. Each islander will own Bitcoin and celebrate in style with well-known surprise musical artists who support Bitcoin, fire dancers, sponsored tropical island spirits, free giveaways, and full bitcoin education booths during the event.

I'm in South Florida, USA, highly interested, was going to take a cruise recently, hopefully this would be better to network etc.
I'm aware of Coinapult & Bitcoin Beauties. But what is this Aspen Assurance ? What do they do ? Who's behind it ?
aspen assurance turn bitcoins into FIAT. kinda strange for a fiat converter to be involved in a PURELY bitcoin hand out project. which also led me to believe it was a money grab.. as there would be no need at all to even touch fiat, if this were a true bitcoin project.
but yea its kinda obvious to be a money grab when the 'off-shore bank account' company is involved rather than expedia
Looks like Jason King's honest face is being used by wrong party.

Now how fun of a vacation would that be, and just imagine all the fun intoxicated crypto chats with fellow bitcoiners! ?
.1 though, I rather save it and hope one day its worth a vacation on its own.

Make it Tortuga!!!!!!!!!! Arrrrrrrrrr
Strange, this looks like Necker Island? (which happens to be a private island) It's possibly a scam, if you ask me.

If you look at the name of the picuture... you are indeed correct. Yet, the picture seems to have nothing to do with letthebitdrop.com. Maybe OP just googled "nice island"?
In fact I only see a single page with a lot of text that does not make me want to send them money.
All 3 announced thebitdrop on their twitter though.[1]

i dont know if this whole thing is real or scam. i just wanted to say that, if its legit, its a cool idea.
Is coinapult official involved with this?
Is that service run by reputable members of the community?

The use of terminology is pretty laughable
i knew the image that the "litecoinguy" posted was Richard bransons island. but i just presumed he linked a random island image just for the sake of it..
where as the "bitcoin island party" never mentions any details such as:
how many hotel rooms that may be available, (they want a mass crowd, then its stupid to pick a small island with just 1 hotel with 50 rooms)
which week
which island
so i put "the litecoinguy" post aside, and was concentrating on the money grab campaign from coinapult. (the madhatter).
but from what i can see it is most definetly a money grab. cheeky beggers!
id rather a campaign be where they mention the lation and the dates (a specific week) and allow us to just use expedia and other bitcoin accepting travel sites to book the hotel/filight. rather than doing these crap centralized money grabs, just to make them richer.

Funny, how the OP and cap2002 over at Reddit post similarly, and somehow SRB gets tossed into the mix now and then.
Looks like some stealth marketing's afoot that may have the potential of a money grab.
