We wanted to send you an update on some exciting things we have been up to! Besides ramping up new facilities, and optimising our infrastructure (stay tuned regarding these!) we also continued with our Bitcoin Awareness campaign.
Since the hype around 2017 price booms has faded it was a perfect time to remind everyone blockchain and cryptocurrency are still making waves. Most recently, we attended CoinDesk’s Consensus Conference in NYC and launched satirical protest to get the media’s focus on Bitcoin once again. We wanted to have them talk about something deeper than Bitcoin price fluctuations.
At this staged demonstration a large crowd of “protesters” walked around the conference center with some comedic signs and a banner. You can read the Mashable coverage of it here.
Our CEO Marco Streng shared an open letter explaining that the protest was meant to show that legacy industries that have failed to innovate for consumers are quickly being replaced by decentralized blockchain solutions.
