In Today’s Crypto Minute: It’s Blockchain Week! What’s the latest going on in New York City?

Consensus is Underway

According to Forbes, Coindesk’s annual crypto-centered conference is predicted to bring roughly 8,500 visitors through the doors of the New York Hilton Midtown throughout the week. Amongst those in attendance are Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey, St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank president James Bullard and European Parliament member Eva Kaili.

The estimated event attendance is up from just 2,700 last year according to Reuters. Consensus 2018 will feature 250 speakers to explore the current and future landscape of the industry including Dorsey, who is slated to speak on Wednesday.

These tulips were ironically on full display as the center peices for the Coin Center Gala.

“Bankers” banned together in the on-going fight against Bitcoin to rally a protest outside the Consensus Convention.

In New York for #Blockchain week. Love the sense of humour of the #crypto community! Protest of the "Bankers against Bitcoin"! "19% fees to send money to Mexico is fair" "Bitcoin ruined our business model" "Why hasn't this bubbled popped" "You did eat our lunch" https://t.co/VpfYEUioGb

One nice thing about being a crypto-celebrity at Consensus blockchain week is being able to get into sold-out parties by saying "I'm Charlie Lee, let me and my posse in!" The flip side is that I sometimes even have to make conversation at the urinal. Talk about awkward! 😂
