The rising popularity of bitcoin in recent days does not seem to be subsiding. According to Tom Lee, CEO of Fundstrat, Bitcoin could boost its bullish behavior thanks to the annual “Consensus Summit” conference.
According to an article published by Bloomberg, an analysis conducted by the firm concluded that after each conference, confidence in the crypto market increases considerably.[1]
The NY Consensus Summit is an initiative of particular importance to the world of crypto money and blockchain technology companies. But beyond that, the event has made a name for itself, going from 400 attendants in 2015 to more than 4000 expected this year.
After last year’s conference, not only did bitcoin prices increase drastically, but several startups and ICOs also gained a lot of exposure, significantly increasing their market share.
Tom Lee expects this behavior to be repeated this year. A slightly brighter picture of blockchain technologies and more significant public exposure to the world of cryptos set the grounds to such optimistic forecasts.
But it is not only Mr. Lee who has high expectations for such an event. Its organizers; the Coindesk team, have raised the bar to new heights: tickets are valued at between $1499 and $2999 USD and the advertising revenue – already collected in full – far exceeds that of last year. On their website the Coindesk team is quite optimistic about what they have to offer:
“Consensus 2018 will feature 250+ speakers and 4,000+ attendees from the leading industry startups, investors, financial institutions, enterprise tech leaders, and academic and policy groups who are building the foundations of the blockchain and digital currency economy.”
