Crypto Conventions Hit Hard by COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a seismic shift in almost every sector, and the world of cryptocurrency is no exception. Major conferences designed to celebrate and advance the crypto community are now feeling the pinch. Notably, the much-anticipated Bitcoin 2020 event scheduled for March 27-28 in San Francisco has been postponed to the third quarter of 2020. Similarly, the DC Blockchain Summit 2020, organized by the Chamber of Digital Commerce, has been shelved as organizers grapple with the evolving health crisis.
Ticket Holders, Rejoice!
For those who already secured tickets to Bitcoin 2020, there’s good news: your tickets remain valid for the rescheduled event! Organizers are asking attendees to hold onto their tickets and avoid hasty refund requests while they iron out the new event details. After all, a little patience could pay off when the conference returns with a bang later in the year!
Importance of Bitcoin 2020
Bitcoin 2020 was set to be a pivotal gathering, especially with the Bitcoin halving looming in May. Attendees were looking forward to hearing from key speakers in the Bitcoin ecosystem, discussing Blockchain technology, and perhaps deciding if the crypto realm can meet its lofty potential as a transformative technology. It’s safe to say that even the blockchain can’t predict the future this time!
DC Blockchain Summit’s Mission
On the flip side, the DC Blockchain Summit also has substantial plans. With the attendance of both government officials and influential figures from the industry, this conference aims to illuminate the intersection of regulation and blockchain technology. It’s an event driven by The Chamber of Digital Commerce, an organization dedicated to maximizing the use of digital assets and innovative technologies. A well-informed blockchain community is essential, especially in uncertain times.
A Global Ripple Effect
It’s not just the US that’s feeling the effects of COVID-19. Although we’d like to think it’s an isolated incident, the pandemic has extended its influence globally. The Paris Blockchain Conference, initially slated for the end of March, has also postponed to the end of 2020. Reports indicate that numerous cryptocurrency-related events across Asia have faced similar delays.
Final Thoughts
It’s a challenging time for crypto enthusiasts and industry leaders alike. As we navigate through these unprecedented changes, let’s stay connected—possibly from a safe distance—for the future of Blockchain. After all, the crypto world is all about innovation, even in crisis!
