According to Bitcoin Trader chief executive Nathan van den Bosch, this symposium will be the first of several quarterly events and will be targeting finance professionals such as wealth advisers, traders, financial planners, accountants, superannuation specialists and auditors.
Mr van den Bosch said, “The symposium will offer a host of networking opportunities in this very new and exciting fintech space.
“It’s about providing clear and simple guidance to those who are interested in investing in cryptocurrencies. This will include information about tax implications, AML and SIS Act compliance, secure storage, self-managed super funds, the underlying blockchain technology and, ultimately, how to use cryptocurrencies as a method of making everyday payments.”
The symposium will be held on 10 May 2018 at the Four Seasons Ballroom in Sydney.
How many bitcoins, ripple, ethereum, etc. does it cost to attend?
Are the Four Seasons accepting crypto-currencies for accommodation, food, bar, etc?
All crypto-currencies will not be accepted at the Four Seasons, just rang them to confirm.
They sure did used to say that….. and was the market ‘done’? “They” used to (and still do) say lots of things, much of which is just repeated blindly and without any research.
I’m constantly amazed at the blinkered attitude of many responders here. I’m sure plenty of people will attend the aformementioned symposium and come out with far more useful knowledge than before they entered.
Marek, Do you know who Henry Kaye is? This sounds a little like that.
I hadn’t heard of him before, Jape, but I had a look at an article about him. Can’t see the similarities here though? One is a property spruiker charging criminally high rates of interest and quite possibly engaging in other nefarious activities, the other is a company that is providing education around a nascent and emerging technology. There’s no mention up there of selling any cryptocurrencies to anyone, rather it looks as though they’re providing useful information to those who are interested. Even if they were spruiking cryptocurrencies, unless Bitcoin Trader (the company) or any of its associates directly owned the currency(ies) or tokens, they would not benefit from the sales anyway.
Marek, tell me. What I want to know is whose aircraft carrier group is backing cryptocurrency? As far as I’m concerned this is what it comes down to.
A bit of a history. In WWII the militarily stronger countries took significant amounts of gold (the universal currency right?) from less protected countries. Never repaid.
And these days with (allegedly) state-sponsored hackathons and decentralised currency issuers it only gets more complicated.
A currency worth its salt is part of a dominant regional alliance that can protect its trade network. The rest is BS.
As far as I can tell no serious government has backed any crypto to date. So if you’re silly enough to put your wealth in these things, don’t cry when it evaporates.
Hi Marek, since you responded to me, yes it was done. The whole comment was about a market that is priced miles above what it should be. You said “they sure did used to say that” as if you knew the reference but obviously had no idea what you’re talking about. This was about the 1929 wall street crisis!
Anon; I knew exactly what it was referring to (re the 1929 crash that triggered the great depression). Why does a military have to back something to make it worthwhile? Do militaries back gold, silver, commodities? (to name but 3 things that are traded as valuable assets).
I don’t know why I keep coming back and commeting here as it seems anything I say falls on deaf ears!
Personally, I am constantly learning new information each day about the cryptocurrency space and there are some very interesting developments happening. Unlike gold and precious metals, the beauty of crypto assets is that they cannot be seized by government. You can literally destroy all of your wallet devices and as long as you know your recovery key you can restore your assets to a new wallet at a later stage. This is something that no other asset class can offer.
Just because a government right now doesn’t back it, doesn’t mean it’s worthless (refer example above).
At the end of the day you are welcome to make up your own minds. I will continue educating myself in this area as I know that much bigger things are coming. You will only be seeing more and more of this technology as time progresses. Or you can keep dismissing it and hoping it will go away. Your choice.
His whole career has been in IT sales.
They used to say that when your shoe shiner is giving you stock tips you know the market is done.
When IT salesmen are telling us “You’re to naive about investment markets” (and he’s not the only one doing this) you know it’s not a market to enter.
