Entitled ‘Sovereignty Summit’, it’s being hosted by local-based Bitcoin Basin, whose founder, Arrowtowner Nell Hunter, expects up to 1000 delegates from around the world.
While rooted in Bitcoin and the principles of ‘sound money’, the gathering’s designed to go beyond finance and technology to what it’s said to enable such as freedom and a more sovereign future.
“We want people to leave feeling energised, inspired and empowered by what the future could look like when individuals and families have more freedom, more choice and stronger foundations beneath them,” Hunter says.
She’s delighted Queenstown has more than 50 businesses that accept Bitcoin, and the prospect of the summit should encourage more to join, she suggests.
Meantime, she and her husband Riki Hunter and Queenstown couple Luli Bonifetto and Francisco Colombo are going to Europe’s largest Bitcoin conference — with up to 10,000 attendees — in Prague, Czech Republic, next week.
“I’ll be going over there to talk about Queenstown, talk about what we’ve been up to and just meet some of the big players,” says Hunter, who’s been asked to speak.
