Bhinneka News Online: Announcing the First Two Panels at Consensus 2018

Here are two of the many panels to come ...

At 12:00AM EST on Friday, tickets to Consensus 2018 are going to increase in price by $500.

But perhaps you've been waiting to see what keynotes and panels there are going to be at Consensus.

You already know about Jack Dorsey keynoting. We'll be announcing another major keynote later this week.

And now we're announcing the first of two panels, which you can see below.

Panel 1: First the rest, then the west?

Jed McCaleb - Co-Founder, Stellar Development Foundation
Sunny Ray - Co-Founder, Unocoin
Elizabeth Rossiello - CEO & Founder, BitPesa

In the early days of Bitcoin, there was a general belief that the lack of incumbent financial infrastructure in some developing economies would allow cryptocurrency innovation to blossom.

This panel brings early pioneers together to hear their thoughts after four years of development and entrepreneurship to find out if these markets will lead to innovation and light the way for the rest of the world.

Panel 2: Before Crypto, After Crypto

Yoni Assai - CEO & Founder, eToro
Slava Rubin - Chief Business Officer & Co-Founder, Indiegogo
Ted Livingston - CEO, Kik

Cryptocurrency buzz has spread like a virus since Satoshi launched the world's first blockchain.

There's a new entrant in the space ... Relatively new and successful companies that raised capital through VCs or are publicly traded have suddenly caught the bug and jumped in head first to offer cryptocurrency services or leverage the early stage funding mechanisms.

This panel brings together three different examples of this trend and gives them the stage to share their stories.

This is just a taste of what we have planned for Consensus 2018. We're bringing over 200 speakers to New York City in May, so if you want to be part of that story, register now.
