The retreat will bring together key players in the Bitcoin industry and give attendees the opportunity to network, discuss Bitcoin and win BTC prizes.
Payment processor Pouch.ph and exchange Coins.ph, two major players in the Philippine cryptocurrency landscape, have announced their partnership to host the first Bitcoin Island Retreat in Boracay. The event, scheduled from March 27-29, 2023, will bring together many bitcoin enthusiasts, thought leaders, investors and developers from around the world. The retreat aims to provide attendees with an opportunity to network, discuss bitcoin and interact with key players in the industry, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine.
Over the past year, Boracay has become one of the largest and most livable Bitcoin communities in the world. With more than 250 locations accepting Bitcoin payments, the island is a hub for enthusiasts and merchants looking to take advantage of the benefits offered by the Lightning Network.
Ethan Rose, founder and CEO of Pouch.ph, and Elijah Tan, VP of operations at Coins.ph, will lead the trailblazers in the Bitcoin industry. Other speakers at the event included Jack Lee, founder of HCM Capital and early investor in Digital Currency Group; Augustus Ilag, a cryptocurrency investor who previously led Sequoia Capital’s Southeast Asia crypto practice; and crypto educator Jiro Reyes, founder of Bitskwela.
Those attending the retreat will also have a chance to win a bitcoin prize if they can find the 12-word seed phrase to a private key owned by the Dread Pirate Nakamoto, which is placed around the island.
Bitcoin Island Retreat is a unique opportunity for the Philippine crypto community to come together and explore the future of Bitcoin. The retreat is expected to be a landmark event that will be remembered for years to come. For space reservations, interested parties may visit https://pouch.ph/retreatrsvp.
