Monte Carlo and Ibiza Venues for 2019 Hodl Rally

It’s the season for ‘Blockchain Week’, with New York Consensus 2019 coming up and Paris 2019 just having drawn to a close, but one event to look out for and getting a plug in Paris last week, is the 2019 Hodl Rally, scheduled for June.

If this sounds more like it should be a top gear event or a follow up to Paris-Dakar, that is understandable. It was described in Paris last week as “1,800 miles. 7 nights. 6 parties. 2 conferences. 100 cars. 1 superyacht party. 1 poker tournament. A fashion show. A charity gala.” Fair enough it’s a blockchain event… and its sounds pretty impressive, for those into Cannonball Runs. The Hodl Rally site tells its readers what they can expect:

“We will be combining Blockchain conferences with parties, dinners, fashion show, yacht parties, club takeovers, poker tournaments, beach parties, beautiful models and lots of supercars. We will be driving across the most beautiful and diverse scenic continent; Europe, 8 cities in 8 days with a stopover in each city.”

Follow that with a 3-day visit to Barcelona for the World Crypto Convention, then a closing party at club Ibiza, and it’s starting to look like an interesting week.

It comes at a price at USD 3,897 per person, and some might argue such events are a bit of left-over from when partygoers danced till dawn with no concerns where the next Bitcoin was coming from, although to be fair a third floating blockchain conference is planned for September of this year. That one is using an entire ship reserved for a potential 2,500 cryptocurrency enthusiasts sailing the Mediterranean Sea. The cruise is organized by cryptocurrency exchange CoinsBank taking in Barcelona, Monte Carlo and Ibiza as 100 speakers deliver presentations on current developments in the industry.

Virtue Nightingale, the organizer of the Hodl Rally set for 3oth June, says the glam is absolutely not over the top, quick to point out the Gumball 3000 costs around USD 65,000 for a ticket, and the Hodl Rally has already sold 30 tickets, mostly to crypto and blockchain enthusiasts. He pointed out:

“It brings people from different walks of life altogether as one community, participating in this event and then what you do is you take that time, that opportunity to educate and inspire people about the importance of blockchain in their day-to-day lives.”
