I've always wanted to attend a blockchain conference (and I hope that we have a HIVEFEST one day that I can attend!) but there is always a large cost attached to the ticket that I just couldn't justify, especially since we'd have to buy 2, just to be able to attend a conference.
But with this deal, I'm very interested. The tickets are $299 BUT eToro has teamed with LA Blockchain Summit to provide a free ticket and Draper Goren Holm will give you $100 in BTC for attending.
So what are the requirements to qualify for this offer? First of all, it's only open to US citizens with this particular deal. They may have other offers in other countries. You have to open a trading account with eToro and make at least a $50 trade on your new account. I went through the process and they do collect the KYC information of name, address, and social security number, but at least you're not required to submit a driver's license or passport for verification. I'm not a fan of having to provide that info but it's pretty much a requirement everywhere if you're going to do any kind of trading business as a US citizen.
This conference is being held in Los Angeles at the LA Convention Center on October 6 - 7, 2020. We all know at this point in time that large gatherings or even interstate travel are not happening right now. I hope that by the first part of October things will be back to some kind of normalcy and events like this can take place again. No one REALLY knows what life will look like in six months but these people have hope that the event will happen. I've always wanted to visit Los Angeles and maybe catch a Lakers basketball game while I'm there.
If you find in October that you don't have the means, or don't have the opportunity to actually make the trip to California, you will also be able to attend the conference virtually! This promotion for the $100 in BTC can be redeemed on-site or online during the hours of the summit.
Why you should attend LA Blockchain Summit
At LA Blockchain Summit, we’re on a mission to make a lasting impact, empower the blockchain community, and promulgate mainstream adoption.
eToro has a rather unique feature, in my experience at least, of allowing you to copy the trades of anyone you might feel is being a successful trader. Your trades will mirror theirs if you're not feeling like you know enough to be successful on your own. And they have a virtual portfolio as well, which allows you to PRACTICE trading. You can make a virtual portfolio, trade to your heart's content, and see how it would have turned out for you. Are you now a virtual millionaire, or did you go bankrupt in the first week? I think that could a valuable learning tool if you're wanting to check out the day trader life without risking your life savings, lol. Of course, the first rule of trading is "never risk more than you are willing to lose!"
There's no referral link here or anything - the website source quoted under the pics is the site that offers the deal if you are interested.
