DALLAS, TX – Organizers of the second bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference (which is being held in September at Dallas) are running a special promotion. Attendees who reserve their spot before midnight on Sunday, May 6 will be able to add “companion” tickets for just $97 per head.
Tickets to the Super Conference usually cost $897 but are available at an “Early Bird” price of $597. Additional “companion” tickets for spouses, kids, friends, colleagues, or any other guests of the main attendee cost just $97 – and will benefit from all the normal “Standard Attendee” privileges.
Why is this special offer on the table this week?
Richard Jacobs, CEO of Future Tech Expo, the conference’s organizer, explains:
“This week, it’s my birthday. It’s also been about a year since I made my first bitcoin investment, and because of that, the last twelve months have been incredible for me and my family.”
He adds: “I’m even more excited about the year ahead, and several of the biggest names in the crypto and blockchain space, including Tim Draper and Mark Yusko, are predicting that bitcoin could break through its previous high of $19k before the year is out. I really wanted to share some of this excitement – plus, it being my birthday and all – so that’s why we’re running this special promotion for this week only.”
The bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference will be held at Dallas on September 14, 15, and 16. This time around, it is taking place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, which has space for more than 10,000 attendees – meaning that every attendee, and their guests/companions, will be guaranteed a seat for every talk, panel, and workshop.
In addition, organizers have upgraded the caliber of speakers. Many of the headline speakers from the previous conference will be there, including Tim Draper and Lyn Ulbricht, as well as dozens of other “smart money” investors who couldn’t make it last time, including Randi Zuckerberg (Founder & CEO of Zuckerberg Media & Early Facebook executive), Mark Yusko (billionaire hedge fund manager and Wall Street money man), Nick Spanos (founder of Blockchain Technologies Corp and featured in the Netflix Banking on bitcoin movie), David Hirsch (enforcement attorney from the SEC), and Gary Leland, from CryptoCousins.
The overarching theme of all their talks, and the entire conference, will be the next crypto and blockchain market cycle. The tide is about to turn, and when it comes in it’ll bring a host of new investment opportunities to shore. That’s what this next Super Conference is about.
Tickets (including $97 companion tickets) are now available here:

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is reportedly pressuring cryptocurrency exchanges to drop Dash (DASH), Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and other privacy-centric altcoins in a bid to cut down on money-laundering and cyberhacking.
Sources told that altcoins such , , and have become increasingly popular among criminals, kidnappers, and hackers because they’re virtually untraceable.
The FSA is particularly leery of Monero amid reports that be mining XMR to raise money in order to circumvent Western economic sanctions, as BTCManager previously reported.
FSA: Criminals Prefer Monero Over bitcoin
Experts claim that while criminals had initially used for illicit activities such as money-laundering, many now prefer dash, monero, zcash and other altcoins because they’re less traceable than bitcoin.
“The anonymity makes the [alt] coins ideal for money-laundering,” Forbes reported. “The blockchain (public ledger) for bitcoin makes it possible for seasoned investigators to follow the money. Increasingly, cybercriminals choose these new “privacy coins” when they demand ransom payments or engage in sales of illegal goods.”

Coincheck had allowed trading for dash, monero, and zcash when it was targeted in a bombshell hack in January 2018, during which cyber-thieves in NEM.
After the massive hack, Coincheck delisted all three altcoins. Authorities still have not tracked down the thieves, and it’s unclear if they will ever be caught.
Insiders say Japan’s Financial Services Agency considers and particularly problematic because of the anonymity these privacy-centric altcoins offer users. Speculation is mounting that Japan could ban trading of DASH, XMR, and ZEC in the future, although all three are currently allowed.
Regulators around the world are cracking down on the budding crypto ecosystem as bitcoin continues to generate headlines for its erratic price fluctuations and virtual currencies slowly become more mainstream.
New York Attorney General Investigates Crypto Exchanges
In the United States, the New York Attorney General’s Office recently into cryptocurrency exchanges in a bid to promote more transparency and accountability.
As BTCManager has reported, the Attorney General’s Office sent questionnaires to 13 major crypto exchanges requesting information on their operations, internal controls, and safeguards to protect customer assets. The completed surveys are due back by May 1.
“bitcoin, ether, and other virtual currencies have captured the imagination of millions of people worldwide,” the NYAG said. “But virtual currency is also a highly speculative sector. Moreover, published reports indicate the sector has , market manipulators, and thieves.”
The New York AG’s inquiry was launched shortly after Ripple to follow Japan’s lead by implementing regulations to crack down on cryptocurrency fraud.
Chief Scientist: bitcoin Is Not Money-Laundering Magnet
While crypto skeptics often claim that bitcoin and other virtual currencies are go-to vehicles for money-laundering, a new report by Quebec’s Chief Scientist Office insists , as BTCManager has reported.
“Quebec Government Chief Scientist declares that bitcoin is not used for money-laundering unlike cash and has almost no impact on criminal activity,” said Francis Pouliot, the CEO of blockchain startup Catallaxy.
Attorney and cryptocurrency specialist Erwan Jonchères agrees with the assessment of Quebec’s Chief Scientist.
“The anonymity of bitcoin is a myth,” Jonchères said. “There is no more transparent money because you have to go through a platform where you have to give personal information. At the very least, [even if a name is fake] we always know the address of the transmitter and that of the receiver.”
