CryptoTicker was one of this year’s events’ media partners and were present aboard the ship to report live updates as they happened. Roger Ver, Bitcoin Cash evangelist, and the well-known Bitcoin writer Jimmy Song of ‘OffChain’ had held a series of public debates about Bitcoin Cash earlier this year. They gave outstanding talks highlighting their opinions on Bitcoin Cash, a hard fork from the world’s most well-known cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. The name has inspired hope, fear, and criticism alike with its dramatic rises and falls in profitability in the last year.

John McAfee is well-known in the cryptocurrency market for his contributions to various projects, stellar predictions on various cryptocurrencies, as well as his exhorbitant charge for token promotions. He was recently appointed as the Chief Operating Officer (CEO) of Luxcore (LUX). He said about release that, “I agree to be the new CEO of Luxcore. They have worked extraordinarily hard behind the scenes. Soon, we will announce the latest blockchain features that we have all been waiting for. Still, I will lead McAfee on its discovery journey.”

Incredible feedback from attendees

The entire cruise vessel was reserved for the CoinsBank Blockchain Cruise members and consisted of restaurants, open mic stages, conference halls, party floors, glamorous outdoor decks, and viewing areas. Attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and media partners were able to have 4 non-stop days of learning, networking, and meeting like-minded individuals in a wonderful setting, truly masked from the outside world. The response of various attendees has been stellar and CoinsBank will be organizing more such cruises in the near future following its past successes.
