COINFEST VANCOUVER (www.coinfest.org (http://www.coinfest.org/)) will be hosting an awesome party for those who never got to experience CoinFest 2014. We will start by having dinner at India Gate, the world's first Indian restaurant to accept Bitcoin, a historic landmark in the Vancouver Bitcoin scene. Enjoy great food and drinks without the need for pesky Canadian dollars!

After dinner, we're going to bring back the "Decentralized Doge Party", a twist on the Decentralized Dance Party for fans of cryptocurrency. If you can't imagine what that's like, watch this video- you absolutely won't regret it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUpW18Exw8g

Unfortunately, the City of Vancouver and its liquor inspectors will have a hissy fit if we do it at India Gate again (boo, Central authorities), so at around 8:30, we'll clear out of the restaurant and Party our way to a Top-Secret Party Mansion...!

BACKSTORY:

COINFEST started in 2013 as a relatively small gathering of 100 or so Bitcoiners, celebrating the adoption of Bitcoin at the Waves Coffee House at Smithe and Howe. It was conceived as a way to incentivize cryptocurrency acceptance while educating the public about its importance and use. Its popular success prompted the Bitcoiniacs to place the world’s first Bitcoin ATM there, which we again celebrated.

By 2014, CoinFest was growing in popularity, and that year it took a new direction: CoinFest spread across Canada and now internationally, exemplifying the border-defying and decentralized nature of crypto. Vancouver lead the way again by booking multiple venues simultaneously for a less centrally organized variety of exhibits, as Satoshi would have wanted. In 2015, CoinFest spread worldwide, and new ground was broken in Latin America and Europe. 2016 Takes it to a whole new level!
