so why the hell is adam back attending and noted as the main guy... oh wait..
i forgot,
adam back wants to direct the direction bitcoin takes because he needs to commercialise it to make returns of ......

all fully paid for by blockstream.

rant over

Adam is one of 100 participants-- he is listed prominent because he is well known and well respected, is one of only a few people who's work is referenced in the Satoshi Whitepaper and his company is important to Bitcoin because it has solid relations to Bitcoin core dev (including employing more devs than anyone else)

No...blockstream is not paying for the event in any way

Who would you suggest for the list?

maybe 100 people who actually are involved with BITCOIN and not just the outside corporate / investor backers that want to commercialise it at the expense of removing the whole point of bitcoins ethos when initially invented.

it makes me laugh you wish to call it a SATOSHI roundtable.. as thats the main gripe/slap in the face of the dressing the wolf in sheeps clothing.
just call it commercialising bitcoin roundtable.. atleast reveal the objective and be transparent

because from what i can see about the 100 people.. where 80-90 attendee's are in one sides pockets.. = biased conversation ending in on side solutions
