Some people daydream of sandy beaches and cold cocktails. Others calculate how much time a $100 increase in ETH’s price will buy them. Hodlercon asks, Why not both? In November 2024 Ethereum aficionados will convene in Phuket, Thailand, to unwind with a decentralized vacation. Right on the heels of Devcon 7 in Bangkok, it’ll be a laidback family event with informal discussion and a priority on enjoying ourselves. The first Hodlercon, Hawaii 2022, grew out of a need for hope in the depths of the 2019/2020 bear market. A cadre of redditors in r/ethfinance swore they’d meet on the beaches of Hawaii if ETH’s price recovered to its previous all time high. It did, all the way to $4,850, and the following June a bunch of awesome people from around the world had a blast singing karaoke despite ETH’s price simultaneously tanking below $1,000 for the last* time. No one knows where the price will be in November, but the spirits at Hodlercon will be high. Everyone is welcome to join. Bring your family. Find details at hodlercon.com.
