CoinFest Speaker, Andrew Wagner

Our First Blockchain Hangout features guest speaker, Andrew Wagner from CoinFest – The decentralized convention for decentralized currency.

It’s 30 minutes and very inspiring! Started in 2013, CoinFest is the annual event equivalent to open source technology: the concept and name lie in the open domain, and anyone is welcome to start a CoinFest of their own so long as they adhere to the Spirit of CoinFest. All you have to do is have an appropriate event around the same time as the rest of us for Coinfest 2018!

The Art Party was a co-producer at CoinFest 2014, a fun event where the Bitcoin community gathers to demonstrate how cryptocurrency works. Here you can practice and learn about the revolutionary technology and concept behind new digital money. It’s also the perfect place for Bitcoin afficionados. Each venue will have its own activities and themes; they will all be within close walking distance, or access to Bitcoin-themed transportation will be provided.

First Blockchain Hangout — Railtown, Vancouver

The Art Party’s inaugural Blockchain Hangout kicked off at the CoinPayments headquarters, tucked in the heart of Railtown, Vancouver, a vibrant neighborhood where converted heritage warehouses now house innovators, artists, and forward-thinking startups. Our spacious co-working venue featured a large media screen, a salt flotation tank for tech chill-outs, and plenty of room for creativity to flow.

Guests enjoyed complimentary light catering, sipped on a beer bought with Bitcoin, and mingled with fellow crypto enthusiasts as we explored the future of decentralized technology together. The event offered an open mic for conversation around cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and the early days of Web3 culture.

Proudly sponsored by CoinPayments, a pioneering integrated crypto payment gateway that supports over 70 altcoins with fees as low as 0.50%, making Bitcoin commerce accessible to creators and merchants worldwide.

About CoinPayments

CoinPayments was one of the earliest payment processors to support a wide range of cryptocurrencies, helping onboard merchants and creators to decentralized commerce well before it became mainstream. Back in 2014, CoinPayments sponsored The Art Party’s first-ever blockchain hangout — a visionary gathering that fused crypto-curious creatives with digital pioneers. This grassroots event marked the beginning of The Art Party’s journey into Web3, providing an inclusive space where artists, musicians, and technologists could connect over Bitcoin and blockchain ideas before NFTs were even a thing. Their support helped catalyze a cultural movement that continues today.
