The main goal of the summit is to improve quality and innovations on the market of digital currencies. And despite of the fact that this year speakers are really respected and interesting, the most exciting part is The Startup Showcase, where 10 hand-picked startups will be presented in front of the entire CoinSummit audience. It is a great chance for entrepreneurs to promote their startups.
What concerns speakers, CoinSummit is proud to have Marc Andreessen of Andreessen-Horowitz as the keynote speaker.

His portfolio includes participation in such projects as Airbnb, Actifio, Box, Fab.com, Facebook, Foursquare, GitHub, Jawbone, Lytro, Pinterest, Silver Tail Systems and Twitter.
Chamath Palihapitiya is going to be a speaker as well, he is famous for being one of the largest individual bitcoin investors and being the Founder and Managing Partner of The Social+Capital Partnership (Social Capital) – a venture capital fund based in Palo Alto. Palihapitiya is one of the most credible investors, who advocates for bitcoin in recent time.
It also was announced that Jackson Palmer, the co-founder of Dogecoin, will show up with his first public speaking appearance at the conference, which is pretty exciting.
Among speakers there is lots of personalities worth listening, including Chris Larsen, Nejc Kodric, Ben Davenport, Vitalik Buterin, Patrick Murck, Ribbit Capital’s Micky Malka and Nick Shalek, Naval Ravikant, Roger Ver, Nicolas Cary, Jeremy Liew and several other representatives if the investment community and heavy hitters from Silicon Valley.
