Day
two
of
Consensus
2024
is
done,
but
you’re
not
looking
to
call
it
quits
just
yet.
And
why
would
you?
The
biggest
crypto
conference
of
the
year
plays
host
to
a
number
of
fun,
informative
and
professional
side
events
every
year.
Here’s
a
few
options
for
those
looking
to
make
the
most
of
Austin’s
famous
nightlife
at
Consensus
on
May
30.
Grab
your
tickets
to
Consensus
2024,
hosted
in
Austin,
Texas
from
May
29-31.
It’s
five
o’clock
in
Austin,
so
you
know
what
that
means:
an
open
bar
on
Rainey
Street
hosted
by
crypto
industry
defenders
the
Digital
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
Texas
Blockchain
Council.
The
event
will
run
from
5
p.m.
–
7
p.m.,
so
swing
by
–
it’s
just
a
short
walk
over
from
the
Austin
Convention
Center.
For
those
who
can’t
talk
enough
politics,
early
bitcoin
investor
and
market
commentator
Bruce
W.
Porter
is
hosting
another
one
of
his
“Washington
Elite”
Galas,
from
5:30
p.m.
to
midnight.
While
John
Deaton,
who
is
running
to
replace
Elizabeth
Warren
in
the
U.S.
Senate,
is
hosting
a
fundraiser
at
the
Hilton
Austin
(Meeting
Room
406).
Although
tickets
start
at
$100,
crypto
luminaries
Anthony
Scaramucci,
Wendy
O,
The
Wolf
of
All
Streets,
among
others,
are
hosting
the
event.
Perhaps
the
most
anticipated
after
hours
event
is
the
scheduled
boxing
match
between
Bankless
co-founder
David
Hoffman
and
Castle
Island
Venture
partner
Nic
Carter,
at
the
Austin
Convention
Center.
While
Crypto
Twitter
eagerly
awaits
the
fight
between
the
two
avatars
of
Bitcoin
and
Ethereum,
Carter
and
Hoffman’s
fight
is
actually
part
of
a
larger
series
called
Karate
Combat,
which
will
feature
a
number
of
martial
arts
including
IFC,
Karate
and
grappling.
Tickets
are
limited,
doors
open
at
5
p.m.
After
that,
anyone
in
need
of
some
intellectual
stimulation
should
check
out
the
“Read,
Write,
Own”
VIP
Networking
Party,
hosted
by
ARSENAL.
The
first
50
guests
will
get
a
free
copy
of
the
recently
published
book
of
the
same
name,
written
by
a16z’s
Chris
Dixon,
who
is
not
a
confirmed
guest.
Looking
for
food
options?
Consider
the
“DeFi
Happy
Hour
+
BBQ
Party”
at
Cooper’s
Old
Time
BBQ,
hosted
by
the
good
folks
from
Halborn,
Core,
SphereX,
Flipside
&
Conflux.
Or
for
something
a
little
more
formal,
you
can
apply
to
attend
the
invite-only
3MO
Dinner,
at
the
lovely,
contemporary
Mexican
haunt
Suerte
in
East
Austin.
Then
for
some
truly
late
night
fun,
get
your
disco
on
at
hypercool
media
brand
Boys
Club’s
second
annual
“Hoedown,”
co-hosted
by
dYdX
&
Everest
Ventures
Group.
Cowboy/girl
getup
is
strongly
encouraged.
Finally,
another
event
designed
for
degens:
“THE
MEMECOIN
PARTY,”
hosted
by
the
folks
behind
the
$RFKJ
token,
an
hommage
to
the
pro-crypto
presidential
candidate
Robert
F.
Kennedy
Jr.
(who
will
be
speaking
at
Consensus
this
year).
