Started on August 25, the 2019 edition will last until September 2, in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, a temporary city approximately 100 miles (160 km) north-northeast of Reno, with this offer:
Burning Man is not a festival! It’s a city wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citizens, who are active participants in the experience.
According to Jeremy Gardner, a cryptocurrency businessman, blockchain first started as a social movement, and then entered the world of business and financing. Considering this, it is no surprise that events like Burning Man attract so many visitors, as not only enthusiasts but also blockchain experts in the field come to the gatherings and presentations.
Some of the biggest names in the crypto industry attend the festival every year. Some of them include Brock Pierce, co-founder of Block.One and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
Burning Man keeps up with the trends
Burning Man has become almost synonymous with blockchain technology, and this is not surprising. There has been a worldwide hype when it comes to blockchain and cryptocurrency, and Burning Man is keeping up with the trends.
Blockchain technology is entering a number of industries and has proven to be a solution to a multitude of administrative problems. Not only that, but higher education institutions all over the world have started offering courses on blockchain and cryptocurrency.
It is no surprise that blockchain is entering education as well, considering the rising need for educated and trained professionals in the field. The demand for blockchain experts has been increasing tremendously over the past several years.
Burning Man is a materialization of that trend, as more and more crypto and blockchain enthusiasts decide to attend the festival.
In case you did not know…
The term “burn” refers to a very special type of gathering that happens around the world, based on the principles of the infamous Burning Man.
Tech titan and billionaire Elon Musk had said of Burning Man: “If you haven’t been, you just don’t get it.”
The vision occurred to two friends in 1986, Larry Harvey and Jerry James who were said to have built and burned a human effigy on a beach in San Francisco. A crowd promptly formed and shared the experience. Thus, from that “tribal bonding”, Burning Man was born.
