It’s 11:15 p.m. on a Friday night and a man in a white button-down shirt named Joey just ordered me a shot of Fireball. It’s a little hard to hear him over the music blasting from the other side of the velvet ropes, but the club’s director of services leans in close to make sure I can hear him.
“Excellence and hospitality in the crypto world,” Joey says in response to my request that he describe just what, exactly, is going on here.
I’m sitting on a spacious couch in a private club, inside of another nightclub, inside of a casino, and we’re discussing Las Vegas’s first cryptocurrency nightclub: MORE Las Vegas. Launched in April by Peter Klamka — a man known for, among other things, his involvement with The Legends Room gentlemen’s club which allowed patrons to tip performers in bitcoin — the nightclub comes with all the trappings of a typical VIP Vegas destination.

In May 2017, I’ve called some experts and asked them “Why are Bitcoin and Ethereum growing so fast?” This was after an intense period of growth for both popular cryptocurrencies, especially Ethereum, which was up 1,400% in three months. The market cap of all cryptocurrencies put together at the time seemed unreal: 80 billion dollars. Then — and throughout 2017 — the experts I spoke to invariably advised caution, saying the prices might have risen too high, too fast.
But the prices kept rising.
Throughout 2017, crypto prices continued to rise. At one point the crypto market cap was over $800 billion, and one Bitcoin was worth nearly twenty thousand dollars. Read more…

Sometimes smart contracts can be pretty dumb. All of the benefits of a cryptographically secured, publicly verified, anonymized transaction system can be erased by errant code, malicious actors, or poorly defined parameters of an executable agreement. Hoping to beat back the tide of bad contracts, bad code and bad actors, Sagewise, a new Los Angeles-based startup […]
