“I Think It’s Limitless”: MORTEN On the Volcanic Potential of the Future Rave Movement
From the underground to the Ultra mainstage, the future rave genre is sinking its teeth into the electronic music zeitgeist. We recently sat down with MORTEN in Miami, where the Danish dance music star and future rave flag-bearer opened up in an intimate interview before appearing onstage at Ultra Music Festival with his parter-in-crime, David Guetta. In many ways, future rave is emblematic of the euphoric ethos of the return of electronic music in Miami after a brutal pandemic. Bridging the gap between dark techno and soaring progressive house music, the genre has inspired a post-electro wave of hungry music producers. “I think it’s limitless,” MORTEN said when we asked how big the future rave movement could become.

Madeira ‘embraces’ Bitcoin, and how its president met Michael Saylor
The tiny Portuguese archipelago of Madeira has “adopted” Bitcoin (BTC) — but what does that mean? The announcement, made during the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, has spurned confusion and misinformation. Miguel Albuquerque, the president of the Regional Government of Madeira, hopped on the stage in April to announce: “I believe in the future, and I believe in Bitcoin.” He also said he would work to “create in Madeira a fantastic environment for Bitcoin.” However, the details remained unclear. Cointelegraph spoke to André Loja, a Madeiran entrepreneur who spearheaded the plan to bring BTC to the archipelago in the Atlantic ocean, to find out how Bitcoin is shaping the islands’ development. Madeira exploded onto the Bitcoin world map on April 7 when JAN3 CEO Samson Mow proudly ...
Five Unforgettable Moments From Red Bull Guest House During Miami Grand Prix Weekend
There’s more to Red Bull than the caffeine boost. It’s no secret that the prolific energy drink brand has successfully parlayed its consumer appeal into a thriving lifestyle brand making its name synonymous with discovering the many thrills life has to offer. There’s arguably no better testament to the success of the company’s ventures off the shelf than Red Bull Racing, an effort that has the brand perennially on the minds of the sport’s exponentially growing fan base of 430 million and counting. Another experience that we suspect will grow to become inextricably intertwined with Red Bull Racing over time is Red Bull Guest House. Historically, Red Bull Guest House, a curated, invite-only showcase experience, and Red Bull’s efforts on the racetrack have remained distinctl...
Ultra Music Festival Will Stay in Miami’s Bayfront Park Through 2027
There’s no place like home for Ultra Music Festival. On Thursday (May 12), the dance fest announced that it will stay at Miami’s Bayfront Park through at least 2027, following the City of Miami Commission unanimously passing an agreement between the festival and the Bayfront Park Management Trust. This Trust manages the 32-acre park, which is located in the heart of downtown Miami on Biscayne Bay. The longstanding music festival has happened at Bayfront Park for much of its 23-year history, returning to the site this past March after a much-maligned outing at Miami’s Virginia Key in 2019 and two years off due to the pandemic. The 2019 edition of the festival in Virginia Key experienced myriad noise complaints and major transportation issues, including — as Billboard reported in 2019 — “ten...

Takeaways and reviews, what went down during Miami Tech Week
Miami Tech Week took place last week in the South Florida city as part of April’s Tech Month programming, which also included NFT Miami and the Bitcoin 2022 conference earlier in the month. Tech Week kicked off with the eMerge Americas conference and the myriad of panel discussions scheduled throughout the city that followed. Cointelegraph gathered some key insights from thought leaders who participated, and the two main themes are Miami as a hot spot for crypto folks, and crypto as a disruptor of the investment landscape. eMerge Americas is a venture-backed organization with a mission to position Miami as the tech hub of North and South America. Its signature event since 2014 has been the annual tech conference, which features a startup pitch competition. After a two-year hiatu...
Crypto Biz: An eye-opening chat with Mr. Wonderful, April 7–13, 2022
The past seven days have reminded me of how lucky I am to have forged a career in the Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency industry. Cointelegraph sent a contingency of reporters to the Bitcoin conference in Miami, where we got to chop it up with billionaires, business leaders and hedge fund managers. I had the privilege of sitting down with Canadian businessman and Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary, who actually revealed most of his crypto portfolio. I also got to interview Bloomberg’s senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone, who shed light on crypto market volatility, as well as Mark Yusko of Morgan Creek Capital. Yusko and I laughed at traditional 60/40 portfolio strategies, and I got to ask him a curious question: Who in their right mind is buying bonds today? This week’s Crypto Biz giv...

As an early Bitcoin (BTC) adopter, since its $200 days, Salinas has experienced first-hand the highs and lows of the market, and learned a thing or two along the way.

Non-Fungible Nightlife: E11EVEN’s Bitcoin Conference 2022 Events Fuel Miami’s Crypto Crusade
In the quest to become the nation’s crypto capital, the city of Miami has pulled ahead—and E11EVEN is one of the keys. The $40 million Ultraclub has torn hell for leather into the DeFi movement, adopting cryptocurrency at a dizzying pace as Miami officials work to incorporate it into the city’s infrastructure. And during a time when Mayor Francis Suarez is hellbent on building “crypto’s version of Silicon Valley,” it seems E11EVEN is angling to be the vanguard of the city’s glitzy foray into the intersection of entertainment and blockchain tech. Since E11EVEN’s groundbreaking move to become the country’s first nightlife establishment to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment, they have since processed over $5 million of it at the venue, accordin...
