• CEO Cory Klippsten emphasizes commitment to core business.
  • Bitcoin price is currently $55,881, with a 16.04% weekly decline.

Swan Bitcoin has announced the cancellation of the highly anticipated Pacific Bitcoin conference scheduled for October. This decision follows a strategic pivot and a recent staff  reduction at the company. The focus now shifts towards bolstering Swan’s core business operations.

The company recently downsized its staff, a move aimed at streamlining operations and refocusing on its primary business objectives. This downsizing has directly impacted the decision to cancel the Pacific Bitcoin conference.

Cory Klippsten , CEO of Swan Bitcoin, took the time to address the cancellation on social media. He expressed the company’s commitment to its core business, stating, “After going through a staff reduction last month, it just doesn’t feel like the right time for a festival.”

Swan Bitcoin has assured all ticket holders that the refund process is already underway. To maintain goodwill and community engagement, the company is offering a complimentary invitation to a smaller, one-day event on October 17. 

It’s worth noting that the Pacific Bitcoin conference has previously hosted some memorable moments. One such instance was the impromptu appearance of a prominent Bitcoin advocate Andreas Antonopoulos who engaged in a spirited debate about the future of digital currencies. These moments have made the conference a beloved event among enthusiasts.
