Crypto Gathering 2022

Thousands of investors, thinkers, and doers joined us at the most electrifying online event in crypto — Real Vision’s Crypto Gathering.

The Crypto Gathering returned for a spectacular third year on March 23—25. We delved deep into the crypto space with dynamite interviews, how-to sessions, panel discussions and much more.

From the already-happening to the maybe-possible. From the heart of Wall Street adoption to the edge of innovation. From NFTs to DeFi to the metaverse to TradFi… and a sh*t ton more besides.

Oh, and for the first time ever… the community decided what the agenda should be for Day 3 and what our rock star speakers should talk about.

“This is the beauty of crypto and the internet. They open so many doors. We just need to help everyone get access and education”

— Denzul W. at Crypto Gathering 2021

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Excellent info, access to the best minds in crypto, and a Masters Degree in crypto in 3 days. Thanks Real Vision and Raoul”

Who was It For?

You. Yep… you. It’s called “Gathering” for a reason – because it unites all the digital assets tribes for 3 days of learning from each other and from our rock star line-up.

At Real Vision we believe that the massive diversity of experiences and opinions in the digital assets space is a strength, not a weakness.

Designed with both crypto novices and experts in mind, Crypto Gathering 2022 is both celebration and workshop.

Crypto-Curious…

At the first Crypto Gathering in 2020, the price of Bitcoin was hovering around the $9,000 mark. Now, it’s more than 4x this price, at one point in time nearly 8x.

So the curious could be forgiven for thinking you’ve “missed” it. But you haven’t… not even close. We’re so early in the evolution of the entire space that if you dive into your learning journey now, you’re still early. We’re still in the discovering the Americas phase. So the best time to start learning about it? Right now…

Into TradFi…

If you’re a macro investor in the traditional finance world, digital assets can seem alien. But Raoul Pal (our Co-Founder and CEO) believes that Bitcoin is literally the most powerful macro bet right now — and that macro drives crypto.

Plus, even though the space is still only a little over a decade old, it has matured. And traditional finance tools like options, ETFs and more are being applied to the digital assets space all the time…

A Digital Assets Aficionado

We know the type. You think the digital assets world provides a real life raft to the existing broken financial system… you know there will be successes and failures along the way, but you see the big picture as the entire digital value system being created in front of your eyes.

You’re in, in other words…

“If you’re into crypto and how the space might develop you have to be listening to the amazing Crypto Gathering happening now on Real Vision. It’s like a window into institutional thinking on crypto, the economy, and how this might all play out…”
Emma T
“Take a bow Raoul and Team Real Vision. What an extraordinary Crypto Gathering, felt like a fanboy at a comic con. This has been by far the most edutaining conference I’ve attended, virtual or otherwise.”
Bhavya V.
“Thanks for doing this. It’s definitely one of the best crypto / macro events / gathering / collective of speakers and ideas I have ever attended. Fantabulous...”
Manish G.
“What you guys are accomplishing today is incredible. So efficient and enjoyable, and you’ll have archives for what we miss unlike a real conference.”
RP
"Real Vision, Raoul, I’m supposed to be working but I spent the entire day listening in to this amazing set of speakers… Bravo to you sirs"
Christian
"Congratulations Real Vision!! This was an absolutely and incredibly mind-blowing last few days... really exciting and inspiring"
Benjamin E.
"Thank you for bring such OUTSTANDING high quality content. God bless you and your loved ones."
Alex M.
"How about this Crypto Gathering?! Awesome. Gonna be watching these again and the ones I missed for a while."

"Thank you to everyone who made this an unbelievable event. More knowledge share than anywhere else on the planet (or the metaverse."
Kevin H.
"Thank you Real Vision. You provide more value for money than my psychiatrist."
Alexandros A.
"Cheers!! I am certainly more knowledgeable and informed after this. If nothing else, I realize that we are still in the early stages."

About the Crypto Gathering

In June 2020, Real Vision dreamed up and put on a two-day online event: The Crypto Gathering.

It took us just 15 days to put together – the result?

More than 8,500 people joined us to learn from rock stars like Niall Ferguson, PlanB, Marty Bent, and Caitlin Long…

Close to 2,000 people joined the conversation in Slack…

And its success led to the birth of the Real Vision Crypto channel, the world’s premier cryptocurrency and digital assets video channel.

In 2021, The Crypto Gathering was back. Bigger, better, and bolder than ever, with more than 12,000 people gathering.

“I’m already excited for Crypto Gathering 2022 and it’s not even over.”

— Nathan at Crypto Gathering 2021
