Coinfest Special: Blockhead Goes to Bali (Again) | Blockcast 38

Ready to bask in the SOL, it's that time of the year for the Blockhead team to put on their shades, sunscreen, and slides. Returning to Bali for the third year in a row, the Blockhead team headed down to Coinfest to see what the industry's most exciting/chill conference had to offer this year.
With a swathe of institutional money flooding into crypto in 2024, the Blockhead team feared this year's Coinfest might be drier than the conference's notorious degen-fuelled antics but we needn't have feared.
To get the lowdown on what the attendees were up to this year, Blockhead interviewed a range of Coinfest-goers on scene to find out exactly what they were up to (other than partying).
We heard from:

• Bitget's Christopher Rodil and Punnara Akamatsu who explained why the firm was sporting a human-sized cardboard cutout of Lionel Messi at their booth
  

• TRIVE General Partner, Daryl Lim, who detailed why he's leaving his Metapal Teletubbies behind and venturing into Venture Capital
  
• ZKEX Founder Balal Khan, who was just happy to be back in Coinfest with the Blockhead boys

- Ripple's Senior Director, Ross Edwards, who revealed that it was his first time not only at Coinfest but also Bali
