The event will feature dozens of one-of-a-kind BTC activations and the chance to celebrate the world’s best technology and innovative projects poised to revolutionize.
While 2020 was the year of DeFi, 2021 was the year NFTs captured mass fascination. Interest from respected thought leaders, athletes, influencers, and celebrities has resulted in the NFT space booming with new innovative ideas and investment. Justin has been an avid proponent of NFTs since the very beginning and has used his platform to further educate and transform the NFT economy and its use cases.

Recently Justin donated his entire collection of art including “OCEAN FRONT” by Beeple, Picasso’s “Femme nue couchée au collier”, Andy Warhol’s “Three self-portraits” and most recently a full collection of works by the renowned artist Pak; to the APENFT project as he was impressed by the team and their vision to be the ARK Funds in the NFT space. The APENFT team successfully launched their first native token $NFT on the new and improved Huobi Prime as well as on Poloniex LaunchBase 2
“Bitcoin epitomizes everything that cryptocurrency innovation stands for, and will continue to stay in the forefront of our industry as we enter mass adoption,” said Justin Sun. “It is exciting to see large-scale NFT use cases such as the Golden Whale Pass and I am excited to be a part of this legacy. Congratulations to The Bitcoin Conference team and the NFT Glee team, I plan on donating this NFT to the APENFT project and look forward to using my pass well into the future.”
