So this is a fun little bit of news: we’re now officially accepting Bitcoin for TechCrunch Disrupt in New York, which will be held May 5-7, 2014 at the Manhattan Center. We are working with Coinbase to accept the coins and we’ll be accepting the real time exchange value so when you buy, your purchase price is locked in.

If you started mining years ago, this may be your chance to rock out at Disrupt for free. And if you’re one of those paranoid types, this is a great way to hide your tracks until you arrive at the event, at which time you’ll be wearing a name badge anyway, so all bets are off. That said, we hope this helps more people attend Disrupt and we’ll be accepting bitcoin for events for the foreseeable future.

You can buy tickets with Bitcoin right here. See you at Disrupt!
