More than 600 people registered for the Inside Bitcoins convention, up from a few hundred at the first Bitcoin conference last summer, says Alan Meckler, CEO of MediaBistro, the conference organizer. The number of exhibitors has jumped from three in July to 22 on Wednesday. ‘It’s the closest thing to the beginning of the Internet than I’ve ever seen,’ Meckler says.”
