Fifty of the world's most prominent Bitcoin chieftains are set to gather in secret at an undisclosed Caribbean resort in a roundtable gathering that some are already comparing to The Bilderberg Group meetings.

Coindesk has the story, noting that the gathering, dubbed the Satoshi Roundtable, will take place this weekend and is a closed door confab for "bitcoin CEOs and luminaries". Members of the Press and the public will not be invited.

"Organized by Bruce Fenton of the Bitcoin Association and Atlantic Financial, participants in the first annual Satoshi Roundtable include top executives from companies such as Blockchain, BitGo, BitPesa, Chain, ChangeTip, Coinapult and MegaBigPower, as well as noted VCs in the space such as Erik Voorhees and Roger Ver." the report reads.

An official website for the gathering verifies the secrecy of the meeting, noting "Even if you are a great person with many accomplishments in bitcoin and lots of passion we just won't likely be able to invite you."

Mr Fenton told Coindesk that the group does not wish to act too secretly, but that the meeting has been organized to ensure "the right balance of transparency and privacy."
