The answer to the titled question above is: “Why yes, yes you can.”
The best evidence for that is a process we set up to register for our launch event on May 11th in New York City. No credit cards or cash are accepted to buy a ticket. It’s crypto-only. What kind? It’s your choice. For eth fans with MetaMask, registering can be accomplished in literally 20 seconds.
Name -> email -> Metamask confirmed -> Click -> done.
If you’re a coinbase user, well it’s just as easy because there’s a coinbase-native checkout process. Using something else? We’ll probably accept it. If you’re able to transmit crypto, we want you at deCashed on May 11th at The Refinery Rooftop!
Into crypto? Join deCashed’s first in-person event at The Refinery Rooftop on May 11th in New York City from 6 – 9pm. Brought to you by the same team behind deBanked, attendees will be able to connect with the crypto community for our three-hour open-bar debut.
deCashed requires a baseline of crypto knowledge to enter. The registration fee can only be paid in crypto (you choose which kind) for a dollar-equivalent price of $25. Memecoins and NFTs can be accepted. NO CASH or CREDIT CARDS.
We’re the same team behind deBanked, one of the oldest non-bank finance media companies in the US. deBanked inked an advertising contract in January 2015 that was priced strictly in bitcoin, making it one of the first firms to ever ink a crypto deal that had no peg to the US dollar.
deBanked also put its own smart contract on the ethereum blockchain in 2021, giving it the ability to mint ERC-721 NFTs. It debuted its own just-for-fun NFT collection in October, viewable on OpenSea.
The deBanked team has put on twelve events since 2017: in New York, Miami, San Diego, and Toronto.
deCashed founder Sean Murray first turned his laptop into a node on the bitcoin network in 2014. Having enjoyed the olden days of mining with a USB stick and in-person crypto trading at the original Bitcoin Center on Broad Street in NYC, Murray saw the potential use case for non-bank payments.
Murray was also in the top 5% of contributors to the ConstitutionDAO, the Decentralized Autonomous Organization that made headlines for raising $43 million to try and buy a copy of the United States Constitution at Sotheby’s. Murray’s participation was noted in The New Yorker magazine on account of his having gone to Sotheby’s dressed as George Washington on the day of the auction.
Murray is also among the many speakers chosen to present at NFT NYC in June.
One thing that has remained consistent in Murray’s crypto journey is his lack of interest in whether or not the value of the coins go up or down. “The price has never mattered to me,” he says. “The ability to operate and move money completely independent of the banking system is what makes crypto so powerful. It’s about being de-banked and de-cashed and still being able to carry on business.”

Despite losing one of their most noteworthy speakers in the departure of El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele, Bitcoin Magazine’s largest event of the year has compensated with a star-studded lineup of speakers and panels that have been able to set the tone on the makeup of the types of influential figures that have thoughts on digital assets.
David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc welcomed old and new faces alike to kick off the event, making mention of what he perceived as some of the newest groups of attendees at the conference. In his opening remarks, Bailey gave personal welcomes to the IRS, DOJ, and Department of Homeland security.
“Welcome to the biggest financial freedom conference in the world,” Bailey told the crowd.
Companies making note in the opening days of the event were Cashapp, who announced they want to “redefine” consumer relationships with Bitcoin. Their Crypto Product Lead Miles Suter spoke to attendees about how access to digital assets can help individuals who are facing existential, political, or regional crisis achieve personal and financial freedom.
“I’ve always dreamed of Bitcoin taking off with those that need it the most,” said Suter. “Those that have traditionally been left out, who have to flee war, or authoritarian states, or suffer from raging inflation.”
I saw the power that Bitcoin was having on local communities,” he continued. “I also got to observe the challenges that come with introducing bitcoin to a country where 70% is unbanked.”
Michael Saylor, the tech phenomenon who has made a name for himself among Bitcoin connoisseurs was said to draw approximately 40,000 people to hear him speak. He told the crowd that people were “dancing on my grave” when Bitcoin fell from its highest point. He even told the crowd that there was a point in time he thought he would be removed from his company.
Other speakers at the event include professional athletes Serena Williams, Odell Beckham Jr, and Strike CEO Jack Mallers. Robinhood has an announcement planned for Thursday afternoon announcement prior to a keynote speech by Peter Thiel.
