… as did Giorgio
UPDATE:

Right, so far against all the odds, the first person to reach the Bella Centre is Ash Cooper (!) using only gold. That’s right, gold. In order to come first, he now just has to not forfeit to win!

Ali has arrived second at the Bella Centre after a wobbly start, managed to make it in £30 instillments.
Kevin is currently in Paris, after checking out the JCB Plaza

I am pleased to announce that we will be speaking on the first day of Money 2020 Europe
Our presentation is more of an experiment…
On the Friday before the event, we have a group of ‘Vloggers’ leaving Trafalgar Square to head to Copenhagen… but there’s a catch. Each ‘Vlogger’ is only allowed to use one form of payment method!
Racer 02: Mr Cooper & Goldmoney
Racer 03: Jordan “Dusty” Drew & Saxo Payments
Racer 04: Stuart Thomas & ATMIA
Racer 05: Giorgio Zinetti & Spire Payments
Racer 06: Ali Paterson & TAS Group
Racer 07: Dave Erasmus & Coin Corner
Racer 08: Misha Jessel-Kenyon & AEVI
Their payment options include Chip and Pin, Mag strip, Bitcoin, Mobile Payments, Pennies (!) only, Gold Bullion, Cheques and potentially more!
The entire “race” will be documented on camera, leading up to Money 2020 Europe, with each person armed with a “Vlog Camera” and a limited budget in their chosen category.
For the presentation, we will have the ”contestants” come on stage to talk about the limitations and positives they faced using only one type of payment. We will then have a video link up with those contestants who were unable to make it to the Bella Centre.
