Adopting Bitcoin 2023 begins tomorrow in El Salvador

This week takes place the event that brings together hundreds of bitcoiners from around the world.

From November 7 to 9, El Salvador will host for the third consecutive year Adopting Bitcoin, a space that promotes knowledge about the digital asset ecosystem and seeks to publicize the country as an ideal place to invest.

Galoy and Bitfinex, the bitcoin companies that organize the event and have a presence in El Salvador, announced the initiative at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, now Hilton.

“El Salvador is the first country to adopt Bitcoin, becoming ground zero for global adoption. This new situation presents a challenge for current users and an opportunity to learn from them, benefiting the entire ecosystem, from application and protocol developers to entrepreneurs, investors, and the many communities around the world that follow the Bitcoin Beach example of establishing a Bitcoin circular economy,” the firms said in a statement.

This year, bitcoin mining projects such as Volcano Energy, as well as educational initiatives such as My First Bitcoin, CUBO+, and Torogoz Dev are expected to be featured.

Speakers include blockchain developers such as Peter Todd and industry entrepreneurs such as Max Keiser, Mark Stevenson, and Mike Peterson, among others.

Past experiences

Last year, more than 1,000 renowned speakers, foreign investors, and tourists interested in Bitcoin participated in Adopting Bitcoin, an edition in which topics such as the execution of identity protocols, custodians, and speed of transactions on the blockchain were developed.

Noor El Bawab, co-organizer of the initiative, explained on that occasion that the project responds to the impact that the adoption of Bitcoin has had in El Salvador and around the world, as more and more people have access to cryptocurrencies.

“Education is a fundamental part of the adoption process. That is why events such as Adopting Bitcoin aim to teach the full potential behind this technology,” he said.
