Adopting Bitcoin 2025 | 5 Strand St, Cape Town City Centre, Cape Town, 8000, South Africa

Über Adopting Bitcoin 2025

The boots-on-the-ground Bitcoin conference for real-world adoption in Southern Africa.

The steady decline of the South African state over decades has prompted the emergence of parallel institutions and community organisations working to fill the vacuum of power and address the failure of crucial infrastructure, coupled with one of the highest Bitcoin adoption rates globally.

If you’re curious to learn how Bitcoin fits into the process of reshaping the financial system of a country and uplifting communities where centralised state power structures have failed, then this is a conference you’ll not want to miss.
