As Public Interest Soars, Crypto Conferences Are Growing Rapidly Across The Globe

Interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is surging across the globe, and nowhere is it more evident than in the increasing number of conferences and professional gatherings of crypto enthusiasts. In Bitcoin’s early days, advocates often met informally, with meetings being more social than professional in nature. Today, blockchain conferences have become major events, with attendees and participants from all sectors of the business, technology, and political spheres.
The first Bitcoin conference took place at New York’s Roosevelt Hotel in August, 2011. Most of the roughly fifty attendees already knew each other, and they included miners, developers, and traders. Also present was a representative from Mt. Gox as well as a few hardware vendors. The highlight of the event was a group dinner than involved convincing a restaurant manager to accept Bitcoin as payment for the meal.
