2nd Dakar Bitcoin Days 2023 | Dakar Bitcoin Days | 30 November 2023 | TBA, Dakar, Senegal

International in scope, aimed at public, private, academic actors, and the local and sub-regional population. For this 2nd edition, we will discuss the various innovations that have developed on and around Bitcoin, but above all, how Bitcoin can help Senegalese SMEs to export. Anyone who talks about Bitcoin will inevitably discuss its genesis and the long list of attempts to create decentralized digital currencies. But also, it is a question of approaching the particular philosophy of the cypherpunks, pioneers and pillars, at the origin of most of the innovations which led to Bitcoin. Participants will be able to situate Bitcoin in the context of the emergence of the internet in the 80s and the financial crisis of the 2000s.
