- The first part of the conference will see a number of international writers, experts and visionaries gather to speak to a crowd of 800 in Edinburgh
- OKX collaborates with the conference as it seeks to educate and inform about the potential of Bitcoin and its ‘sound money principles’
LONDON, July 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – OKXthe world-leading Bitcoin and cryptocurrency platform, announced today that they are working with The Bitcoin collective to launch UK’s first global Bitcoin conference.
The conference will be held in the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh on 21 and 22 October this year, and aims to educate and inform to help drive a financial and technological revolution across the UK. The conference is built on the results of the grassroots community’s efforts, and has attracted high-profile speakers from around the world, including Jeff Booth, Lawrence Lepard and Natalie Brunell.
Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer, OKX, said: “The UK has a thriving Bitcoin community, and this conference is very well timed for a market building phase. This is a time when we should all come together, share ideas and incubate new products and services to prepare for the next chapter. We are excited to be a leading sponsor of this conference, and to participate in educating and encouraging the next generation of developers and entrepreneurs to come and build in this industry. OKX is looking to create a generation of responsible, well-informed long-term traders, and the fact that The Bitcoin Collective has the same vision is what makes us so excited to be a part of making this conference a reality.
Topics covered at the conference will include the origins of Bitcoin, The Bitcoin Network, blockchain, Bitcoin as good money and the future of Bitcoin. The conference is the first in a series of annual events, and is designed to educate ordinary people about sound money principles and related macroeconomics.
Jordan Walker, CEO of The Bitcoin Collective, said: “Bitcoin is for everyone. I think many people are feeling the effects of rising prices and the cost of living crisis around the world – and especially in the UK – but may not fully understand why this is happening. When fancy words like macroeconomics and solid money are used, things can get confusing. But understanding how money works has never been so important.
“This conference is not about the broader concept of ‘cryptocurrency’, but just about Bitcoin. However, it is not about buying or investing in Bitcoin – it is a completely different discussion. Our focus is on education, so be sure to bring a notebook and pen! Looking over the list of incredible speakers we have put together still makes me uneasy, and I look forward to seeing this community of open-minded people come together later this year! ”
The conference seeks to distinguish between Bitcoin and crypto in order to educate themselves on Bitcoin’s sensible monetary principles. It also aims to capture as many different participants as possible both on and off stage, and Bitcoin Collective Operations Director Lucy-Rose Walker said this is because The Bitcoin Collective believes that “Bitcoin is for everyone, and does not differentiate between the sexes, race or religion. “
OKX, a major global stock exchange, leverages its international network and expert staff to support the grassroots movement of Bitcoin in the UK. As it seems to bring better accessibility and educational resources to a global user base, OKX will continue to empower the international Bitcoin community to deliver responsible trading principles.
Bitcoin Collective founders Jordan Walker, Jim Duffy and Lucy-Rose Walker are the Bitcoin champions behind Bitcoin Collective Podcasts.
