Bitcoin conference is the world's largest Bitcoin event and the week is usually full of excitement among bitcoin enthusiasts since it often brings together the most important players working in the industry for discussions surrounding reflections from the past and ideas for the future. The conference has also marked important announcements in the past like Nayib Bukele announcing that he is sending a bill to the El Salvadorian Congress that would make bitcoin legal tender in the state, Jack Dorsey announcing Lightning integration in Cash App, and um.. alright there's not much and I might've hyped it up like they do.
They do get big names to talk about bitcoin nevertheless that's enough to generate dozens of news items that create buzz in this week and the days after. The week of bitcoin conference has also marked bullish price action in its recent history. It could've been a coincidence, but the week of the conference in 2021 marked the local bottom around 30k and we started our second run up to the 69k mark.
The speaker list for this year's conference includes Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy (both are US Presidential candidates), Tulsi Gabbard (former US Presidential candidate), Patrick Henry (Congressmen and Chairman of the Financial Services Committee who grilled Gensler real good), Cynthia Lummis (Senator), Adam Back (inventor of Hashcash), Jack Mallers (CEO @ Strike), Elizabeth Stark (CEO @ Lightning Labs) and Michael Saylor (obviously) among many others. The Bitcoin Week is flagged off today (Sunday, 14 May) with a Bitcoin Brunch in Miami which is a local meetup for bitcoiners and here's a page that details all the events of the week.
