Tremplin.io is lucky enough to attend BTC Prague, the biggest Bitcoin event in Europe. This occasion brings together all Bitcoin enthusiasts but also cryptocurrencies. Follow live all the conferences, the atmosphere, but above all the important announcements throughout the two days.
BTC Prague an event like no other
The first and already largest European Bitcoin conference opened its doors today to the general public after a Thursday dedicated to industry players.
The Czech Republic is in the spotlight thanks to Ledger aside, European historical players are mostly based in Prague. In particular SatoshiLabs, the company that created the very first cold wallet: Trezor.
There is also Braiins, a prestigious company in the Bitcoin mining industry. She is the one behind the first mining pool Slushpool (renamed Braiins).
In all, nearly a hundred Bitcoin-related companies made the trip. Never before has a European conference welcomed so many industry players.
Michael Saylor, a first in Europe
All adjoined to a very large stage where thousands of bitcoiners (10,000?) gathered to listen to Michael Saylor, Adam Back (Blockstream), Saifedean Ammous or Marek Palatinus, the co-founder of SatoshiLabs, the main sponsor of the conference.
Next to “stars”, many developers follow one another today to speak “layer 2”.
- Including Scott Millar from Blockstream to talk about the Liquid Network side chain.
- Core dev Peter Todd came back on stage today to convince us to run our own nodes.
- Lea Ptrasova presented vexl, an application for buying Bitcoin P2P. We needed it badly since the closure of the good old Local Bitcoin.
This conference already looks like a must. In particular because of the impressive number of companies present, but also for the quality of the organization. Catering, rest rooms, relaxation area, terraces, transport, etc.
