Zurich June 2021
CoinGeek Zurich was the most ambitious and wide-ranging conference yet in support of the BSV Blockchain. Three days of talks, panel discussions, and networking, in-person and online, allowed participants to learn about ground-breaking projects and technologies and to exchange ideas about the spectacular potential of BSV.
The event was a vivid reflection of the thriving ecosystem in which developers, entrepreneurs, and established businesses are building for the future, taking advantage of BSV’s unique capabilities for fast, inexpensive data storage and monetary exchange.
The participation of representatives of big business signaled BSV’s increasing synergy with established enterprise and financial institutions, symbolized by the conference’s Swiss location and the recent founding of Bitcoin Association’s new headquarters in nearby Zug.
The confidence of the conference organizers in their mission and message was demonstrated by the bold invitation to well-known Bitcoin critics Professor Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Nicholas Taleb to give keynote speeches – followed by a stimulating discussion with the inventor of Bitcoin, Dr. Craig Wright, and others.
The high quality of the slickly-produced event and its lively, informative content was affirmed by the spectacular numbers of viewers it attracted across a wide variety of media.
