About Bitcoin 2014
The conference is a follow-up to last year's inaugural Bitcoin 2013 in San Jose, California.
The Foundation has been seeking to expand its international scope, and hosting a European conference is just one of the steps it has taken. Late last year, it accepted two international affiliates when both Bitcoin Foundation Canada and the Bitcoin Association of Australia were added as chapters through its International Affiliate Program.
Last year's San Jose conference attracted over 1,200 attendees and featured bitcoin investors Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss as keynote speakers.
Registration is still open at bitcoin2014.com and costs €395 – the equivalent in bitcoin will also be accepted. Readers can get 10% off registration using the promo code BITCOIN2014.
