The crypto community knows El Salvador is one of the early countries to adopt Bitcoin. They hosted a Bitcoin conference in 2022, called “Adopting Bitcoin,” and they will also host one in 2023 on November 7^th. It’s also called “a Lightning Summit in El Salvador,” and will feature tens of speakers.

“Salvadorans went from 70% unbanked to having the option of using Bitcoin as money. This novel situation comes with both, the challenge to onboard users, and the opportunity to learn from them for the benefit of the entire ecosystem” the website states. 

4. Baltic Honey Badger 

Baltic Honey Badger is a Bitcoin-only conference taking place in Riga, Latvia. It had the most prominent speakers and individuals involved in Bitcoin in the past years, including Samson Mow, Jimmy Song, Aleks Svetski etc.
