BitcoinDay started in 2014
Every year, tens of thousands of people come to Omaha for the Berkshire Hathaway Weekend to hear from their Great Leader. Warren Buffett is very vocal about his disdain for Bitcoin, and as such they don’t get to hear about the greatest money known to man. Bitcoin has ridiculously outperformed Berkshire Hathaway shares over the past decade, and just because Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger missed the boat doesn’t mean their followers should. So we dreamed up a parallel event as an outlet for those curious about Bitcoin.
What is BitcoinDay?
BitcoinDay is a localised, single-day, fast & focused Bitcoin-only gathering that aims to maximize signal and connectivity, and minimize echo and noise. It is designed to facilitate connections between Bitcoin influencers and plebs. We attract high-caliber, expert speakers to spend the day with us and interact with participants both on and off the stage. We work to maintain a local, small gathering environment where everyone has a chance to interact with each other. Our goal is to facitate connections that will last a lifetime and inspire positive action that accelerates the transition to a Bitcoin economy.
Coming to a city near you
It started in Omaha, but we will bring the party to you. Bitcoin is decentralized, and so is BitcoinDay. We partner with Bitcoin groups around the country to amplify the message. If you’re interested in hosting a Bitcoin Day in your city, please contact us - we’d love to talk!
