Bitcoin Brazil Conferences Aim at Further Adoption <\/span><\/h2>\n

The first Brazilian Bitcoin conference “I BitConf” took place in Florianópolis. The event was very successful at bringing people together from many Brazilian states and Argentina<\/a>. BitConf was an initiative started by the Brazilian Facebook community and other Bitcoin-related group pages. <\/span><\/p>\n

The conference had many discussions concerning the importance of Bitcoin and economics. One speaker, Fernando Ulrich, a <\/span>Mises Brazil<\/span><\/a> Institute advisor and InfoMoney columnist, discussed the many benefits of Bitcoin within the Latin American economy<\/a>. Throughout the event, many debate sessions discussed the decentralized money and blockchain landscape. Another discussion involved the Vice-President of the Bitcoin Foundation of Argentina, Rodolfo Andragnes and Bernardo Quintão, founder of Grow Investimentos, who participated in a roundtable conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the first conference, organizers have held two more events with each growing bigger. The conferences have been focused on the surrounding cryptocurrency<\/a> landscape in mainly Argentina and Brazil. However they also covered expansion in other countries, such as the US, China and Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin Is Growing Popular Across Latin America  <\/span><\/h2>\n

Bitcoin’s benefits are becoming well-known in Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela<\/a>, and across the Latin American region. Many countries in Latin America are suffering from a deep recession and steadily-increasing inflation. In particular, Venezuela’s inflation rate reached <\/span>720%<\/span><\/a> over the course of the year with similar conditions taking place in neighboring countries. Quite a few citizens from these regions now want to take part in the decentralized Bitcoin economy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many believe Latin American countries like Brazil<\/a> and Argentina are fertile ground for bitcoin adoption. Currently, both these countries have seen an exponential rise in bitcoin usage, according to <\/span>local bitcoins volumes<\/span><\/a>. By the end of 2015, Bitpay had seen significant growth across Latin America with transactions up over 1747%. “Latin America is proving to be an incredibly favorable environment for Bitcoin. A high proportion of the population has little or no access to traditional financial services,” <\/span>said Bitpay<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fourth annual Bitcoin conference in Belo Horizonte Brazil aims to continue to curate this popularity. Tickets to the event are available here<\/strong><\/em><\/a> along with accommodations around the area. <\/span><\/p>\n
