Legendary investor Michael Saylor to speak at Europe’s largest Bitcoin conference BTC Prague

Prague, April 11, 2023

Over 100 exhibiting companies, 80 speakers from around the world, including one of the most famous figures in the bitcoin world, Michael J. Saylor, three days filled with lectures and workshops, and 10,000 visitors. The first year of the BTC Prague conference, the largest and most significant event in Europe focused purely on the most popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, will take place in two months in Prague.

Michael J. Saylor is among the most influential Bitcoin maximalists and key figures in the crypto world. American Michael J. Saylor founded the company MicroStrategy, which regularly buys Bitcoins as part of its corporate assets and with 132,000 Bitcoins, the richest cryptocurrency company in the world, and will now speak in Europe for the first time. This will happen during the BTC Prague conference, the Bitcoin event of the year, which will take place from June 8th to 10th at the PVA Letňany exhibition center in Prague.

“Michael has an excellent reputation and strong and consistent views that carry significant weight in the Bitcoin community, and he is also a person who opened the doors to Bitcoin adoption by traditional companies. That is why I am glad that we managed to persuade him to speak for the first time in Europe at our event,” says Martin Kuchař, one of the organizers of BTC Prague, which will not have any peers with an estimated number of 10,000 visitors not only in the Czech Republic but also in Europe.

In addition to Saylor, a number of other Bitcoin world personalities, including Blockstream CEO Dr. Adam Back, SatoshiLabs co-founder Marek Palatin, and Robert Breedlove, author of the popular “What is Money?” podcast, have accepted an invitation to the largest purely Bitcoin conference in Europe. The Czech-English program will offer plenty of stimulating ideas for entrepreneurs, researchers, influencers, philosophers, developers, and freedom lovers during the three acquired days.

Parallel to the program on stage, the expoitself will take place, featuring over 100 companies focused on building Bitcoin infrastructure, including hardware and software wallets, mining tools, exchanges, or even beer taps connected to the Lightning Network. The ambition of the BTC Prague organizers is not only to appeal to experienced Bitcoin fans but also to those who are aware of Bitcoin but are not so active in it – and subsequently guide them through the entire process.

“In the current complex economic situation, when we all feel the effects of inflation, uncertainties surrounding the stability of banks or high interest rates, Bitcoin is proving to be a kind of lifeboat. It is certainly riskier today not to have it than to have it. Therefore, we want to focus heavily on newcomers, to make it easier for them to enter the Bitcoin world and practically show them how to do it,” says Martin Kuchař.

Martin is one of the important figures in the domestic crypto scene – together with his brother Matyas, they’re responsible for organizing four successful annual bitcoin events called ChainCamp, which gather over 2000 enthusiasts each year in Ostrava. Moving to Prague and significantly expanding the scale of the entire event is a logical culmination of both brothers’ journey, or rather the growing popularity of Bitcoin.

The fact that the largest and most significant Bitcoin conference will take place in Prague is symbolic. As Martin Kuchar says, the Czech Republic is the “Bitcoin Valley” of the crypto world and Prague could boldly be called the world capital of Bitcoin. Because a number of revolutionary projects that played a key role in the adoption of the world’s largest cryptocurrency were created in the Czech Republic. We can name, for example, the hardware wallet Trezor from SatoshiLabs or the first mining pool from Braiins, or bitcoin ATMs from General Bytes. “I see BTC Prague as another Czech project that confirms the importance of the Czech Republic for Bitcoin,” adds Martin Kuchar.
