๐โจThis week weโre rewinding to the Blockchain and Bitcoin Africa Conference 2016 in Johannesburg!
๐ฅWith 200 local and international delegates, this event was a smashing success and completely sold out, co-hosted by #Absa, a member of #Barclays.
๐๐We were thrilled to welcome Marcus Swanepoel, Co-founder and CEO of BitX (now known as Luno), as our Keynote Speaker. In the same year, the demand for #bitcoin in South Africa made headlines as prices surged over 20% and closed on 31 Dec 2016 at $963.74.
๐คTune in as Marcus shares his insights on 'The Banks of the Future: How cryptocurrency will shape the next generation of financial services'๐ธhttps://bit.ly/3wYpCqp

๐๐Remember Lunoโs previous name? ๐ At the inaugural Bitcoin Africa Conference we brought together #merchants, #investors, #venturecapitalists, #start-ups and #Bitcoin enthusiasts who were all looking to move Bitcoin forward in #Africa
๐๐คOne of those innovative thought leaders was Erik Wilgenhof Plante, the former Chief Compliance Officer at BitX (now Luno), and currently the Chief Compliance Officer at PingPong. Erik gave an inspiring talk on Earning Trust.
