Money20/20 Financial Technology Event, Bitcoin Industry Big Names Gathered

As a world-class fintech event, Money20/20 allows the entire payment, financial services, and retail ecosystem to connect, collaborate, and drive innovation! What is unprecedented about Money20/20 is that it has a large number of high-end people participating, including visionary industry leaders, and one-third of the participants are top management of companies!

Recalling the controversy surrounding Bitcoin at its inception, there were Ponzi schemes, greater fool theories, and even people saying it was an online pyramid scheme. Today, in some countries around the world, Bitcoin has played a role and is very popular locally, relying on its characteristics, such as in Venezuela, where the legal currency once depreciated, and in Africa, where high fees are required for transfers. Similarly, Bitcoin has also made significant progress in the payment field. People with a long-term vision have begun to take action and actively cooperate with local Bitcoin companies to open Bitcoin payment channels to attract more customers.

A taxi company in Budapest, Hungary, announced that it will accept Bitcoin as payment for fares. Its managing director Csaba Horváth said:

“We insist on taking advantage of every opportunity that comes our way and taking advantage of every innovation so that if they eventually succeed, we can say we were the first to use them.”

Now that Bitcoin has been widely recognized, the "block size debate" has become a hot topic related to Bitcoin. So, is it a crisis that hinders the development of Bitcoin, or a challenge to make Bitcoin more perfect?

BTCC CEO Bobby Lee will join four other industry leaders in an in-depth discussion of the “block size debate” and the future of Bitcoin at 4pm on April 6, 2016! The four industry leaders are: Jon Matonis, Founding Director of the Bitcoin Foundation, Tony Gallippi, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of BitPay, Frank Schuil, Co-founder and CEO of Safello, and Pierre Noizat, CEO of Paymium.

It is worth mentioning that the unprecedented thing about Money20/20 is that a large number of high-end people participated in it, which is composed of outstanding people in the industry with great vision. One-third of the participants are top management of enterprises. In addition to the above-mentioned well-known people in the Bitcoin industry, they also include: Patrick Byrne, CEO of retail giant Overstock, Hikmet Ersek, CEO of Western Union, Andy Maguire, COO of HSBC Bank Limited, Sabrina Peng, President of Alipay International, etc.
