Bitcoin Policy Summit 2024

Bitcoin Policy Summit 2024 | April 9th 8:30am EDT | Washington D.C.

The Bitcoin Policy Summit convenes academics, policymakers, activists, and industry leaders to share insights and explore critical questions, including:
* Where are Bitcoin and stablecoins owned and used around the world? Who's using them and why?
* What’s unique about Bitcoin? Why did major financial institutions create Bitcoin investment products?
* What are the geopolitical, climate, and economic ramifications of Bitcoin and the proliferation of digital money?
* How much and what kinds of energy does Bitcoin mining use? Can mining contribute to the growth of renewable energy?
* How do we safeguard civil liberties as payments increasingly happen digitally through intermediaries?
* How are digital assets regulated now? What is the critical proposed legislation, and what should policy look like?

Join us for a day of bipartisan policy discussions as we parse fact from fiction around Bitcoin.
