This panel brings together sharply different perspectives to examine whether surveillance is an inevitable consequence of transparency, a necessary regulatory tool, or a fundamental threat to Bitcoin’s purpose. The discussion aims to leave the audience with a clearer mental model of what Bitcoin privacy really means, who it serves, and where the limits of state involvement should lie.

From load-shedding in Zambia, South Africa to surplus hydro and renewables elsewhere in the region, the question is no longer whether energy exists — but how it can be effectively monetized. This session reframes Bitcoin mining as critical digital infrastructure, rather than speculation. Bitcoin mining operates as a flexible, location-agnostic buyer of energy, capable of monetizing surplus and renewable power, supporting private generation, and converting local electricity into globally traded digital value. Drawing on real-world deployments and operational insights from emerging markets, the talk explores how mining can contribute to grid resilience, skilled job creation, and foreign-currency revenue generation across South Africa, Zambia, and the wider Southern African region. The session also addresses the importance of transparency, open systems, and responsible regulation in ensuring mining delivers long-term public benefit. Attendees will leave with a practical, grounded understanding of how Bitcoin mining can support Africa’s energy transition while strengthening economic and financial sovereignty.

Because this conference is full of people who care deeply about privacy, I’ll be direct about trade-offs: • What on-chain data actually reveals (and what it doesn’t) • Why clustering and change-detection are probabilistic, and where they fail • Where “identity attribution” really comes from (usually off-chain) • How poor analytics leads to poor policy and collateral damage I’ll then share practical, non-evasion privacy hygiene for Bitcoin users (data minimisation, wallet practices, avoiding common linkage mistakes).

Yet the reality is simple: personal finance decisions influence how much Bitcoin people can save, how long they can hold it, and whether they panic-sell when life gets stressful. At the same time, global finance is undergoing a dramatic transformation as Wall Street institutions gradually (then suddenly) adopt Bitcoin. This session bridges these two worlds. First, we explore core personal finance principles that every Bitcoin educator should integrate into their teaching: * building emergency reserves * becoming debt-free in an inflationary world that worships Keynes * understanding low time preference basic concepts * mitigating taxation * retiring on BTC * estate planning for true generational BTC wealth Next, we zoom out to the macro landscape, where Bitcoin is increasingly being absorbed into the financial system through ETFs, corporate balance sheets, and institutional products. We'll discuss how Bitcoin as a trojan horse is now inside the walls of Wall Street and how it will slowly change the debt ridden world we live in, into a more sustainable and abundant world backed by BTC. Attendees will leave with a framework for how to become even more financially sovereign and how to teach this discipline to others. They will also get a current run down of Bitcoin adoption on Wall Street and what we can expect if trends continue to accelerate.

This broken first impression creates lasting barriers to adoption. This talk addresses how we can fix Bitcoin onboarding by understanding the newbie journey and implementing practical solutions. The problem is systemic—traditional platforms prioritize trading over education, overwhelming newcomers with unnecessary complexity when they simply want access to better money. The solution requires reimagining how we introduce Bitcoin. Key principles include simplicity first, education over speculation, user-centric design that meets people where they are, and eliminating friction at every step. I'll share specific strategies for orange-pilling skeptical audiences, including how to address "Bitcoin is a scam" objections with empathy and clear value propositions focused on Bitcoin's monetary properties rather than price speculation. Drawing from Bitika's real-world approach, I'll demonstrate how these principles translate into practice through intuitive interface design, progressive educational pathways, trust-building through transparency, and measuring success by actual adoption rather than trading volume. Attendees will learn practical frameworks for improving their own Bitcoin products, education initiatives, and community building efforts. This matters urgently as Bitcoin enters its next adoption phase. We have one chance to make the right first impression with each newcomer. By prioritizing clarity over complexity and understanding over hype, we can accelerate Bitcoin's path to becoming global money and empower the next billion users.

In the process of doing that work — researching, documenting the merchants, writing guides on everything from how businesses can accept Bitcoin to how customers can spend it, meeting industry players like MoneyBadger, spending Bitcoin myself using tools like Luno Pay and Lightning wallets like Blink, connecting with many like-minded individuals and speaking to many people on the ground — I went through a major shift: from seeing Bitcoin mainly as digital gold to understanding it as both digital gold and real money people can use for everyday spending and saving. This talk briefly covers the Bitcoin payment landscape in SA and how to pay with BTC before sharing the key lessons I've learned along the way, including: 1. Bitcoin is an SoV and MoV, and that means spending and saving can co-exist 2. At the till, Bitcoin is still early, but every successful payment is a moment for education 3. Invisible Bitcoin payments don't drive adoption: In SA, Bitcoin payments are often invisible because people can pay by scanning a QR code without mentioning "Bitcoin". 4. People are reluctant to spend Bitcoin, and we discuss why, covering topics like HODL culture, short-term volatility concerns, and tax implications. It concludes with ideas for driving adoption forward. This is not a technical talk but a grounded account of my experience: what Bitcoin adoption really looks like after building BitcoinFriendlySA, writing content, speaking to people, and simply learning by doing.

Ark uses a shared UTXO model coordinated by an always-on operator, enabling near-instant offchain payments with periodic onchain settlement. Participants will learn how Virtual UTXOs (VTXOs) represent user-controlled claims on shared onchain outputs, and how Ark enables unilateral exits using presigned transactions, CSV delays, Taproot scripts, and MuSig2—without requiring covenants. The session explains how commitment transactions anchor virtual balances to Bitcoin, and how connector and forfeit transactions ensure atomicity between batches without requiring trust in the operator. The workshop also explores Ark’s trust model, including offchain preconfirmation versus onchain finality, its relationship to the Lightning Network, and current research challenges such as exit costs, operator decentralization, liquidity provision, and scalability under mass exits. This session is suitable for researchers, developers, and technically curious Bitcoiners interested in L2 design and scaling tradeoffs.

It was designed to teach bitcoin concepts in an engaging way. Participants form groups of 4 and play through the game while guided by a facilitator (in this case, Emily, one of the game's co-creators). Along the way, they will encounter bitcoin fundamentals in action: finite supply, nodes verifying transactions as they enter the mempool, the process of mining, and more. Unlike traditional lectures or panels, the Blockhunters Workshop is participatory and experiential. Players learn by doing: the game’s rules are based on the bitcoin protocol itself, and players act it out. This tactile engagement ensures knowledge retention while also building camaraderie among participants. It’s very easy to pick up, the rules are not so complicated. The workshop is suitable for: 1. Newcomers who want an accessible, introduction to bitcoin. (This type of player consistently highlights how the format made bitcoin concepts “click”) 2. Educators & community builders looking for innovative teaching tools. Blockhunters really shines in an educational environment. 3. Seasoned bitcoiners who want a fun, social activity. It’s a fun game and the pros delight in seeing the protocol come alive through play!! We want to contribute an inclusive, high-energy session by bringing Blockhunters to Adopting Bitcoin in Cape Town.

But that magic is only the tip of the iceberg. Behind Bitcoin is an invisible infrastructure of contributors, engineers, reviewers, maintainers, and community builders, doing the unglamorous, high-stakes work that keeps the protocol alive. Historically, this work has been geographically concentrated, creating a quiet centralization risk for a system meant to be decentralized. In this session, we'll go behind the scenes of Bitcoin development and into the work Btrust is doing to change that reality. This talk is ultimately a reminder that Bitcoin’s future depends not only on code, but on the people, and the invisible work, that sustain it.

The session will also look at localization beyond interfaces. That includes translating Bitcoin education and product messaging into local African languages, and adapting concepts like saving, spending and volatility to how people actually earn and plan in informal and low to middle income settings. I will touch on the idea of “sachetization” in an African context, where offering small, manageable amounts of value fits daily income patterns and helps people experiment with Bitcoin without feeling exposed. Overall, the talk will unpack how onramps, offramps and user flows must be designed around local realities if we want sustainable adoption. The goal is to give builders and educators concrete insights on how to make Bitcoin tools usable, trustworthy and relevant for the communities they serve.

First, Fix the Motivation With this talk, based on my on- ground experience in Kenya, I’ll be exploring the notion that education alone is enough to drive bitcoin adoption. While critical, it is just the beginning. What really gets Bitcoin into people’s hands, and keeps it there, is the motivation, and nothing reinforces that motivation more than the ability to spend it meaningfully in daily life. When people see that Bitcoin isn’t just something to learn about or hold, but something they can actually use to pay for goods, services, or support their communities, adoption shifts from theory to lived reality.

Karatbars, founded by Harald Seiz, promised gold-backed cryptos via MLM, drawing investors with wealth preservation claims. Hype crested in 2019 at Golden Independence Day in Las Vegas, but failed coin-to-gold exchanges revealed fraud, prompting warnings from SA's FSCA, Germany's BaFin, and others. The 2020 GSB rebrand under Josip Heit continued similar tactics, promoting Dubai property shares as potential unregistered securities. By late 2025, GSB faced multi-jurisdictional settlements via NASAA, with refund claims open from Feb 21 to May 22, 2025, for investors in areas like Alberta, Colorado, Arizona, and British Columbia—now closed. In SA, FSCA's 2023 warnings yielded no major actions, exposing gaps that pushed victims toward class-actions against promoters. My role—2018 blog alerts, talks with experts, and lawsuit defenses for YouTube critiques—shows advocacy's perils. In contrast, Bitcoin's 21M supply cap and blockchain transparency enable real self-sovereignty, without central control or empty promises. I'll link my experiments, like a year-long savings trial with 75% growth via Lightning Network, surpassing fiat amid SA's ~78% debt-to-GDP. The talk covers scam red flags (e.g., high returns, no audits) vs. bitcoin's mechanics, with tips: secure wallets vs. malware, pushing bitcoin in pensions, and NPO education to bridge centralised failures. This fits Adopting Bitcoin themes by showing scam fallout fueling parallel institutions—like grassroots nets hedging inflation for unbanked Africans.

Robert Allen, founder of COINCUBE, presents Bitcoin as the solution to unlocking Africa's potential. Africa suffers from a quasi-barter system of trade with 42 different fiat currencies, each with very little utility outside of each respective political jurisdiction. This bifurcation results in $5B in annual currency conversion costs. Learn how Bitcoin's borderless, fast, and low-cost nature can empower direct, independent trade across the continent. To achieve this vision, we will need to move African businesses onto a Bitcoin standard. What are the steps we can take to make this a reality? Let's explore together!

Bitsavers Eduhub was founded to bridge this gap by equipping African youth with practical Bitcoin education and guiding them on their journey to financial sovereignty. Through our 15‑session open‑source curriculum, students learn the fundamentals of Bitcoin, the discipline of dollar‑cost averaging, and the critical importance of self‑custody. Beyond theory, we foster adoption through a circular economy, enabling merchants and students to transact in Bitcoin while still engaging with fiat systems. Our impact so far includes two successful virtual cohorts, 62 graduates, applications from 20+ countries, and campus events attracting 150 participants. We have built communities, supported merchants in adopting Bitcoin payment solutions, and demonstrated that grassroots adoption is not only possible but scalable when communities take ownership of their financial future. This session will share lessons from building a Bitcoin‑first educational project in Africa, focusing on replicable models of education, community engagement, and a circular economy. Attendees will discover how empowering youth and campus students with Bitcoin literacy creates ripple effects such as strengthening resilience, fostering innovation, and building parallel institutions that thrive where centralized systems fall short.

These structures have constrained trust, limited mobility, and weakened economic self-determination across the continent and its global diaspora. This talk examines Bitcoin’s relevance to Africa through the lens of political economy, sovereignty, and real-world adoption. Rather than focusing on price cycles or technical mechanics, it situates Bitcoin as a parallel monetary infrastructure capable of operating alongside existing systems where institutional trust is limited and access remains uneven. Drawing on hands-on work with diaspora investors, entrepreneurs, and families building across multiple African markets, the session explores how fragmented currencies, cross-border friction, and regulatory constraints shape everyday economic decisions. It highlights the role of grassroots adoption, diaspora capital flows, and community-led parallel institutions in accelerating Bitcoin usage without reliance on centralized authorities. The discussion positions Bitcoin as a tool for economic resilience and coordination rather than speculation. It invites attendees to consider how neutral, borderless money can support trade, mobility, and long-term planning in environments shaped by historical and structural imbalance. For those engaged in Bitcoin adoption, Africa offers critical insights into how monetary sovereignty emerges in practice. This session connects those insights to the broader global conversation on self-sovereignty, trust, and the future of parallel systems.

To scale Bitcoin for broader adoption, a growing ecosystem of second-layer solutions has emerged, each making different tradeoffs between security, trust, liquidity, and usability. This panel brings together researchers, builders, and practitioners to examine how Bitcoin scales beyond the base layer. Topics include the Lightning Network, transaction batching models, channel-based and UTXO-sharing approaches, and newer Layer 2 proposals. Panelists will compare trust models (custodial vs. non-custodial, preconfirmation vs. finality), discuss operational challenges such as liquidity provision and mass exits, and explore how user experience and reliability shape real-world adoption. The discussion aims to move beyond slogans and clarify the design space of Bitcoin L2s: what problems different approaches actually solve, what risks they introduce, and how these systems may evolve together rather than compete. The panel is intended for a technically curious audience seeking a clearer mental model of Bitcoin scaling tradeoffs.
