The bear market won\u2019t scuttle Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC)\u00a0adoption plans in the United Kingdom.\u00a0From Oct. 21\u201322 this year, internationally recognized Bitcoin experts, authors and content creators will take part in the United Kingdom\u2019s largest Bitcoin conference to date.<\/p>\n

Organized by the Bitcoin Collective, a newly formed Bitcoin company, and in partnership with Bitcoin and crypto exchange OKX, the event takes place at the Assembly Rooms on Edinburgh\u2019s George Street.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jordan Walker, CEO of the Bitcoin Collective, told Cointelegraph, \u201cthe conference is solely Bitcoin related, as this is our focus as we aim to inform and educate the collective.\u201d In the press release, Walker added:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, it\u2019s not about buying or investing in Bitcoin, that\u2019s a whole different discussion. Our focus is on education, so make sure to bring a notebook and pen!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speakers include Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow, <\/em>Greg Foss, Validus Power Corp strategist, Natalie Brunell, <\/em>host of Coin Stories, <\/em>and Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3.<\/em>\u00a0Booth told Cointelegraph that he\u2019s \u201cexcited to meet fellow Bitcoiners and others just starting their journey in Scotland:\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a protocol level technology such as Bitcoin emerging and the confusion around it and what it means for the future, in-person events such as the Edinburgh conference are critical in broadening the awareness that Bitcoin is for everyone.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The conference upholds education, community, inclusivity and open dialogue as defining principles. According to Haider Rafique, chief marketing officer at OKX, the conference \u201cis just what the Bitcoin industry in the UK needs\u2014the community itself rising up to say this is what we\u2019re about, and this is why you should care.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As Walker makes clear in the Bitcoin Collective podcast, the conference should serve as a catalyst for Bitcoin adoption in Scotland, while it \u201caims to capture as many diverse participants as possible both on and off the stage.\u201d Bitcoin Collective operations director Lucy-Rose Walker explained that \u201cBitcoin is for all, and does not differentiate between gender, race or religion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scotland\u2019s capital, affectionately known as \u201cAuld Reekie\u201d to locals, is Scotland\u2019s second-largest city. With a population of almost 500,000, it makes it slightly smaller than Glasgow. But, it more than compensates in history, architecture and music. Edinburgh attracts more cultural and historical events than Glasgow, including the world-renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Hogmanay (among the world\u2019s largest New Year\u2019s celebrations).<\/p>\n

There were fledgling signs of Bitcoin adoption in Edinburgh throughout 2021, although the conference would hope to make waves in terms of nationwide adoption. Across the border in England, grassroots adoption stories are spreading while the Isle of Man \u2014 a British Crown Dependency \u2014\u00a0is fast becoming a \u201cBitcoin Island.\u201d<\/p>\n

British Bitcoiners feature among the speakers as Peter McCormack, podcaster behind What Bitcoin Did<\/em>; Allen Farrington, author of Bitcoin is Venice <\/em>and Danny Scott, CEO of CoinCorner have been announced as speakers to date. The conference is the inaugural Bitcoin Collective conference, with locations for the following years yet to be announced. <\/p>\n
