The much anticipated prestigious blockchain event, Blockchain Saturday is set to return in Lagos, Nigeria. We are proud to announce that the 6th edition of The Blockchain Saturday event is here. After weeks of planning and execution, most of our plans have come to fruition, most of which centres around the venue, speakers and of course sponsors.

The theme for the event is “The Future of Money” and it is safe to say that despite the progress Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies have made over the years in going mainstream, there are still millions who doubt blockchain and cryptocurrency, and there are a whole lot more who are oblivious to this space entirely. So, the conversation about the history of money is super important, as it tells the story of where money is heading.

About Blockchain Saturday



Blockchain Saturday is a periodic meet-up where renowned experts, industry leaders and practitioners, as well as enthusiasts, within the blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem come together to synergize, share ideas, and network. This gathering is to facilitate the cross-pollination of ideas to drive towards a more sustainable blockchain ecosystem in Africa. At Blockchain Saturday, it is our belief that the idea of the next disruptive project similar to Bitcoin, can be conceived at this meetup, and for that reason, every idea is worth considering as we work together towards the nurturing and development of projects that will later become products that will solve real-world problems.

We all can create an enabling environment that is geared towards learning, and against the imposition of ideas on participants.

So, What is the Future of Money?

Bitcoin has left a remarkable dent in the future of money, and at Blockchain Saturday, we are always exploring ways to better leverage the disruptive power that blockchain and cryptocurrency offers. And we are excited that the speakers’ line-up to make presentations at the event will be speaking in line with this theme, with their respective projects in mind. They will be sharing their unique crypto journey, and how far they’ve all come, and the plans for the future.

The speakers we will be having the privilege of listening to are:
