BlockShow Europe 2018 welcomes Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales to their major blockchain conference Crowdholding Follow May 15, 2018 · 2 min read

After an eventful two months of hosting blockchain meetups across Europe, Blockshow is bringing their journey to a close with the featured conference, BlockShow Europe 2018. For the main conference in Berlin (May 28–29), over 80 blockchain experts will share insights from their expertise on a wide range of blockchain and crypto related topics.

BlockShow is delighted to welcome Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia and one of Time’s “100 Most Influential People,” to the conference. Jimmy is a huge influence and proponent in the crypto sphere. Jimmy first started toying with the digital currency back in 2014, when in March of that year he tweeted that he was “playing with BTC.” He also attached his wallet address to a following tweet, where he received 5 BTC worth of unsolicited donations. The rest, as they say, is history.

Since 2014, Wikipedia and the rest of The Wikimedia Foundation have accepted Bitcoin as a method of donation, helping drive usage of the digital currency.

The conference will include over 80 globally recognized speakers in total. Included in this list are experts such as:

Bobby Lee — Co-founder of BTCC, Board Member at Bitcoin Foundation
