Overview

The city of Charlotte will host the Second Annual Cryptolina Bitcoin Expo, a two-day event that will focus on the emerging Bitcoin and digital currency industry. Last summer’s inaugural expo in Raleigh attracted over 350 digital cuurecy developers, enthusiasts, investors and technologists from across the United States and world. Since April, the event has won several local and national sponsorships by organizations and business groups including Packard Place, Bitcoin Charlotte, Uber, Exit Events, and Tally Capital.

Nearly $700m in venture capital has poured into Bitcoin exchanges and businesses to date. The first quarter of 2015 alone saw a record-breaking $229m in venture capital invested in bitcoin start-ups. This growth has prompted the United States and other nations around the world to consider regulatory proposals in an attempt to both define the industry and the businesses growing within the emerging digital currency ecosystem.

Current issues and events pertaining to Bitcoin technology, start-ups, venture capital investment and much more will be discussed and debated. On Friday night, as part of the conference, the East Coast premiere of the highly anticipated “Life on Bitcoin” documentary will be screened at 8:00pm. A purchase of a full conference pass will include complimentary admittance to the screening. General admission tickets for the movie only are available online and at the door for $15.00
