Latin America Is the Perfect Environment for Bitcoin
Latin American countries have huge scope for Bitcoin payment, particularly, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, etc. The organizers believe that the continent has the perfect environment for Bitcoin to thrive as its people are intimately familiar with inflation, hyperinflation, devaluation, government confiscation, abusive taxes, interest rates, excessive fees, and capital controls.
Nonetheless, some of the Latin American countries are heavily underbanked as well and then there is huge market for remittance thanks to Diaspora living in the US. Interestingly, the continent has exceptional Smartphone penetration and technical expertise that can make Bitcoin the most plausible option for people to transfer money from the US.
Rio is considered one of the “best cities of the world to visit” and in the 5th most populous country in the world. The city has over 60,000 Bitcoin adopters which makes the conference a unique opportunity to meet the whole regional Bitcoin ecosystem face to face in one place and promote your business.
